Whatever about the implications of it all, saying "I'll learn Irish if I become president" is objectively a very funny line. Amazing they continue to run with it.

a reminder, as Naoise Ó Cearúil defends building more and more data centres on #TonightVMTV, that he thinks there's no conflict of interest in sitting on the Oireachtas AI committee while he holds shares in an AI company

AI committee FF TD has stock in IDF-vet-founded AI company

It was co-founded by a man who “conducted classified intelligence work” for the Israel Defense Forces.

Only tangential to this but I feel very like an ancient pervert defending nudey visual art when people say all porn must be banned forever bc what perverts in the Georgian era were cooking was funny as fuck u can nearly hear the artist giggling and swinging their feet as u look at it

People will get mad when a noble and pure hearted culchie says coddle looks like indecent exposure in soup form forgetting they’ve been saying you’re a slurry muncher for time. You know if you’re a culchie in dublin they throw you in jail

Should I be nervous about the sudden rush on gold lately, like does that mean something, or is the rush just fully manifested of the other people’s nervousness

The very fact that CC represented banks in repossession cases as a barrister should prove to Leddin that she would have no issue whatsover dealing professionally with legislation she has opposed in the past. This is quite obvious.

Join the dots, Brian. It's not that hard.

There were about three days there where Americans (and inexplicably, Canadians?) were losing their minds under posts about an Irish presidential candidate, having somehow taken for granted that they could ONLY be talking about a US election that is years away and can I just say god help youse
