The Ombudsman for the Children’s Office has pushed back on the idea of a social media ban for under 16s. The measure had been floated by figures including the Tánaiste, following the introduction of a similar ban in Australia.

One in four employees self-identify as neurodivergent, according to new research from DCU | Institute of Education
Small changes by employers have large impact on wellbeing of neurodivergent and neuromajority employees

If you hold a degree from an Israeli university, you can work in Israel's education system.

If you hold a degree from a Palestinian university, you are banned from working in Israel's education system.

Not so complicated after all. It's called apartheid.

Indonesia is the first country to block access to xAI’s Grok due to its ability to generate CSAM and deepfake porn.

It’s quite disappointing that this is the only meaningful action that’s been taken after several days of this issue coming to light.

We are literally talking about death squads.

Why is it so insane to suggest abolishing them?

Stand By Me was a film that made me realise I was different*, but not alone.

I'd come home from school for lunch and watch 30 mins every day* and when it was over, I'd rewind the VHS tape and start over.

I can still quote the whole film.

*This behaviour helped diagnose my autism.

Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card.

Every Christmas I say to myself "The lyrics to Feed the World can't be as bad as I remember. Surely."

Reader, they are far worse!

I mean, there is stiff competition for the worst lyric in the song, but this is a real clanger:

"where nothing ever grows".

There is no medical reason what so ever. It is an obstruction to timely healthcare, and forced people out of the legal time period for abortion, at home here in Ireland.

#Abortionishealthcare #Spéirgorm #repealedthe8th
There is "no scientific support" for a mandatory waiting period for abortions in Ireland, according to the chief medical director of the Irish Family Planning Association (IFPA).

'No scientific support' for mandatory abortion waiting period, IFPA says
The Irish Family Planning Association found that between 2021 and 2024, 98% of IFPA clients went on to access abortion services after the waiting period.

Actually the problem is that the wealthy have convinced working people that we can solve the problems through charity, recycling, volunteering etc.

When taxing assets or earnings of anyone over €10 million* at 95% (including kings) would pretty much sort it.

*This amount is the real debate.
