My inner monologue sounds like Dylan Moran.
Imagine presenting someone as an “anti black campaigner” or “anti Deaf campaigner” as if it was a perfectly normal thing. When people say the media have been captured by transphobic bigotry that’s what it means.

When the reckoning comes (and let’s hope it’s not after something truly horrific), Ireland is going to have to come to terms with cosying up to the tech companies that helped break *everything*. Our enabling of their bullshit is in conflict with our self image as a force for good in the world.

Just a generally useful approach to the world. If it’s not you, leave them alone. Make friends if you get on, don’t if you don’t, but jaysus leave everyone alone to be doing their own thing.
Just leave transgender neighbours alone, to get on with their lives.

Looks like making environmental protections *even worse* to appease private profiteers would be just as reckless as it sounds.
The European Court of Justice ruled the concentration of the chemical compound trihalomethanes (THMs) in drinking had persistently exceeded recommended safety limits since at least 2012 while the deadline for compliance had been 2003.
