One of my closest friends is a trans woman, tomorrow she marries the love of her life, a cis lesbian, in a registry office then we get to go to lunch and get pie-eyed. Sometimes I forget what a big deal it was that Ireland voted for equal marriage, then something like this reminds me. We did OK.

Insane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved. Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.* Details in today's newsletter: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-s...

Researchers used electric stoves to treat asthma. It worked.

The latest evidence that gas is bad for your health.

If scooters are to be banned for unde 18 year olds, why not the *more* dangerous and able to transport even larger volume of drugs, the car?

Redevelop Shelbourne Park Greyhound Stadium. There are dozens of potential better uses for such prime land. That land is too valuable right beside the Aviva for that bad of an attendance in the mere hundreds on a raw commercial basis, never mind even getting started on the Greyhound thing overall.

“I am the most verbally and physically attacked public figure or politician of modern times.” The disgraceful Nigel Farage. Remembering Labour MP Jo Cox, born 1974, murdered 2016.

A man who publicly was doing something which, when done wrong, can cause graft-vs-host disease, an autoimmune disease which can attack, among other things, your GI tract, now has an autoimmune disease which is attacking his GI tract. What a coincidence.

Blood transfusions from close relatives can cause graft vs host disease. Close relatives are literally the last people in the world rich weirdos should be roping into their creepy vampire hobby.

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

I dunno, feels like we should be paying more attention to Mamdani rather than what the English are up to.

Are there lessons for Ireland from Andy Burnham’s Manchester?

Tonight, there was a suspected arson attack on the mosque in the city centre. This is by far not the first incident of this kind to happen here. Ireland has an increasing problem with people of colour existing. Simple as. www.independent.ie/irish-news/d...

I’m crying

In October 2023, the DUP did something which at the time was exceedingly odd. Now it appears positively sinister. At its heart: Jeffrey Donaldson secretly sought to retain a law which could have hidden his identity when police began investigating his rape.

The heatwave in western Europe is the most severe and widespread ever, with almost half of Europe’s largest cities experiencing their worst ever heat stress, a combination of high temperatures and humidity. Unless we stop burning fossil fuels, future heat conditions will become even more extreme.

European heatwave is worst ever and impossible without climate crisis, scientists say

Study also finds high humidity means people in hundreds of cities are enduring their worst ever heat stress

JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."

I still chuckle that US "Socialists" call themselves that on the back of essentially old school Fianna Fail parish pump localism, fixing the roads, supporting the local sports team, and providing state services. They're not exactly suggesting a nationalization of data centers that's for sure.

This is basically my nightmare for our society

Can confirm that no trouble is expected this evening in Belfast after Jeffrey Donaldson was found guilty of raping and sexually assaulting two children.

I wonder is Belfast bracing for more disturbances this evening or is this verdict different somehow?

Kier going out by saying he inherited a party that was “politically, financially and morally bankrupt” is so incredibly in character for a man who seemed determined at every turn to alienate the people who might actually vote for his party

Peadar Toibín doesn't give a fuck about women's welfare. And how RTE keep trotting him out like he's some majority spokesperson when he's just a very loud mouthpiece of a tiny right wing minority.

My only critique of this is it should be banned for secondary level also, at a minimum. School is for the act of learning, not efficiently hitting a test percentage. www.reuters.com/technology/n...
