According to a recent study, paper straws contain "forever chemical" and may actually be worse for the environment than plastic straws.
Who could've seen that coming?

@Jacquifelgate The whole plane cheering right at the moment when Frodo wakes up after destroying the ring and he sees his friends and his burden is finally lifted… I’m absolutely touched
If you only ever share or retweet one of my comments, make it is this one as it’s so important:
Irish TD's and Politicians claim they have never received more letters, objections and concerns about a piece of legislation, yet @HMcEntee@LeoVaradkar and all parties are continuing to pursue the new proposed Orwellian #HateSpeech Bill against the wishes of the people.
This legislation will at worse jail people for speaking their mind and at it's least cause a chilling effect to free speech in Ireland.
We spoke to author and journalist @shellenberger about this and below is the whole interview for those who missed it.
In all my years of journalism and talk radio I have never come across a situation where mass objection to a Bill is being completely ignored by almost all of your public representatives.
I've decided to post the whole show here to avoid directing you anywhere else because I believe this is so important at this moment in Irish History.
Please watch it and share it to make sure Irish people know exactly what is on the way with this legislation. #FreeSpeech #HateSpeech #HateCrime @elonmusk
Three in four people think we have allowed too many refugees into the country. 76% understand why people are angry when refugees are moved into their area and communities. Whats the government’s reaction? Call the ‘three in four’ right wing and send the Gardai to deal with the 76% and use force if they object or are concerned about their community. And how will Mícheál, Leo and Roderick react to the many polls that have already stated these facts? By continuing to allow more and more people to come to Ireland in the middle of a housing crises with no consideration for communities, citizens or your concerns. You will be shamed into accepting their decision by being labeled a right wing racist. Just like when people didn’t agree with Covid restrictions you were shamed into compliance. There is only one conclusion any logically minded person can come to and that is, THEY DONT CARE WHAT YOU THINK. Bottom line they will all be re-elected in some shape or form and continue to get paid a good wage from your hard earned taxes. The political system is broken and the only people allowed fix it are the ones breaking it. If we ignore the Green party with too much power with 3% of the vote, we now have three main parties who are all cheeks of the same three sided arse. There was a time in Irish democracy and politics when we actually had opposition and parties with opposing policies but now they all are in bed together for fear they lose a wage and they don’t give a shit what the voters think because they will scramble together to save their jobs with not enough votes so they can form a government. With the exception of a handful of independents they are all self serving and that includes smaller socialist parties who are nothing more than overpaid opportunists. When will the Irish people wake up to mess this country is in and demand real change (that doesn’t mean voting for Sinn Fein as they will do exactly the same). Hopefully it’s not too late for Ireland but I fear the damage will take years to repair. This tweet will maybe get a few shares disappear down the timeline today and be forgotten and be ignored by most but if just a few people on both sides of the political divide see it and it makes people really think about how they are being ignored as citizens we will all eventually agree those in power are guilty of thrashing the democratic process and a dereliction of duty to the people who voted for them. Please Ireland it’s time to demand change.

@mark_omahony1@IrishTimes The genuine Refugees are welcome in Ireland Mark. It's the fakers taking advantage of the situation people have a problem with I'd say.
