Bluesky buds outside of Ireland. I realise I'm posting more frequently about Irish politics to the point of potential annoyance. If you want to see less of it I'd recommend muting the terms FFG and #FFG as a start. That'll cover like 90% of my rants. Apologies but we've got some work to do here.

Nope. Animal cruelty is never ok. Sinn Fein supporting bloodsports is just the kinda bad look I'd have thought they would have been trying to avoid.
Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald has doubled down on her party's pro-fox hunting position, despite some internal criticism.

Mary Lou McDonald says Sinn Féin's support of fox hunting is the right choice
The matter will be debated again at the party’s Ard Fheis in April.

Maybe the King might like to donate too? Or maybe the Government could actually implement a fair & managed migration system?

Polio is a devastating disease and Salk’s work developing a free vaccine should never be forgotten.
Seventy years ago, Jonas Salk and his team worked in a lab between a morgue and a darkroom to develop the world’s first successful polio vaccine.
A filmmaker who made a documentary on Salk’s work explains why forgetting life before vaccines has real consequences: buff.ly/VYpqOy4

The world risks forgetting one of humanity’s greatest triumphs as polio nears global eradication − 70 years after Jonas Salk developed the vaccine in a Pittsburgh lab
Polio may finally be defeated in the next 5 years. Will the world recognize what an extraordinary achievement that is?

Gun to my head I wouldn't be able to name a character in Avatar. I haven't even seen all of Star Wars but I know tons of characters through cultural osmosis. It truly is strange.
And yet it’s had virtually no broad cultural impact, which, honestly, I find fascinating
‘AVATAR’ is now the highest grossing movie trilogy of all time
Over $1 billion more than Star Wars

Records from the era are somewhat fragmented , but from what we can gather, the people of the time ritualistically sacrificed a baby every year to the goddess Mariah to bring about the coming of Christmas. Toys, snow, and a stocking were also offered but rejected by the deity as part of the ceremony
