Here are the Irish MEPs who just sided with the far-right (fascists, racists, sexists, homophobes, climate deniers) from across the EU
They've voted to gut protections that would have made businesses check and report their supply chains for child labour, human rights abuse or nature destruction

You see a lot of older people moaning like a parliament of owls (who, who) about music these days. They are missing out. This album is really something special.
Rosalía's Lux is quite the album isn't it.

Giving the second episode of #GameOfWool a go. Holger I really feel you. Feel bad for the contestants, I’ve been knitting and crocheting a long time and don’t know many people who do both to the same degree. Most are much more comfortable at one of them.

It’s difficult to underestimate the extra burden that this is placing on our public libraries. For example, on a daily basis library workers are now filling the in-person/human service gap that billion euro banking institutions have abdicated from to maximise their profit margins.

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

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all
