Delighted with my (provisional) 1st term module results at @uniofgalway.bsky.social
- Cloud Web App Development 86%
- Algorithmics & Logical Methods 74%
- Java Programming 60% - and that’s one’s bloody hard and I thought I’d failed! 😊

Every single day the UK loses £600m because of Brexit.

£600m yesterday, £600m today, £600m tomorrow.

For what?

I used to scratch my head as to how they all allowed the world to go to hell in a handbasket in the 1930s and why not enough was done to prevent it. We all know now.

Special Counsel (Jack Smith’s) report confirms Trump went to “unprecedented criminal effort" to retain power in 2020. Only election in 2024 stopped him being convicted.
So, when Tories say he represents the “rule of law” - just laugh at their sorry immoral arses.

Holy SHIT, Jack Smith gives no more f*cks:

“Mr. Trump's letter claims that dismissal of his criminal cases signifies Mr. Trump's
"complete exoneration…That is false.”

Translation: Trump’s immunity argument is bullshit and he’s GUILTY.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

This is going to continue happening, more frequently and more intensely, as long as industries are allowed to expand unchecked. This is the direct result of Republican climate change denial, and putting greed over the value of human lives.

So Donald Trump is now officially a felon. He's also a rapist, an insurrectionist, a compulsive liar, a narcissist, and a scam artist. He politicized the pandemic. He's politicizing the wildfires. He will continue to do these things as long as he is allowed.

RFK is an absolute DipShit and NUTS he will reintroduce childhood illnesses that had all been mostly wiped out.

Moron parents will bitch when Polio and Smallpox, Rubella, Whopping Cough and god knows what come back due to RFK’s insane policies.

How stupid and gullible Americans have become!
SAD
Over 15,000 doctors have signed a letter imploring the US Senate to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation for Secretary of HHS.

The letter states:

“RFK Jr. is not only unqualified to lead this essential agency — he is actively dangerous.”
