@robertburke84 I don't think it's genuine self-loathing. There has to be a "self" in the first place for that. I think they're parroting a script, regurgitating ideological and political ideas concocted elsewhere, toeing the party line.
Found a water vortexer with copper lining on the top of hill in a park in Prague. THIS WOULD HEAL MILLIONS if built into global city water infrastructure.
Replace ALL plastic piping WITH COPPER. It's antimicrobial, and doesn't release endocrine disruptors into our drinking water.

Academics write for each other, not for people.
Steven Pinker has spent over four decades doing the opposite, and thinks current academic writing is "enormous wasted effort."
"There's an awful lot of brilliant work, really smart people in academia. Why are they doing it? Just to entertain each other? Taxpayers pay for it. It should be accessible. Why should I have to read a paragraph five or six times?
It gets under my skin when academics devote so much brainpower into the scholarship and then just blow off the essential task of letting the world know what you've done."
@ColetteColfer It isn’t. It’s linked to Alan shatter, a man who condemns despicable replies to a Twitter post as “sickness, prejudice & hate” yet champions Israel’s continued slaughter of people.
My son started his Leaving Cert today. Like every parent, I wish him and every student the very best.
But no matter how well he does, he's already planning to leave Ireland.
His brothers have gone before him.
Think about that for a moment.
Three Irish sons, forced to build their futures on the other side of the world while politicians congratulate themselves and tell us everything is fine.
It is not fine.
What is the point of encouraging our children to study hard, work hard, and achieve their dreams if they have to leave their own country to have any chance of a decent future?
Ireland is losing its young people. We are losing our sons and daughters.
I oppose the EU Migration Pact and I believe the Irish people should be given a referendum. Let the people decide the future of their country.
Good luck to every Leaving Cert student today. You deserve more than a certificate. You deserve the chance to build a life in the country of your birth.
The first fully AI-generated movie to be accepted by a major film festival, Dreams of Violets, is atrocity propaganda for war with Iran. The trailer features characters gazing joyfully up at US/Israeli fighter jets arriving to bomb their country while a narrator talks of freedom:
Low-to-mean performing white men, constantly criticized from all sides, have by far the lowest self-esteem levels and highest suicide rates among all US groups.
Just saying.
