We urgently need a moratorium on data centres. Otherwise we will be left to bear the burden of the water they consume. As it is in Dublin, the government expects us to make do, somehow, with 20% of our water supply.

It is NOT acceptable for this fair to go ahead in a #heatwave @Corkcoco. Animals standing on hot concrete & tarmac in uncomfortable temps. Dogs in crates etc #Cahirmeehorsefair will pose #welfare issues tomorrow. CANCEL IT.

This is Katie.

Not a hospital file.
Not a waiting list number.
Not another case to be passed from one person to another.

She is 19 years old, and she has spent nearly 16 years waiting for someone in Ireland to take her hip seriously.

She has done everything asked of her.
She finished school while in pain.
She sat her Leaving Cert while in pain.
She has fought through days most people never see.

And now she is still waiting.

Waiting on the HSE.
Waiting on a decision.
Waiting to know if she will be sent to Florida for the surgery Dr Paley says she needs, or if she will be left here to suffer until it is too late.

No young person should have to beg for a chance to walk.
No mother should have to keep fighting this hard just to get her child the medical care she needs.

Katie deserves a future.
She deserves college.
She deserves independence.
She deserves a life that is not ruled by pain.

Please watch her.
Please listen to her.
Please share her story.

Because Katie has been waiting long enough.

So James Woods was exposed for trying to traffic two 16 year old girls to Vegas, then he locked down his account?

Of course, EVERY Trump supporter is either a pedophile, or a pedophile enabler.

Mitch McConnell is reportedly brain dead. The journalist who broke his cardiac arrest is at the hospital waiting for them to move his body. Her name is Desirée Townsend.
She's the independent reporter who obtained the EMS scanner audio confirming paramedics performed CPR at McConnell's D.C. home on June 14. NBC and CBS spent a week catching up to her.
Yesterday she tweeted that she's physically at the hospital, that multiple sources have told her the 84-year-old senator has been declared brain dead, and that his Capitol Police detail was still there as of 3:39pm ET.
Laura Loomer posted the same claim, citing a White House source. McConnell's office will not confirm or deny. They insist he is "continuing to improve."
The brain-death claim is not yet verified. Here's what is.
McConnell has been hospitalized for three straight weeks with no public explanation.
His office has never said why he was admitted. His last vote was June 11.
His wife Elaine Chao was photographed in Beijing meeting the Chinese vice president three days after her husband collapsed. She has not come home.
His daughter deactivated her X account.
Neighbors of his D.C. townhouse say no one has come or gone since the ambulance took him away. Not family. Not staff.
Kentucky's Democratic Governor Andy Beshear says McConnell's office is not returning his calls.
Now the politics.
Kentucky Republicans quietly rewrote the state's succession law in 2024. If McConnell's seat opens, Beshear cannot appoint a replacement. A special election gets triggered instead.
And the timing matters. If he can't finish his term after August 3, the special election just rolls into November. Before August 3, the GOP has to hold a standalone race.
They’re watching the calendar.
The election they're trying to avoid is the GOP's nightmare. Thomas Massie, the Republican congressman who has become one of Trump's loudest critics, would be a heavy favorite to run and split the red vote wide open.
Every day they hide McConnell's condition is a day they don't have to hold that race.
Whatever is actually happening in that hospital room, this is the picture from outside it: a senator who has not been seen in three weeks, a wife who left the country, a family that has gone dark, a governor being frozen out, and a party racing the clock on a succession law they wrote themselves.
Townsend is still at the hospital.

The Irish state investment fund increased its shareholding in Peter Thiel's Palantir last year as the Israeli military used its technology to commit genocide in Gaza.

It’s a travesty of justice that this autistic suspect will be behind bars for over a year without trial just so @FBIDirectorKash can say he solved the case and hope to extract a plea deal.

And it’s criminal that the real instigators are still roaming free after 6 years.

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Mark Rutte

"You sit next to Donald Trump at moments when he talks about conquering Greenland, talks about lashing out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

This is Nevo Nadalski.

He is one of the main people organising attacks against the Palestinian village of Umm al-Kheir. He is the military coordinator of Carmel settlement. He is present at every attack against Palestinians in the area.

Make him famous.

The Irish Coursing Club has refused to provide evidence for its claim, repeated by the junior minister for agriculture, that hare coursing adds €70m to the Irish economy annually.

It comes ahead of a Dáil vote to ban the blood sport tomorrow night.
