The Irish Blood Transfusion Service has made an urgent appeal for blood donations as current supplies for most groups have fallen to under three days of stock.

Ahead of the upcoming bank holiday, the IBTS said it is struggling to stay on top of demand.jrnl.ie/6844970

Urgent appeal for blood donations as supplies for most groups run 'critically low'

Yeah we'd be at a huge economic disadvantage if we left. We're the single most europhillic country in the bloc last time I checked, irexit will never be on the table so it's easy for anyone to say they'd leave on moral grounds, don't think it'd happen if the rubber hit the road

Yeah 100%, Frontex alone should be reason enough for us to be up in arms against the EU, but it isn't. The genocide should be way over the line, but apparently it isn't either. Plenty of reasons to be anti-EU that are definitionally anti-racist. Tories had other plans of of course

There's fuck all left in the tank by the looks of things. Expecting FG to fling as much mud as possible until the end

The EU is actively aiding a genocide. Far be it from me to suggest anyone should want to stay in it.

Yeah something like that. I think she probably thought she had the juice too until she was met with actual opposition. FG ego just crumbled when faced with reality

Can you imagine how small the Irish Times/Indo circulations are if this is accurate?

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

love a non-deterministic search function

Luke O'Neil @lukeoneil47.bsky.social · 2d

Apparently the useless fucking Gmail search does a thing now where it shows you synonyms for words you put in? i.e. results for "career" instead of "occupation." Has to be some cool new "A.I." innovation. Piece of shit.
