If it’s genuinely reliable public transport, it’s a game changer. As someone who doesn’t drive, the unreliable nature of the services here means I rely on lifts for the most part. This lack of independence is infuriating.

A Hark! A Vagrant classic
Watson: Oooh, what’s that you’ve got?
Franklin: My final report
Watson: Little Rosie Franklin’s research! I bet it’s something!
Franklin: ROSALIND.
Crick: Oh, that’s a big name
W: You’re getting fancy on us! Tell me—
F: Ah. I love this game.
W: Is it a scientific breakthrough in feelings?
F: Well, I suppose I have to go into hysterics or have a baby somewhere, good day gentlemen
W: GO, GO
[W and C slip a look at F’s notes]
C: Nice
W: Quit hogging

Last week Micheál Martin said Netanyahu 'could not give a toss' about Ireland playing Israel in the football. The week before he was speaking in the UN that we need to be doin more about the genocide. He'll be up in Garvaghy with an Irish jersey and a sash next week.

While Millennials and Gen Z blame each other for ruining society, the same monsters that have been ruining society since before we were all born are laughing their asses off. Generational divides are made up, and that’s fine until they’re weaponized to keep us fighting over complete bullshit.

This is true in the sense and to the extent that a lot of right wing grifters are predators who faced consequences for their actions. However this is a lesson about how the right are predators, not about how the left should tolerate or coddle predators.

Liberal "abolitionists" really believe in this absurd binary. There really needs to be a deep accounting for everyone involved in twisting anarchism's "fire to the prisons!" into "the only alternative to prisons is forgiveness and forced silence." (Hint: a fuck ton of Christians were involved.)
