Airbnb-style short-term lets outnumber homes to rent by 4 to 1 in Cork Renters are locked out - developers are looking to build an 11-story short-let tower in Cork city centre

I feel like I am taking crazy pills - for every 1 rental property in Cork, there's 4 Airbnbs - this is lunacy in the middle of a decade-long housing crisis. Like, wtf are we doing here?

The idea of paying someone to think horrifies me to my core

It costs American taxpayers $11,500 every second to fund Donald Trump’s war in Iran.

It costs American taxpayers $11,500 every second to fund Donald Trump’s war in Iran.

So while your money flies away to fund this war, remember that Donald Trump wouldn't lift a finger to lower health care costs here in America.

Ah so they are blaming killing innocent children on AI. AI can never be held accountable…

Folks have argued for years that AI weapons could be hardwired to follow the rules. They never figured that the people building the AI and the people using it would have totally different ideas about what those rules should be.

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."

No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

13 American service members have been killed in this illegal war with Iran under Secretary Pete Hegseth’s watch.

My heart is with their families and loved ones.

But Hegseth won't take accountability. Instead, he's pushing for Donald Trump's billionaire friend to censor CNN.

Millionaire bank executives shouldn't get to make out like bandits after running their banks into the ground while leaving everyone else holding the bag.

I'm working on this bipartisan bill to hold them accountable.

If you're a service member being ordered to prep for deployment for the War in Iran and you have moral and/or ethical misgivings on all this, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status.

I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year we’ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.

It’s either naive or complicit to pretend this money is just going into the treasury, like Trump is just dedicated to filling the public coffers.

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose ‘targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

The Senate just passed the biggest housing bill in more than 30 years.

The House should pass it immediately so we can lower housing costs for families across the country.

At this point it's barely even a boycott, I've just stopped thinking of Target as a place to buy the things I used to buy at Target.

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

I Watched 6 Hours of DOGE Bro Testimony. Here's What They Had to Say For Themselves The hours of videos provide fascinating, or perhaps horrifying, insight into the thinking of someone inside DOGE.

I have watched 6 hours of a DOGE bro deposition. The whole thing, start to finish. It's a fascinating, and horrifying, look at the people who caused so much damage, didn't really achieve anything at all, while still being so sure they are right.

I spent the day at a small conference where the CO2 in the room hovered between 1800–2000 ppm. You better believe I wore a mask. I'm on a train heading home now. You better believe that's a maskin'.

the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.

I know this is impossible for us discuss in this current moment but... People want to do interesting, thoughtful, creative, day to day work. They want to care for each other, and feel like they are contributing to something bigger.

It should be where we start when we think about our communities.

Something I've been trying to do lately is formulate my principles and beliefs in positive rather than negative terms - "I believe X" rather than "I'm not like those fucking guys" - and it's been a useful and (I think) healthy little reorientation
