Jim Allister either thinks that unionist votes are the only ones that matter or he cannot count as it would have failed under any system. Political unionism is a minority behaving as a ruling class

people keep making movies where the premise is "it's kind of like a man but it looks like a monstrous freak but it's nice and sexy and doesn't abuse the woman so it's basically the most romantic thing ever" and men keep not getting it.

Just to fully underline how spiteful this shit is for those unaware: On the left is the route the Orange Order have been ordered to take for the past 3 decades without trouble. On the right is the route that has brought hundreds of cops to Drumcree. The only motivation is sectarian antagonism.

We need a health minister to put in place stuff to secure an ailing maternity service that delivers 1700-1800 babies annually, from collapse. When Stormont collapses, women delivering on the roadside will be of no concern to those who picked open a 30 year old wound, just to keep feeling important

The thing is they need our misery to keep their vote. Because happiness breeds hope, & the political reps of unionism as far as I can see, promise nothing hopefull, just a dream of a return to a much mourned dominance. 11 people were murdered to get marching this route. 3 children burned to death.

The FAI repeatedly told us players would be protected. Yet when a 24 year old acted on his conscience, they left him to stand alone & used a vote among his teammates to validate their own cowardice. This isn’t protecting a young player, it’s protecting themselves at his expense. #StopTheGame

Three young boys being burnt to death should have shamed the orange order from wanting to march down there again. That’s what is ringing in my ears. It’s a struggle for the exertion of supremacy - no matter the cost.

There are a lot of politicians who look at AI companies breaking the law and think “sure this is bad, but AI might provide us with everything we ever dreamed of, immortality, security, everything!” Then a staffer explains “yes sir, but currently it makes child pornography and hacks companies.”

Screenshot of a Reddit post from r/transgenderUK titled "Excluded from school for supporting a trans girl." A parent describes their daughter, who has Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS), choosing to use the boys' restrooms in solidarity with a trans classmate who was forced to do so, resulting in her being excluded from school.

Govt have little interest in ensuring data centres are powered by renewables. Meanwhile, we're heading towards €28bn in fines if we don't meet emissions targets. Yet the Minister doesn't seem to care. Does he know something that we don't? Or is he just blindly hoping the EU won't follow through?
