I'll call it here and now - those in the IPAS centre will face more "serious consequences" than those who attacked it.
The recent rhetoric of O'Callaghan, Harris et al has paved the way for this attack, but no-one in media or politics will call them out.

I'm finding it so hard -not- to reply to the American Exceptionals. There's something fundamentally tragic about it and the impulse to confront them with their mistake feels both important and utterly futile.

Fine Gael had such little respect for the office of the Uachtarán that their top priority for selecting a candidate was "won't cause a by-election if they win". The job isn't worth one TD or senator to them.
But they really don't want anyone else to have it.

Science fiction benefits from its repudiation, and the repudiation of Sci-fi is essential to the greatest entries in the genre.
Any sci-fi that could be accepted into a literary fiction cannon would be so much less provocative and interesting than another that couldn't.

Painfully dull move, and additionally baffling considering just how well set processes meat companies are to capitalise on veggie alternatives. Like Keogh's black veggie pudding 🤤 and jeesus wept I couldn't believe what veggies accepted for sausages before Denny's and Clon stepped in with theirs.
WOW! The European Parliament just voted to BAN the words 'burger' and 'sausage' when used in sustainable plant-based alternatives. HUGE win for the meat and dairy lobby in the EU, and lots more confusion for consumers if this goes through. Insane!
