They're pretty grim reading, but then they're dealing with grim issues.
I mean giving you lived there, you probably don't need to revisit it!
How's the muse? Quiescent? Feisty?

My views on 1980s Yorkshire Police are irredeemably polluted or perhaps informed by the Red Riding books by David Peace.

Kildare shopper pops to Lidl, gets clamped.....again - News - Kildare Nationalist Just what is going on

Clamping is a scummy act done by the lowest kind of scumbags and companies that deploy it should be boycotted.

Fun fact
In Ireland, almost without exception, polling stations are always your local national school (elementary school for Americans).
Also fun fact, although you don't require you may be asked to produce ID
But then we live in a functioning democracy

What is his obsession with windmills? Did he ask one out when he was 15 and it laughed at him?

I have uploaded a piece to AO3
Everyone agrees the galaxy of W40k is f*****. How does each faction and character respond to "how bad is it".
A, I hope, humorous look at the grimdark

Don't let any American based researcher ever look down on any European or Asian research.
Cowardice and intellectual abdication from a bunch of people who would absolutely see themselves as the intellectual elite of the world. When they're not licking the boot

🚨BREAKING: A national security official says Donald Trump is in a catch-22 where Iranians are threatening to release videos of him sexually assaulting children if he bombs them, and Israel is threatening the same if he doesn't!

My god! Lock that fucker up!
Leak the videos. The End.

Nah, if you've ever met economists you will realize that's not the case at all.
A large chunk of people across all professions will happily march their colleagues off a plank. Watching Americans struggle with that realization is ...yeah

Remember, there are tons and tons of people in the USA in economic and related professions who would be more than happy to say whatever in whatever circumstances, for a few pennies. Do not presume your colleagues would not rat you out at need

I am pleasantly surprised that Ireland is so high. But then I look around and I see the very large penetration of BYD in the last 18 months...
