The "Middle Class" was a 50-year fluke designed to prevent a communist revolution during the Cold War. Now that the threat is gone, the elites are systematically dismantling it. You aren't "falling behind"; you’re being pushed back into the peasantry.

Cape Verde is one of the best counterarguments in sports history to the misguided concept that only championships matter.

The presumption that there are no meaningful accomplishments in sport short of winning everything is an overly simplistic, toxic mentality that has to die.

And even when @DonalOgC talks about Galway it's from a Cork perspective (AND he calls us Limerick). This absolutely beggars belief @RTEgaa. Ye spend 40 mins on today's match and 10 on @Galway_GAA v Cork . What's the point in even pretending to give us air time?

[Zitabix @Zitabix]

Wow. Yesterday, @Galway_GAA won an All Ireland semi-final. Yet @TheSundayGame is still focusing on Cork.

Sneaky lie in complete
Coffee in hand
Camogie on
Waiting for the men's semi-final
Safe in the knowledge we will face the winners
Recording of yesterday ready for watching afterwards
I wish the @Galway_GAA lads knew the quiet, magical days they give us #GaillimhAbú

🚨 David Beckham on Cape Verde’s elimination after pushing Argentina to extra time in the FIFA World Cup:

🗣️ “This is the cruelest side of football. Cape Verde have been eliminated, but they leave this tournament with something far more important than just a scoreline—they leave with the respect of the entire football world. They took the defending world champions all the way into extra time and made Argentina fight for every single minute. Nobody expected that before kick-off.

When I think about this performance, I think about Vozinha first. His saves kept Cape Verde alive when many teams would have collapsed. Then you have Deroy Duarte and Sydney Lopes, two players who will forever be remembered in their country’s football history. They scored against Argentina, they believed when so many people doubted them, and they gave millions of Cape Verdeans a night they will never forget.

People will only remember that Argentina qualified, but those who truly understand football will remember how close Cape Verde came to creating one of the greatest upsets in World Cup history. They never hid, they never stopped running, and they never accepted that they were supposed to lose. Every challenge, every tackle, every attack showed a team playing with pride, courage, and absolute belief.

This is not a story of failure. This is a story of a nation announcing itself to the football world. Cape Verde arrived at this World Cup as outsiders, but they leave having proven they belong on the biggest stage. They stretched the world champions to their absolute limit, forced them into extra time, and made them earn every second of their qualification.

Football can be incredibly unfair. Sometimes the team that captures the hearts of everyone watching is not the team that advances. But no whistle can erase what Cape Verde have achieved. Vozinha, Deroy Duarte, Sydney Lopes, and every player wearing that shirt have inspired a generation. Argentina continue their journey, but Cape Verde leave this World Cup as heroes.”

[Zitabix @Zitabix]

I haven't felt the familiar disappointment to quite the same degree this week after the loss on Sunday. Mainly just pride that the lads could even show up. Dubs football "fans" would do well to read this & perhaps reflect on their behavior at matches in future. RIP Paul.

For the one millionth time

Ireland is not and never has been a “British Isle”

The term has literally zero factual basis in reality and has never been recognised by the Irish state or Irish people

It is an insulting term which attempts to erase our unique and separate identity

And those who continue to use this term are either ignorant, stupid or intentionally being disrespectful towards us Irish and the Irish nation

Again, Ireland is not and never has been a “British Isle”

In completely unrelated news, there are 116 data centres in the Greater Dublin Area

[Theo McDonald @tbald101]

Couldn't make it up

The gov paid KPMG over 100k for an inaccurate report on data centre employment

The report claimed data centres support over 800,000 jobs

In reality data centres support around 20,000 jobs mainly in construction while putting massive strain on the energy grid

In 2019, PwC told the govt to stop relying on consultants. The gov paid them 500k for this advice

The average Irish worker cannot afford the average home in:

Dublin.
Cork.
Galway.
Limerick.
Waterford.
Every major city.
The Irish housing market is no longer designed to house Irish workers.
It's designed to inflate assets.
A society that cannot house its workers is a failed society.

Everything else is propaganda. 🇮🇪

A small public service announcement from the Department of Things That You Should Know…

It has not “peeked” your interest.
Nor has it “peaked” your interest.

…It has piqued your interest.

You are not “phased” by something.
You are fazed by it.

If you’ve had a long day, you are weary.
If you suspect someone is an idiot, you are wary.

It is “due course”, not “do course”.
“Per se”, not “per say”.

And while we’re here, it’s “could have”, not “could of”, but that particular battle may already be lost.

Thank you for your attention during this brief outbreak of grammatical housekeeping.

This has been a @LairdofthManor announcement.🎩💙

Sheryl Crow speaks out after Trump’s UFC 250 event: “To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency. Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living. Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people. It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them. Let's be better, America.”
