Ah yes, Super GnG is brutally hard. But it looks absolutely gorgeous, one of the SNES's finest games.

David Gray is absolutely shite, awful singing voice and song-writing talent so awful that he rips off his own songs.
Post your most controversial music hot takes.
I hate myself for saying it, but Grateful Dead's Touch Of Grey is actually a good song. I hate everything else they ever did, other than breaking up.

So proud of my father for all the passion, courage,care and vision he brought to the last 14 years as President of Ireland. Both my parents have always been driven by a deep wide love for Ireland & the world, for people, planet & possibilities. Looking forward to their next chapter! #Grá #spiergirm

1/2 One last Michael D memory before his second term as President ends. I last saw him the night he was elected. I have not met him since, never went up to the Aras at all. And that's grand. I don't really approve of party members in the Aras anyway - the President is above party politics.

In Michael D Higgins we have been lucky to have a President for the last 14 years who not only had such a keen appreciation of history but in labour history, not least during the decade of centenaries. It’s easy to take it for granted now but I always thought how easily that might not have been so.

One of the best things I ever did during my time in politics was acting as Director of Elections for MIchael D in 2011 / #Aras11. It was a great honour to be asked to do so by his team and my constituency and I will never forget that time. I wish you well in retirement, Mr President!

It was fascism and race hate that the government of Ireland has refused to address in any meaningful way. These people have been weaponising fire against immigrants for several years.
So it wasn't fireworks. It was a calculated and deliberate attempt at the mass murder of men, women and children.

It is an utter stain on so-called polite society that the GC movement is platformed, legitimised and coddled. They are fundamentalist extremists who want to obliterate an entire class of people just because of who they are. Their entire movement is about destroying existences

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

We're continuing to highlight the work of SWAI. In April 2023, Geila Ibram, a sex worker in Limerick, was murdered.
Along with other sex worker organisations, we held a vigil outside the Department of Justice to highlight the lack of concern about sx workers' safety in Ireland.

Otd in 2012 Savita Halappanavar died after being refused a life-saving abortion in Ireland.
Her death led to huge demonstrations and helped put Ireland on the road to legalisation of abortion in a referendum in 2018. This is the story of that movement:
