I do really think it's a problem that Martin got a 5 year mandate and immediately regressed to the mental age of 14 during the most fraught geopolitical period of the 21st century so far.
The exchange between the Taoiseach and the Sinn Féin leader prompted Ceann Comhairle Verona Murphy to appeal for a "respectful" debate, given that the visitors' gallery was full.

The problem with the David Quinn thing here is there are in fact many orders of nuns doing good work (in Cork, the Nano Nagle centre) and it is reported as such. The problem tis they are doing Woke things like helping migrants when what he wants is just to import culture wars.

Someone snuck a lettuce into my shopping trolley and I didn't cop until I unearthed it in my own kitchen. I've never felt casually violated in my life.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is brilliant because it dares to ask “what if we made a Game of Thrones series that isn’t mostly a grim and joyless slog?”

This is such a girl way of saying I hate those bitches
Jesy Nelson talks to The Sun about reuniting with former Little Mix bandmates:
“We’re all moms now and I can’t speak on behalf of them, but I’d like to think that we probably see things a lot differently now. I think you do, just as you get older anyway, but you know, never say never.“

FF & FG have had literally over 100 unbroken years of governance to do something. Yet they constantly act like they popped into existence five minutes ago and throw a strop if you suggest otherwise. Refuse to govern, refuse to take responsibility, refuse to do anything except say "DONT BLAME ME"

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?
