Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

I’m not going to pretend it’s easy to say something in the moment when you witness the president do this and you’re aboard Air Force One with all the uniformed officers and secret service and fancy wood accents, but this is really an instance where you should. people.com/donald-trump...

Decided to use public transport tonight. So messy. So unreliable. So infrequent. It’s no bloody wonder people have to use cars. In Any other European city you can hop on and off without thinking and checking. If govt want us out of cars they have to improve this #speirgorm

Wouldn’t grocery shopping be a lot less miserable if we didn’t have to do the endless transferring from shelf to trolley to conveyor to trolley to car, from car to kitchen to fridge? Selection to fridge is the dream!

With 72 hours to go until #Aras25 polling opens, a reminder - old, conservative people vote.
If you want something different to what they want, you need to do the same, and tell everyone you know to do it too.
Make a plan to vote.
Make sure others do too.
Then go vote.
Nothing else matters.

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.”
I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt.
And that’s wrong.

Can someone explain to me why, if there is an international arrest warrant for Netanyahu, how can he stand up and make a speech in the UN, surrounded by security and NOT be arrested?

When Minnesota Democrats were killed by a MAGA terrorist in June, Trump refused to even call Gov of Minn. But with Charlie Kirk, he has praised him non-stop, ordered flags to be lowered and demonized Dems. To Trump, ONLY MAGA lives matter. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-orde...

It’s so jarring to scroll through insta or any platform and witness the situation in Gaza, then with one swipe have someone try to sell me plastic Christmas decorations. What have we come to? What are we allowing to happen? Can our governments stop having cosy meetings and actually do something?

One of the less known aspects about the Easter Rising is that Indian students at UCD also took part & were then deported by the British authorities for it. Among those students was V.V. Giri who became president of India and said “when I am not an Indian, I am an Irishman”
