It should surprise no one from Naas that this happened there. The amount of people in Naas, and young people too, with ultra-conservative views is a lot higher than some in the town are comfortable admitting. Not everyone to be sure, but a hell of a lot all the same. #SpeirGorm

A group of people have turned up to Catherine Connolly’s canvass in Naas asking about Enoch and Elijah Burke.

They have asked Connolly if she’s a Freemason…

Wow, ok FFVII. I see how it is.

Description from FFVII. Cid Highwind's age is highlighted as 32 and the description reads that he is a 'warm hearted old pilot'

And it has some great nods to the first two movies. I genuinely enjoyed myself, Jodie Turner-Smith was my fave in the movie. But when you get through the whole thing you’ll realise that Ares doesn’t actually contribute anything at all, it’s so funny

Gillian Anderson is great
Greta Lee is great
Evan Peters is great
Jodie Turner-Smith was my favourite
The soundtrack is great
The visuals and fight scenes are great
Jared Leto is a weight around the neck of that movie, he is so poor in it.
It’s a shame

Lads… you can completely remove Jared Leto from Tron: Ares and it would make ZERO impact on the story. If anything, would make the story and movie tighter. I’m howling that Ares’ story in the movie is so inconsequential it’s basically B plot. It’s actually not a bad movie but Leto is truly terrible.

Tron: Ares is tanking at the box office so it’s only a matter of time until Disney says it means nobody wants any more Tron movies instead of realising that nobody wants any more Jared Leto movies

Yep. Someone backed bigger & bigger trucks of money up to their door until they say yes. Sharing our ethical values is wonderful but more people have a price than we're comfortable admitting.

I loved Expedition X on Discovery Channel but it really went downhill fast once Jessica Chobot left. It used to be more an X Files style mystery/cryptid thing where she had the best chemistry with Phil Torres. Now it’s a bland ghost hunting show in a sea of other, better, ghost hunting shows.

If you decide to not vote, that's totally fine and you shouldn't beat yourself up about it (or listen to others who would try) Your vote is yours to do with as you please and if the political process has failed you to the degree that you don't want to vote, that isn't your fault or responsibility.
