POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Been thinking long and hard about how neither legacy or social media seem to be enough to influence this upcoming election

This is very annoying when it comes to kids book which are both frequently written by English people and full of rhymes. When one rhymed 'scarf' with 'giraffe' I absolutely lost all reason.

Joe Griffin @thejoegriffin.bsky.social · 1d

I keep forgetting that English people add a phoenetic 'r' where there's a vowel. That's why I didn't get that name 'Shaun the Sheep' was a pun for a good 10 years.

The entirety of my for you page on twitter is freaks who've paid for Twitter to talk shit about Connolly. Just so much boiled piss.

Convinced she'll win now, whichever gowl who got suckered in by the confidence men promising a "social media influence campaign" will have wasted their money

This debate should have started the moment those police Nazi group chats were leaked, years before the genocide began

In a sane world Germany would be having lengthy debates about "the police question".

The lack of shame is maddening.

They know they're being filmed, they know their ID number is in full view and yet they gladly assault and abuse people over and over

I'm less interested in the individual reasons why, which may vary and may be sympathetic on an individual case by case basis, but more that dereliction is so prevalent in prime locations in a capital city is unforgivable.

Dereliction also plagues the quays and major streets like Capel Street
