Ah, I see FFG are trying to do the "High Vis and Helmets are going to be mandatory for pedal cyclists" authoritarian bullshit again. 🙃
A high vis vest wont make me more visible to drivers, but a trans pride flag cape would make me more visible and rapidly increase the likelihood that "fellow" motorists would murder me.

Oh gawd 🤮🤮🤮
#LisaNandy told #BBC R4 Today: "I think there will be two things that will be different under Andy #Burnham.
"The first is that it will be faster and bolder, and he's willing to think very differently about how we deliver that change.
...
"The second thing that will be different is we will wear our hearts on our sleeves more."Quote from https://archive.is/Lrttv
It's as vapid as when #SimonHarris became #Taoiseach in 2024 promising "a new energy". 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Can a mere 484 submissions really be considered a success in 21st-century democracy? Personally I think that's quite a derisory level of engagement.

#PatLeahy is political ed of The #IrishTimes. His 1st paid job was at #ThePhoenix. So can Pat explain its demise? https://archive.is/CILA6
Pat says The Phoenix was redundant. It had exposed corruption, but tribunals & laws ended corruption.
Bollix! The Galway Tent ended. In came mega-scandals of neoliberalism. In 2013, the FG-Lab govt handed Irish housing to vulture funds, & tried privatising water. More muck than ever. But now its neoliberal muck, and the Irish Times is neoliberal. 🤮

Using public money to buy services from a company your own staff had founded might well generate an expectation that an apology wouldn't suffice in other contexts...

#Rapist #JeffreyDonaldson is in prison. The former #DUP leader was convicted of all 18 sexual offences he was charged with, and will be sentenced in September. His wife Eleanor faced only a "trial of the facts", but all charges were upheld.
Sexual abuse by powerful men is an all-Ireland problem. It's a scandal that yet again, justice has been delayed by decades. 😡
This isn't just one wicked criminal, or one party. It's an all-Ireland cultural failure.

Long overdue that this pointless, insulting, and misogynistic three-day wait requirement is gone.
"Dáil votes to remove three-day wait for women seeking abortion"

Heartbroken by closure of satirical/investigative magazine The Phoenix. After 42 years, it is a huge loss to Irish journalism, politics and culture.
#PhoenixMagazine was often compared to #PrivateEye. It had a similar mix of satire & investigation, but #ThePhoenix was more serious and was spared the Eye's English public school boy humour.

114 years ago today, #suffragette Hanna Sheehy-Skeffington smashed some windows at #DublinCastle, while campaigning for votes for women.
8 years ago today, President #MichaelDHiggins unveiled this plaque to the window-smashing. https://president.ie/en/diary/details/president-unveils-a-plaque-acknowledging-irish-suffragettes
I am proud to be a citizen of a country that commemorates window-smashing. ❤️

A 5th man is now ready for the 2026 #LabourParty leader contest: #AlCarns, just resigned as junior minister. Al is a Tory voter who waas parachuted into a safe Labour seat in May 2024.
Al is a veteran of the British imperialist school of slow learners. His career was mostly in the 4th failed British invasion of #Afghanistan. His focus now is making it hard to prosecute Brit soldiers who killed #Irish civilians.
Carns is basically a 19th century Tory. The media ❤️❤️ him. 🤮
