The recent video by @patrickhwillems.bsky.social about Legacy Sequels is quite interesting, and far less excoriating about the phenomenon than I had expected.
In light of this, I'm going to hammer out a thread of the Legacy Sequels I *ACTUALLY* want Hollywood to make.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

For any Irish housing plan to succeed, point number one on it has to be getting FF and FG out of government, and point number two, keeping them out for as long as is humanly possible.
They have failed. They will never succeed. Time to give someone else a chance.

Sinn Féin's housing spokesperson Eoin Ó Broin did not hold back in his blistering criticism of the Government's long-delayed housing plan during Leaders' Questions today.
