The Taoiseach has been abroad this week. Never underestimate the power of Abroad to shape a politician's perspective. He grows statesmanlike, and rises above the petty concerns of domestic politics. He gives the press a quote or two. Then he comes home and wonders why everyone's cross with him.

Good thread, built on a good week's journalism on this story

This is the 'engagement' that the Irish government has been using to justify remaining on X. These are the top replies to a randomly chosen recent post.

Very real possibility that our politicians have been vastly overestimating the number of fascist freaks in the country, which would actually explain a lot

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

I'm going to suggest that it's no coincidence the first ICE murder occurs in the midst of the imperialist, "we do what we want around here" crowing about the Maduro kidnapping. The whole movement is high on unaccountable power and the footsoldiers are thinking it's time they got a taste of it

I got off Twitter about 2 and a half years ago and even when I was still on it I managed my feed to avoid Nazi exposure. But I don't deny that it did bad things to my thought processes. Anyone still on it now is giving themselves brain damage.

This is all very well but now we need a taxonomy. Need to buy an oddly shaped light bulb? That's an errand, yo. Transitioning to a new procurement platform? You're in project country. Recovering an amulet of some sort, to free the townspeople from an ogre? We questin'.
