My favorite part of any General Election is some Virgin one correspondent watching the live count with the fragile patience of a parent who has been told they have to let their child work out their maths homework on their own.

Trump despises the EU, he has historically backed the UK’s departure from the EU, notably during his first term when he praised Brexit saying it would be a "great thing" for Britain. Comprehensive reasons or what?

I hate to do this because the @thejournal.ie is my preferred news site, and is usually good.
This is bad reporting devoid of context. It just parrots the talking points of Lowry with little critique. It's effectively native advertising. See the same story done right in next post. 1/2 #spéirgorm
Opposition were 'juvenile' and 'took a trouncing' during speaking rights row, Michael Lowry says
In a scathing statement last night, Lowry said that the opposition ‘took a trouncing’ yesterday.

"Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks."

Okay, #spéirgorm #irishsky. Storm Éowyn. It worried me. If the big cold had come after, rather than before, we'd've had people freezing to death in their own homes.

I emailed my county councillors today over my concerns about our local community being underprepared for extreme weather events.

Image of Carrie Fisher as a religious icon. She is giving the middle finger & holding a pug. It is a glorious modern reimagining of an archetypal image that lends itself to these disturbing times.

May the Force be with you!

It is a good time to remember that human history has been most defined not by progress but by struggle, and our job is to find our place in the struggle, not lament that we cannot enjoy a life of luxury — for this never was, and never will be, what it means to be fully alive.

Why do people keep following me?
With zero engagement? I'm not on any starter pack, I rarely post here and I am not well known.
I even spent an evening deleting followers that I knew didn't know me but the next day I had as many followers again!!
Is it a numbers game? Bots?
