Because it’s in the news again I need ye to know that the Finnish baby box is just a very nice perk in a system designed to take excellent care of pregnant people, their partners and babies. The box is a nice thing but it’s the system that is the real gift!

Once again, if you believe that FF&FG would only love to give us a well-resourced, world beating welfare state but it’s just those pesky immigrants won’t let them, you are a gobshite. You have a loyalty card with your local bridge salesman. You were, in fact, born yesterday.

Saying that the European Convention on Human Rights has gone too far is like saying that seat belts have gone too far.

When I say I hope to have my affairs in order before I die, I mean have a slew of absolute sick burns ready to publish on the death of terrible men who outlive me.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

We already had a referendum to make it easier to get on the ballot! Lowering the age limit for a candidate from 35 to 21! It was rejected! That was only ten years ago! Are we all going crazy?!
