A consistent pattern in Irish politics is that our politicians are unable to solve the major problems in Irish society and therefore devote themselves almost wholly to inventing minor problems that they can then act on. Wine bottles need cancer labels. This street has a bad name.
@john_mcguirk I rounded the corner in Venice and was stopped in my tracks by the church from Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade. The film of my childhood.
Former FG politician Pat Cox is an non-executive director of Gresham House, the British investor which is doing a deal with Coillte for Irish forests.
Pat was previously with Appian, another British investor, investing in Irish social housing.
Stinks. To. Hell.
1/ My first #TwitterFiles report: how @scottgottliebmd - a top Pfizer board member - used the same Twitter lobbyist as the White House to suppress debate on Covid vaccines, INCLUDING FROM A FELLOW HEAD OF @US_FDA!
Thanks @elonmusk for opening these files.

I’ve been seeing a lot of people quoting stats that show more athletes died in the last year than have died in the last 38 years. Is this true? No, let’s chat about it. A 🧵👇🏻
1. THREAD:
THE TWITTER FILES: HOW TWITTER RIGGED THE COVID DEBATE

– By discrediting doctors and other experts who disagreed
– By suppressing ordinary users, including some sharing the CDC’s *own data*
1. TWITTER FILES: PART 7
The FBI & the Hunter Biden Laptop
How the FBI & intelligence community discredited factual information about Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings both after and *before* The New York Post revealed the contents of his laptop on October 14, 2020
How can a regulator do anything about a video taken in public? If I'm wandering down Dame Street and RTE are filming there, does my privacy count? What about say East Wall or anti-lockdown protesters? Or is it just one more body to protect the elite from their... transgressions?
@AnMailleach@DubCityCouncil At the bottom of Grange Rd there's a cross roads (one just leading into a small housing estate) that has 24 traffic light poles. This excludes ESB, streetlight, cycle lane and sign posts.
They must come in boxes of 50.
227 members of the 290-seat Parliament in Iran have called on the Judiciary to issue death sentences for people arrested during the ongoing uprising.
They want to execute innocent protesters who chanted Woman Life Freedom.
The world must stop this act of terror.

“All of this was sustainable only if interest rates never returned to normal levels. That, in turn, required inflation to remain abnormally low forever” — @cjsnowdon argues that the era of easy money was never sustainable https://t.co/8ViGBckbEx
People in the UK are at risk of dying from cold & three hour-long blackouts, which threaten the functioning of medical equipment. The government is desperately trying to produce more natural gas for its people. Climate nihilists think that’s outrageous.
