@NiGhallchobhair @laoisedebrun Well I'm not paying the examiner to actually read the details. Designed for clicks I'm sure.

@benonwine GFY fascist

On @rte, I highlighted a striking contradiction

Australia banned the export of alumina to Russia, citing its critical role in the Kremlin's war machine

Yet, Ireland hosts Europe’s largest alumina refinery and exports to Russia have skyrocketed since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine

@henrywinter I met Kevin at the Esso Hotel, Wembley, after he played a major role in defeating Scotland 5-1 in 1975. As a 10 year old Scot, I will always remember that he told me to get my tartan scarf back on and that my team would come back again. A truly great man.

@RoisinMichaux There's @GenderReceipts of course.

Every day, ships leave this russian owned factory in Ireland straight for St Petersburg carrying thousands of tonnes of raw alumina for the war machine.

There’s corruption everywhere. Locals tell me politicians are bought by oligarchs.

Ireland is no longer militarily neutral.

@GovenderKiren @MichealMartinTD He was there last year. Stop being facetious.

@SwipeWright @Boston__Sucks @michaelshermer @ScienceBasedMed There are analogous issues on the right. Science is hard. Thinking independently of one's tribe is very hard indeed.

In This Is Also a Love Story, journalist @sallyhayd tells tales of love surviving in the darkest of circumstances. She says she wrote it partly for herself: “I was feeling despair at the cruelty of humans… I needed to remind myself that there’s kindness & goodness in the world.”

@esjesjesj Lol. Women are easier on the eye. Men are funnier though, that's our peacock thing.

[Eliot Richardson @fitzcavendish]

@fiannafact @TullMcAdoo Yes a lot of unaccountable power in Ireland. That it is not provably non-corrupt is a problem. County managers have a lot of power btw, councillors little.

[Eliot Richardson @fitzcavendish]

@quietgoodnight @zaelefty Correct. Gender is all the stuff associated with sex.

[Eliot Richardson @fitzcavendish]

@nyaraVT @jk_rowling We are a sexually reproducing species. That's where gender comes from.

.@hlinehan's chat with @helenlewis on the Irish Times podcast.

@TheAtlantic @helenlewis This is not going down well on Bluesky I can tell you 😄
