I would recommend anyone read the Kenova Report published today, especially ps 123-4 in context of the headlines stating there is no evidence of collusion between the British state and loyalist paramilitaries.

"Gareth Sheridan went to Tucker Carlson's Christmas party" is already crazy, but "Gareth Sheridan took a photo with the world's most famous antisemitic conspiracy theorist, then voluntarily posted it on the Internet" is blowing my fucking mind

Shameless Garda PR blitz links road deaths to visibility issues in cases where there is no link

Comment & Analysis: Sadly, I have to start this article by saying, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this article says 'don't be visible'. Lights are a legal requirement, and it'd be a good start if the Gardai enforced them, and people walking should take steps to be visible on unlit roads. I get it, nobody likes it when people are walking on unlit roads in the dark without lights and wearing dark clothing, and it's annoying when some cyclists think they are ninjas.

This is Elon Musk and Marco Rubio’s 🤮 legacy.
DOGE is gone, leaving behind 300,000 fired federal workers, 600,000 USAID deaths, and more
Here's everything DOGE did that affected the LGBTQ+ community at home and abroad.

Why is RTE uncritically reporting this bullshit ? What evidence has Denis O'Brien, tax exile in Portugal, produced ? What commercial property does Denis O'Brien own that might influence what he says on working from home ? Since when did he care about the civil service ?
