Blue plaques on the side of a building in Waterford. It reads Raymond T Chandler. Crime Writer. 1888-1959, Creator of Fictional Detective Philip Marlowe, resided with his uncle in this house in his childhood.

Since all local papers online are on the the same hellscape website format, I’m not surprised that nobodies noticed. Unreadable.

‘If I’d followed the cow when the last two shots went off I’d have lost my sight or have been killed’

How is this not national news??? Innocent man shot 8 times while tending his animals. Attacker gets a suspended sentence and has the huff that he now has a conviction. The effer should be doing life for attempted murder!! m.independent.ie/farming/news...

A farmer shot by his drunken neighbour has said he will never forget the pain and that his attacker deliberately aimed at his head.

I have started a starter pack... all the posters I could find who are Irish, based in Ireland or posting about Irish stuff. Maybe a vain attempt to recreate some of the buzz of Irish 'other site'. It's not meant to be exclusive! Let me know if you want to be added! go.bsky.app/Mh5ihbM

Dems should have run Obama again. If a convicted felon could run, a third term would’ve been ok

Damn right. No one was calling for Ginsburg to step aside and she had served much longer and was much older. What’s the difference between 6-3 and 7-2 anyway? Alito and Thomas will retire. That’s the court sown up til 2060 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Bernie Sanders says he opposes urging Justice Sonia Sotomayor to step down

Senator says he doesn’t support calling for justice to retire so that Biden can pick replacement before his term ends

He might as well join 4chan or some other cesspit and try to change minds if that is his argument

Yeah, well, maybe if Biden hadn’t been passed over in 2016, none of this would’ve happened. Maybe there are a hundred different reasons for a Party failing to trounce their rival whose only platform is to make the poor poorer. But yeah, pin it on one guy.

Plenty of pundits are telling us “cheer up, Trump’s all hot air. He doesn’t really mean it.” History is littered with such self-deceptions, and they don’t age well. In fact, these confident chin-strokers have often proved to be a major part of the problem.

Here in Ireland, local mayors held great local power, more power than the local TD’s. In the late 70’s the ruling party gutted local funding and ended the mayors as rivals. Ever since there has been an ‘us and them’ relationship with Government. Numerous referendums rejected to ‘stick it’ to Dublin.

Logging on to X and saying "I'm taking the fight to the enemy" is akin to waltzing up to the slot machines in the Bellagio and claiming you're going to take down Blackstone Group. Everyone needs to get a grip.
