Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030. That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.

It’s been five years since Alex Jones lost InfoWars to the Sandy Hook families. As the verdict came down, he asked: “Do these people actually believe they’re getting any money?” He hasn't paid them a penny. Well, The Onion is going pay them anyway. The new InfoWars begins July 2nd at 8 p.m. ET.

The Onion says it won’t wait for the courts, will launch Infowars to pay Sandy Hook families
The Onion’s staff is tired of waiting for the courts to settle its pending takeover of Alex Jones’ brand, so the new Infowars will launch next month.

News: The Onion is launching the new Infowars July 2. After years of legal wrangling and months of maneuvering by Alex Jones's lawyers to block its takeover, the Sandy Hook families are finally getting their first check... from The Onion. www.ms.now/news/onion-s...

"Time marks" should read "pine martens," which is completely obvious in context. Looks like RTE Kids content is transcribed by AI, edited by AI & published, without ever passing before a human eye. This is supposed to be educational content (& what it's teaching is kids is "ah fuck it, it'll do.")
"They're very good at surviving in parks and where red squirrels aren't so happy. And so, in Belfast and In Dublin in particular, we've got very, very dense grey squirrel populations, and that's a place that time marks just aren't going to get into. They're not going to get into urban areas. It's not a case of the grey squirrels just disappearing altogether. But in the countryside, across most of the middle of Ireland, we've seen a huge reversal of fortunes."

I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.
David Attenborough and one of his creations.

The Muslim Sisters of Éire will not be able to provide their much appreciated soup run to folks in need due to the protest and the blocking of O’Connell Street. "This is especially difficult given that we have been running this service outside the GPO for 11 years."
Due to the protest and the blocking of O’Connell Street, we are unfortunately unable to access the GPO tomorrow evening.
We have made every effort to contact the organisers but have not been able to reach a lead contact. We have also spoken with the Gardaí, who currently do not have further information.
With great sadness, we have to cancel tomorrow’s soup run, as we rely on access for our transit van and six cars. This is especially difficult given that we have been running this service outside the GPO for 11 years.
We want to make it clear that we fully support the protest and understand the importance of standing up for change. We are also deeply concerned about the rising fuel costs and the lack of timely action.
We hope that by next week we will have more information or be able to coordinate access so we can continue providing this vital service.
Thank you for your understanding, and we stand with you.
