I think one reason Joyce Carol Oates gets to yer man so much is he knows she is something he yearns to be, but can never achieve (even after buying the whole website and manipulating it into his own personal far right propaganda machine). She is a true poster. Born to do it

Things that make people like Rumours: 1) the songs 2) Stevie & Lindsay decades long situationship 3) Christine McVie writing a song about how fun her affair was and making her ex play it for 50 years 4) that they’d give them a bottle cap of coke while recording and no more until they finished a song

Just saw a post about how Eric Adams is still on the ballot for NYC mayor and the urge to make a Jim Gavin joke that no Americans would understand is almost too strong

Made the mistake of reading that O’Connor column which was as idiotic as one would expect but this bit is exceptionally dense

So it wasn't fireworks. It was a calculated and deliberate attempt at the mass murder of men, women and children.

Right wing dickheads want you afraid of foreign criminals coming in, putting "our women and children" at risk, meanwhile this is what they're doing to women and children
Firefighters rescued five people, including three children under ten, from the top floor of an Ipas centre in Drogheda last night after a major fire.
Gardaí have preserved the scene while the cause of the blaze is investigated.

Strongest condemnation from a local politician so far coming from Labour's Ged Nash - underlining how close we may have been to having several lives lost in Drogheda overnight as a result of this attack.

Tolerance for behavior like Platner’s is tied to a wrongheaded theory of the male working class. Zohran Mamdani illustrates a different path

It would be better if more people voted, but I think minimising support for a candidate who was very comfortably elected, by linking it to the overall electorate, is a dodgy road that inches toward delegitimising all election results

The fundamental thing with the presidential nomination process is that if there was a true groundswell of support for a particular kind of candidate, there would already be enough of that kind of TD elected to nominate them

Tallied a box in Dublin Central where spoiled votes came out ahead of Catherine Connolly and the constant refrain of the maddest things you see on Twitter was notable and distressing
The number of spoiled votes suggests that we have a huge misinformation-led mental health crisis in this country. A lot of these people are clearly very unwell and the far right have swooped in to take advantage. They’re going to spiral further until the government takes the issue seriously
