Anytime the news is terrible and I start to feel like I’m living in end of times, I remind myself of the medieval people who also thought this.
But I can definitely relate to them.

Maybe the existential dread at the ways of the world wasn’t so existential after all.
I want everyone who has spent years in therapy wondering what is wrong with them, wondering why they had so many bad relationships, why they felt so much dread, to know that it was in part because you were living in a world run by evil, evil people and you could tell that somewhere deep down

Worth remembering that something did happen: the journalist who revealed this died from a car bomb.
remember when the panama papers came out and we found out every rich person on earth was committing tax fraud and then nothing happened

Might we tactfully point out that to obsess negatively with trans people when the richest and most powerful men in the world are trying to reverse centuries of humane progress and equality to acquire impunity for rape and murder shows a weird sense of priorities?

I have spent fifty years rolling my eyes at conspiracy theories where all the elite rich people are in a secret evil gang, and thrillers where everyone remotely important has the same Dark Secret, and now sodding look.

Gotta say, the New York Times narrative on Ukraine consistently takes a negative approach to the country - they seem to be always reporting on imminent collapse. It’s 2026 & an impoverished country of ~38m has held back a Superpower for 4 years.
That’s not imminent collapse, that’s backbone*

We need to get real. Met Éireann is not to blame for flooding damage - poor planning, building on flood plains, not implementing over 20 years of remedial action are. We were warned decades ago winter rain would increase, but continued doing nothing and built on space needed for water #spéirghorm

On Grafton Street, for today only, lies what looks on the outside to be an ordinary flower shop.
Men and women stoppedat the storefront looking to buy a dozen roses for their Valentine.
But on the inside, it isn’t a florist’s at all jrnl.ie/6622859

Watch American companies that *aren't* abandoning their inclusion policies in what must be the face of enormous pressure.
They're worth noting.

The amount of people who describe themselves as politically progressive in Ireland still posting on X is both amazing and depressing. You can google their usernames and see them. Why are they still on a fascist owned site? Especially those in Labour, SocDems and PBP? #IrishPolitics #SpeirGorm
