I think we can all agree that when it comes to building homes the irish government has achieved sucess in being nowhere near any targets.
“Why is there no annual targets in this plan?”
“Because we are focused on activation,” Minister for Housing James Browne says.
“We want to get away from yearly targets,” he adds.

If there is one kind of show I would love to work on more than anything else its a western equivelent of a Tokusatsu.
The costuming, the design, the flat incongruity with any sense of reality but everything not built for the show clashing as a found location does with hand made props.

If you were a liberal in the 80s, but never updated your views you are probably right wing now.
E.g. Bill Maher
I think what frustraites me more about the Orville than anything else is that by doing elder liberal Star Trek they have properly killed Treks ability to come back to its own space.
