In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."
Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women"
The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

Sentimental Value is now streaming on MUBI. I loved this film. There are some amazing movies on there and they've an offer of €1 for 3 months. It looks like it going to rain for at least the next 37 years so it might be a good time to treat yourself.

Do the FAI think that the likes of Spain and Norway would stand by and allow UEFA to unilaterally punish Ireland for not playing Israel? It seems just as likely that a principled move would crystallise the concerns of other countries and force things to a head.

We shouldn't play Israel.
Its not complicated, the FAI rightly called for Israel to be banned from FIFA, we have a chance to walk the walk. Refuse to play.

I've written about this phenomenon in my column quite a lot and spoken about it regularly on the @louisemcsharry.bsky.social podcast and if I'm being totally honest at this point I think it's being done specifically to bait me.
Today, Paul Murphy said that the Government are afraid to stand up to big tech, and Micheál Martin replied "How dare you? Who the hell do you think you are? That is a reprehensible assertion."
You can gauge how true an accusation is by how flowery they get in the language of their rebuttal.
You find the idea that you're a top-down person "repugnant"? You're not just saying it's untrue, you're calling it out as REPUGNANT?
I'm afraid that makes it an extremely accurate accusation.

Same as before: Sports’ governing bodies should set policies based on good science and a spirit of inclusion, not the opinions of lunatics who only care about sport as a wedge issue to bully trans people out of society

This is a great example of what Marx called "the vampire thirst for the living blood of labour."
Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."
