Never I have ever wanted to violate an NDA more than with this Planet Tech V5 Tech Preview. Even with the usual early EVO issues this is absolutely amazing. Can't wait for it to hit public builds, Nyx I is going to be a popular spot. #StarCitizen

Given that Irish government TDs have cited Sweden's decision to introduce a language test for citizenship as justification for Ireland introducing one, it seems relevant that Sweden is finding it difficult to actually do it

20,000 secondary school teachers are starting industrial action next week because the government refuse to pay them properly but sure let’s spend €300m on training people to use the fraud machine that turns your brain to porridge

Hey so in case you don't want to do the math, I've got you. 0.00006934% That's how much 150000 is of Zuck's estimated between worth of 254.4 billion.

I mean I could also give a euro to my local clubs over the course of 2 years and would have given away a significantly greater proportion of my wealth than Zuck has done here

I would urge people to recall, as we hear the government justify their choices in the coming budget, that long before the fuel protests, this govermment gave a massive and economically unjustifiable VAT cut to hospitality, which cost more than half of what an additional child benefit payment would

Ireland will go the same way if the gov doesn't get a hold of the narrative that immigrants work, pay taxes and spend their money in the communities they live in. They are allowing the conversation to be hijacked by a bunch of lumpen do-nothings who want everyone dragged down to their level

With respect, Abeba, if we don’t allow big tech to consume all of our resources and dominate our economic model, how are we supposed to pay-off voters with “budget goodies” so as to distract them from the slow decline of social cohesion?

“None of this is truly about citizenship. It’s about O’Callaghan projecting himself as a future leader by looking tough on immigration. He’s throwing shapes – at the expense of decent people and families who are already part of the fabric of Irish life.“

The international chess Federation banned trans women from playing women's chess. CHESS. It's not about fairness. The fairness argument is intended to radicalize people into more violent forms of transphobia.

it's two things, to me: 1) trans rights matter because trans people matter and deserve rights, not just because failing to stand for trans rights is a bellwether for inauthentic progressivism more broadly 2) if you can't be trusted on trans rights you can't be trusted on anything

Only 71,850 people have registered to vote in the new Higher Education constituency for the Seanad, despite a potential electorate of between 800,000 and 1,000,000 graduates. The unified 6-seater is open to graduates of over 80 higher level institutions, not just the historic TCD and NUI.

The Irish government has an annoying habit of introducing stupid bad laws to pander to tiny vocal minority. Forcing people who are within spitting distance of getting citizenship to wait another 3 years is pointless and cruel. The language test rubbish is performative rubbish pandering to the right
