Ireland holds its breath as its leftwing president prepares to meet Trump
Many are rooting for vocal critic Catherine Connolly to let rip in Dublin meeting, but others hope she holds back Ireland’s president, Catherine Connolly, has called Donald Trump abhorrent and an abuser of power. In his sole previous comment on Connolly, the US president seemed to think she was a man. Now that they are about to meet, Ireland is holding its breath. Trump is to fly into Dublin on Saturday morning for a two-day visit centred on golf but, before making it to his beloved greens, protocol obliges him to meet a woman who has given every impression of loathing him.

Cycling the Waterfall Trail at Glenveagh National Park - Heading through the trees with Astelleen Burn Waterfall gradually coming into view. It’s a lovely feeling when you finally come out into the open and get a clear view across the river to the waterfall.

Got tagged in some discourse on the hellsite and let me tell you: 2010s Jezebel, when Lindy worked there, was the preeminent place for beating the shit out of Republicans passing abortion restrictions and for warning that Roe was at risk. They did it alongside everything else
Screenshot of a Matt Yglesias Tweet, quote tweeted by some woman named Emily who I think works for Megyn Kelly
Emily Jashinsky & @emilyjashinsky
X.com
Lindy West is a proxy for elder millennial culture, and the takedowns are really autopsies for something much bigger than her because nobody ever really coped with it. Buzzfeed, Gawker, Jezebel, all gone. Then the country turned against "woke" and Zoomers entered the work force.
Matthew Yglesias & @mattyglesias • 11h
Shouldn't someone have to write the "Lindy West is good and actually right about everything take" in order to justify the volume of takedowns I am seeing?Now some woman is quoting Emily and she wrote “Jezebel fiddled while Roe burned”

joan don'tion @elizabethbelsky • 5h
I would add that I and a lot of younger millennials I know harbor resentment toward the Lindy Wests of the world for the time and words wasted on petty individualistic grievance politics while we lost all right to control our own bodies. Jezebel fiddled while Roe burned.

Die AfD hat in nicht wenigen Wahlbezirken die meisten Stimmen geholt, mit zum Teil über 30%. Dies wäre nun der Zeitpunkt, endlich zu verstehen, dass Rechtsextremismus kein rein ostdeutsches Phänomen ist, sondern die Entwicklung mit Zeitverzögerung und nuanciert (fast) überall ähnlich eintritt #ltwbw

Bezirke sind in verschiedenen Farben eingefärbt: grün für Grüne, blau für AfD, schwarz für CDU und grau für noch keine Ergebnisse. Eine Legende oben rechts ordnet die Farben den Parteien zu. Darüber stehen aktuelle Auszählungsdaten und ein Link mit grünem Text. Die Karte zeigt, dass viele Bezirke grün oder schwarz eingefärbt sind, einige blau, wenige grau. Die Legende unterscheidet zwischen Erst- und Zweitstimmen und listet weitere Parteien und Kategorien auf.

They're stealing the voice of Sinead O'Connor, who risked her own career in 1992 by speaking up about child sexual abuse in the Catholic church, so let's make this theft an occasion to keep talking about Trump in the Epstein files.

Each semester I go in my classroom and I try to figure out what we would use to block the doors, if it would be safe to crawl out the windows, where we could hide if there was a mass shooter in campus. It’s such an indictment of this country how we have normalized these preventable tragedies.

Growing up in Ireland in the 70s and 80s, there were constant reports of injuries caused by 'rubber bullets', baton rounds used by the British. Seeing them being used in the US is chilling. The belief that they are non-lethal means soldiers are more likely to use them. news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news...
