I genuinely do not see why it us done other than it's awkward to say no to well meaning campaigners who probably lost a loved one to the thing the law targets

This is the thing, and maybe it's a poorly written law that won't be applied properly as a result! But the heartstrings!

I also find it tacky and spiritually American but that's neither here nor there

Is it controversial to say that I don't think we should be naming laws after real people in Ireland, is that not a bit overly sentimental for something like a law that should be cut and dry and unexciting

On the topic of empties I really like this and have used it for a couple of years now BUT I have since found my Holy Grail skin tint (Sculpted by Aimee) I will indeed be cutting it open with a scissors to use the last little bit

Fred and Daphne are preening, fame-hungry bimbos and obviously Shaggy and Scooby get dragged along for the ride. But Velma? Velma is a cop down to her damn bones. ACAB should include Velma, unless she learns to stop being such a fuckin narc

This is good! I looked it up after hearing Aoife Barry on @fortechssakepod.bsky.social and I'm glad I did, I think it was well organised and laid out, and as always I like when something is by and for my exact demographic (and references Irish twitter canon)

You know what maybe it is pro-aristocracy propaganda but it was very good nonetheless, I really dug this. As an islander it is easy to forget how changeable those mainland borders and national identities are generation to generation, this presented that really well

One thing I can't listen to is adults complaining about household things their mas do. Move out then. Move into the sewers and I'm sure no one will wake you hoovering.

Whatever your feelings towards the pope, it is very funny to think saying "no one elected you" is a big gotcha to a fella whose election was a massive big deal to a whole global religion and beyond
