For younger people, the bastards using bogus non-resident accounts and their banking friends defrauded the state of billions with their scamola.

Carers have said tax information sent out to them by Revenue has left them “frightened” and added more pressure on an already stretched cohort.

Just remembered a ‘petty cash’ scam in a former employment,
More I.O.U.’s than genuine out of pocket expenses. Usually made up with receipts as the office ate batteries and needed lots of photo development.

The chances of Ireland supporters getting a ticket for the World Cup play off semi final in Czechia are slim
In fact it’s a ‘Byte’ sized chance as only 1024 have been allocated for the March 26 clash.

There are no words to describe the contempt I have for this lying, manipulative piece of shit Leavitt. A horrendous human being who will hopefully spend the rest of her sad, empty, wasted life in prison for her complicity in the atrocities of the Trump junta.
Reporter: Renee Good was shot in the head and killed by an ICE Agent.
Leavitt: Why was she killed?
Reporter: Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably
Leavitt: You’re a left-wing hack. You’re not a reporter.

Hundreds of thousands of vile sexualised non-consensual images of women and children have been created by Grok, X’s AI tool.
This isn't just horrifying – it's illegal.
The Govt response to this has been muted and confusing.
When will X be prosecuted?
