“In fairness, we also seem to believe that over one-in-three Irish people are accessing social housing compared to the real figure of 9.2%, which begs the question: how much social housing do these people think that Ireland has?”

hades is a bit behind the times, ferryman is a gender neutral title
![Four panel comic entitled SHARON THE FERRYMAN [Sharon is spelled with an S]. The first panel is an intro box showing Sharon's head (a skull with blonde hair) gossiping (text below).
The second panel shows Sharon asking, "So, you going anywhere nice on your holidays, love?"
The third shows her steering a bright pink boat across the river Styx, screaming heads with styled hair on bow and stern, ferrying someone with a neutral expression using a pole with a hairdryer on top. The boat reads "Sharon's Styx Styles". The background is dark.
In the fourth panel it zooms in again on Sharon's head, saying, "Oh right, yeah. Land of the dead."
Gossip text in box 1: "Goodness, you would not guess who came in the other day? Zeus, right down from Olympus. And no sooner had he gone than Hera stormed in, holding a dead swan and [text obscured] anyone had seen her husband [text obscured] I just couldn't be getting"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:etrkmhfuemkxzd32uixdgyt6/bafkreihvlzrbti7jvd272by7lgowyojexgmdlkwppbyot3kl2hgriv2h4e@jpeg)

Going on one of my son's school trips reminded me that my dad never, ever did the same. So I called him up to ask why and don't know what else I expected.

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

"You will be haunted," resumed the Ghost, "by Three Spirits."
Scrooge's countenance fell almost as low as the Ghost's had done.
"So you and two others, Jacob?" he demanded, in a faltering voice.
"No. Three more."
"So four spirits" said Scrooge.

It has taken Patrick's ma nearly 6 decades to get an apology from the State for the murder of her child. They don't class it as murder and no one who ordered this or took part in it has, or will be prosecuted. Patrick's mother is 88 and was too ill to hear the apology

In Aug 1969 the Royal Ulster Constabulary sent 3 armoured vehicles into the mostly catholic Divis Flats. They opened fire on 13 homes there with heavy-duty vehicle-mounted machine guns. Patrick's mother took her kids to the back of her flat to protect them, Patrick was killed in front of his family.
The PSNI has apologised to the family of Patrick Rooney, the first child killed in the Troubles.
The family will also receive "significant compensation," the High Court in Belfast heard this morning.
