A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.
That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.
The dealer needs to keep you addicted.
Dear Mr Tóibín,
Sincerely, what the fuck are you talking about?
I have no idea. It's out of my coverage area, but when I spotted both, I thought it was noteworthy enough to mention.
@dublininquirer.com are fond of urban foxes, maybe they could investigate?
Title: "The Haters" panel 1. Two round characters sit in a cinema. Yellow blob "I hate this!" Red Blob "Me too!" Panel 2. They have left the cinema Red blob "I hated every minute of that film! It was nothing like the book!" Panel 3. "Did you like the book?" asks Yellow. Red replies "I hated it!" then asks "You?" Panel 4. Yellow blob "I've not read it. I hated the film purely on its own merits." Panel 5. Red blob "I'll lend you my copy." Yello blob"That's very kind." Panel 6. Caption: "Later" Yellow, reading the book "I hate this!" Red (happily) "I knew you would!!"

thegist.ie I said CJEU judgments were succinct. But one of the ways they manage this is to be very information dense. To expand on that paragraph a little- where a person has a right covered by the Charter of Fundamental Rights or any other provision of EU law and access to those legal entitlements is being blocked by a failure to correctly record their gender (in line with the definition at paragraph 32 above as being defined by "lived gender identity, and not to the identity assigned to them at birth") then whatever national law that is causing that impediment is to just be set aside. It is a dead letter. Every_court, every. state body, every individual official has to behave as it it didn't exist. That's the consequence of incompatibility with EU law.
On discourse about trans people’s right to access to accurate ID, I’d like to remind that the EU’s top court, using data protection’s most fundamental principles, has declared that someone’s “lived gender identity” is what must be recorded to describe them.

I understand that there are a lot of folks on the left who instinctively recoil from religious language, and with good reason given its use by the right.
But please listen to this, and focus on how he's trying to realign "Christian values" so they align with and advance progressive policy goals.
If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice
Give me strength when I try to imagine Ian O'Doherty walking around Dublin Zoo with children all around him and him liking it...
I think it’s good to remember that just because someone is angry, doesn’t mean anything needs to happen. The rest of us can just ignore them. The zoo can do its promo, none of this will matter to them in the slightest. The melts will be mad about something else next week anyway.
Question to Chief Executive South East Area Committee Meeting 09th March 2026 Q.1 Councillor Rory Hogan To ask the area manager if DCC has a policy for the control of foxes in urban areas. Residents are raising concerns about urban foxes, but it’s unclear which authority is responsible for addressing these issues. If this doesn’t fall under Environmental Health, the Department of Agriculture, NPWS or the Local Authority, can you explain what the current process is and whether there are plans to provide clearer guidance?
Fresh from his recent council motion to bring back Glyphosate to the streets of Dublin City (which failed), Cllr Rory Hogan (FF) is now looking for "a policy for the control of foxes in urban areas".
Was it the same person who contacted him about both of these?
I've been tested twice in 2 decades of driving.
If what the President said was obviously wrong, why is the cabinet minister remaining anonymous? Why don't they proudly step up and defend the indefensible? Because Catherine Connolly isn't wrong. She's speaking the truth and cowards are afraid we'll piss off the liars.
Either they didn’t think about the effect of the invasion on oil and gas prices or they did and didn’t care. I wrote a paper once distinguishing malice, recklessness, negligence, and incompetence. Sometimes you get them all at once.

Thanks, with all that's going on, I needed a good laugh.
No words.
Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?
I mean beyond all of the loathsome obvious shit about allllll of this, the director of the fucking INSIDE fucking OUT movies saying “We’re making a movie, not hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy" is a level of self-unawareness I can only marvel at

Advisors and political correspondents tell them that's the case.

Every time a politician or campaigner tells you that not everyone can cycle or that we need to bring everyone with us or that we need to balance modes and priorities ask yourself what have they done about all the cars...

Allowing bicycles off peak is useful to allow people move bicycles and bring bicycles to without impacting on passenger carrying capacity.
* = Peak time bicycles on board suburban trains doesn't work unless you're somewhere like Copenhagen with a crazy amount of active capacity vs demand.
