The Winter Olympics montages on the BBC have been awful. Whoever is blending Italian opera with over excited Brit commentators, it’s a head splitting cacophony.

Scratch the surface and it’s such a stupid question and scary answer. You can be ‘anti’ Putin and Russian foreign policy yet still respect and like the place for a whole host of reasons and be sad about its current state.
2024 Reform UK voters are also less likely to describe themselves as anti-Russia (48%) than other voters (66-79%)

We had them beaten but when we hit the post late on you kind of knew something would happen. Biggest disappointment was the player brought in for experience making the error.
#DundalkFC take a point on the road, but will feel it should have been 3 against a lacklustre #DerryCity who benefit from a injury time peno in a game in which the Lilywhites looked comfortable. A good return to the top flight or will Kilduff be demanding more? #CMonTheTown

This ‘independence movement’ should be a lot more about decoupling from American tech asap with genuine alternatives for consumers and a lot less about buying weapons.
We are living through a time of upheaval.
So the Munich Security Conference has never been more relevant.
2025 was the year old certainties fell away.
2026 is the year we confront reality.
I’m here to talk about Europe’s independence moment.

The last time I applied for a position at work was 11 years ago. It was not long after my father in law had died of cancer, one month before his retirement. I spent the interview saying my career goals were to not give any of my time away for free nor to waste any of it getting stressed about work.
15 years of experience, applying for a senior position, get nervous, psyche myself out, and answer a question not just wrong but wrong in a way a high schooler wouldn't fuck up. i don't even want the position anymore because i know my boss would think "what a fuckin idiot" whenever he sees me

Nama Wine Lake? I followed him years ago on Twitter until he posted something along the lines of forcing all Syrian regugees to North Africa rather than let them into Europe. An og of the tedious graph-guy sociopaths.
NWL is the bitchmade coward of all bitchmade cowards, spends every free second on X going after anyone he doesn't like with personal attacks, insinuating they serve secret or corrupt agendas, and accusing others of a lack of transparency, while hiding from any accountability for himself

I believe your one here is called Polly Billington. If someone pulled a 'what you're saying is' as dumb as this in a work canteen everyone would fall about laughing and she's representing their government on national television doing it.

It's actually a bit of a problem when the leader of the country repeatedly loses his rag and turns into a sneering, snivelling wreck under basic questioning.
The exchange between the Taoiseach and the Sinn Féin leader prompted Ceann Comhairle Verona Murphy to appeal for a "respectful" debate, given that the visitors' gallery was full.

The biggest drawback from switching from iphone to Fairphone on e/OS appears to be that you're taking a bit of a chance on the banking apps and if you like apple pay/wallet, you'll end up trying to use google pay on an OS that it doesn't control so can be stroppy about.
Does anyone know if Irish apps like banking and Revenue work on a Fairphone 6 using Murena/e/OS?
