It has been so hot here that I haven't been able to enjoy a measly miserly mere cup of tea in weeks and I am so ratty about it

Eoin Ó Broin guessed right but he's disqualified for literally writing a book about social housing that's an unfair advantage

Stop saying "log into a portal." Sounds way too cool for what's happening.
People talk a lot about the causes of declining birth rates, but it's really simple. People used to need enough kids to put on a touring Shakespeare production - maybe six, even eight. But with the rising popularity of Samuel Beckett? Two is sufficient.
One of the guards is a reply guy who assures you he would never do the thing you’re venting about and the other one is a reply guy who jokingly does the thing you’re venting about; choose how you proceed
Films as war propaganda I am well versed in, same for copaganda, but I had no idea Postal Service propaganda was also a genre (I'm watching The Postman, 1997)

You've to be careful listening to folk music on autoplay because before you know it you're after listening to The Foggy Dew with different lyrics twenty times in a row

We’ve just rented a projector so the kids can watch some films over August and we’re trying to source and buy treats and snacks. Ionad Hind Rajab is about more than education. It’s about getting back a little bit of childhood. 👇

Maybe there is something wrong with Dubs but I DO want to know what school/s Madra Salach went to
Biggest day in a while for the "actually it's ephebophilia" community all the same.
New red flag identified: if men who have never met someone are calling him "a true gentleman" I just know he does be baiting women and children
Wow people really losing their minds in Rosemary McCabe's comments, fair play to her
it’s amazing that there are ostensibly famous British people i never know about until they die and are remembered as a pedophile
Why even ask me if I want to stay signed in at this stage. You will ask me for this bastard password tomorrow we both know it.

I can't help but say "Who ran away and left his wife for a young one" out loud after hearing Rod Little's name. It's like resisting saying "and also with you" in Mass.
Crazy how every now and then some English media darling I'm vaguely aware of will die and their celebrated legacy will be that they spent like 40 years writing headlines like this for papers called The Weekend Paedophile or Daily Nonce or something

Apropos of nothing I hope Eamonn Dunphy is having a great day.
The thing about saying "look if he was an actual paedophile and an actual rapist and actually jumped out of bushes to attack women, I'd be outraged and would condemn him, but he's only like a level 2 or 3 of those things so I can't" is that I don't believe you
A lot to be said for not weighing in on things when more eloquent people are already talking
That "men should be allowed, without judgement or consequence, to do an amount of harm to women and girls that I personally deem acceptable" seems to be a genuine opinion still held by too many people in the year two thousand and twenty six is incredibly grim
Something fun and casual to say when someone dismays you is a good "yeah, yeah" on an inhale followed by "and look you'll answer for that in the beyond"
Ariana Grande is so clearly unwell and I hope to god she can recover but my GOD a lot of the little cops posting about her are acting like this is a crime she is committing against them personally?? some people should not have been trusted with the word "accountability" jesus christ
