I like having a president who is outspoken and opinionated.
Especially when they speak out in defense of the vulnerable, the oppressed, and the marginalised.
That's the kind of president that everyone deserves!

The commentators talk about the team asking difficult questions.
In my mind the difficult questions are things like: How many cans of 7UP can fit in a standard sized double decker bus?

If the US government aren't spending any money during the shutdown, does that mean they also suspend applying any taxes?

We’re launching a bold plan to make high-speed rail the fastest, more sustainable way to travel across Europe by 2040.
It’s a concrete timeline to remove bottlenecks, unlock investment, and harmonise rail systems ⬇️

Just been watching the film When Harry met Sally, and I'm minded now to go take my wife to a New Year's Eve ball. But I'm not sure if anywhere does that kind of thing anymore.

The attack in Drogheda is shocking, but not surprising. This government ignoring right wing violence has led us here, and without meaningful response will only lead to deaths

St Vincent's Private hospital has a newly opened Emergency Department. Although it's not like EDs in public hospitals. It's only for people with a referral from their GP, is by appointment only (no walk ins), treats a limited range of conditions, and only operates 8-5 Mon to Fri.

I'm watching the film Lost In Translation. Don't think I've ever seen it before, despite it being 22 years old (people fax each other). It's reinforcing the idea that I want to visit Japan!
