@tropicanapussy @smithsara79 If you decide half way through the interview that you don’t want to work with them after all, you can then double down on your ethnicity declaration:
• “Speaking as a white man...”
• “I’m always conscious of my white privilege when...”

@vanzyl_dan An extraordinary decision by @WelshRugbyUnion to take the RSA fixture outside the international window. With all their players available they'd have been pummeled, but this was self-inflicted humiliation.

@ScottJThurman @ChrissieEvert @Martina Fuck me, @ScottJThurman, your wit and repartee is wasted on us here. You need a larger audience.

An excellent episode (as usual) of Three Castles Burning with @fallon_donal in conversation with @EamonDelaney10 about the work of his father, specifically the wonderful Wolfe Tone statue on St Stephen's Green. Well worth a listen.

@martinconneely2 @1rorycowan Even Hamas are unlikely to display a failure of critical faculties to that extent.

@jdmccafferty I'd be shaking him down for spurious cards.

@Roddy_Neilson @gmcuk Which reminds me: I trust preparations are at an advanced stage for Dr Rod's Advent Calendar 2024? 😉

The word "dad" is disgracefully employed here by @BBCNews.

As with Brexit, it’s already clear that the only thing Trump supporters in the UK have to celebrate is the discomfort of people who know what’s coming. Give it a year or two & they’ll be demanding that we stop talking about him altogether. It’s like Groundtwat Day.

Palestinians have the right to live in their own land under international law, it’s not something for Israel to “allow.”

This framing is absurd, call it what it is and stop whitewashing Israel’s crimes.

@BobbyMcDonagh1 I heard well regarded golf print journalist @ShaneRyanHere recently give a minimum estimate of 80% of @PGATOUR players as @realDonaldTrump voters. The fact @McIlroyRory is almost inevitably one of them is positively nauseating. #USAElection2024

@philipnolan1 Are you doing deliveries, Philip?

@sinnfeinireland @EOBroin The banks are of course queuing up to advance money to house purchasers without good title to the land and structure.

When the wheels start coming off the wagon, the wreck is just down the road. Never mind, @sinnfeinireland had some good years in opposition, here's to some more.

POETIC JUSTICE:
Kemi Badenoch argued that women should get less money while they focus on kids, and now Tories say she should be denied a top job because she has kids.
Oh @KemiBadenoch 🤣🤣

@jcorrigangolf I never thought I'd feel sympathy for @patrick_cantlay's pay for play position. But the money the players are generating, and a healthy suspicion it's not funneling down efficiently to the grassroots, makes me think he has a point. #rydercup @rydercup @RyderCupEurope @RyderCupUSA

@jdmccafferty Of course "Angus Dei" would be a hardy Scottish cow, prized for its marbling... 😉

@HelenORahilly @philipnolan1 Your piece about Dougie (hope I have his name right) was the first of yours that appeared in my timeline for I'd say months, Helen. The dismantling of the @X (even the name offends me) system robs us all of the little social media interactions that sustain us.
