yeah 60-40 is basically the nightmare wipeout scenario, it's very possible!

i think a lot of the gavin supporters who may have transferred to her will just stay home
johnhyphen.bsky.social
yeah but how bad are they

a 55-45 loss or something isn't catastrophic, is it gonna be worse

Discworld QOTD, from Reaper Man
"C.M.O.T. Dibbler liked to describe himself as a merchant adventurer; everyone else liked to describe him as an itinerant pedlar whose money-making schemes were always let down by some small but vital flaw, such as trying to sell things he didn’t own or which didn’t work or, sometimes, didn’t even exist."

i always like to remind people that the european commission's (admirable) push for one common phone charger is also what gave us one of the most batshit bananas pieces of political communication i have ever seen in my life

i still believe the EU is something that can be fixed and improved, and that it has achieved some amazing things

it's in a bad moment: bending over backwards to please polluting industries, harmful trade deals, militarisation, dithering on gaza

but it's better being in, more chance to change it

much of Connolly's (and the left in general's) criticism of the EU (especially re nice/lisbon) has been borne out

the EU institutions are rolling back environmental and social protections, often in return for trade deals. the EU/NATO venn diagram is almost a circle. on gaza they've been pathetic.

Re: Connolly's comments a decade ago on EU/Brexit, her diagnosis of many underlying problems is correct - although her conclusions I severely disagree with.

However, again the response from some quarters has been essentially screaming "all criticism of the EU is inherently bad!". Unserious.

is the language in this letter irish-times-coded enough, i was really trying

absolutely any excuse to get this vital issue on the public agenda

A chara,

The role of Uachtarán na hÉireann comes with so few powers, but is well suited to representing the nation's morals, culture and spirit. I find it sad then that candidates have yet to take a position on if they would champion the return of animals to Ireland's coins.

The stag, salmon, woodcock and others were a celebration of Irish nature that brought delight to young and old alike, and now on euro coins would spread even further. The president may not hold any sway on how much money is in our pockets, but surely a call from the Áras to make that money charming again could not be ignored. 

Is mise le meas,

i'll tell you what should be scrapped: the biannual calls for daylight saving time to be scrapped
thejournal.ie
You may see clock changes as a long-standing tradition, but there have been calls for the practice to be abolished.

Do you think daylight savings should be scrapped?

Do you mind the clocks changing twice a year?

the five-year-old just got her first ai-generated birthday invitation

look at this soulless garbage

compare it to the invitation she made for her own birthday

how are these joyful parts of life the things that people want to outsource to a machine, it makes me sick that this is where we're moving
