Fairly spot on, as he often is @jonathanliew.bsky.social
Talking football ☺️
Screenshot of an article about landlord being delighted by new Irish rental laws. And expert flagging this landlord doesn’t pay tax on its income.
Ireland’s housing crisis summed up…
Meanwhile, normal people stress everyday about long-term housing options.
😬
And we’re only in week 3 of the month…
But it’s Met Éireann’s fault 🫣
Very interesting, Tim. Something football can surely learn from too.
We could try and enforce the laws we have too #housing
Peaceful protests and speech shut down, more than 2,700 arrested, young people on hunger strike, people imprisoned, pensioners dragged away on the streets, and after all that, the UK’s ban on Palestine Action is ruled unlawful.
More mná needed in all walks of life 🫶🏻
#TikTok was funny, informative and interesting early on. These days… one video view and you’re down a rabbit hole 🤯

But the developers need to make a profit… 😕
Enjoy :)

"How can FIFA continue to operate without meaningful political or legal oversight? ... And why does the responsibility to speak out so often fall on athletes and fans?"

Yup 🤷🏻♀️
“By gradually reducing total dependence on a handful of American tech platforms…
… we can reclaim more control over our own digital future and make sure the next geopolitical row or cloud outage does not take our emails, documents or memories down with it.”

And more annoying, Govt minister mentioning climate change as factor and his Govt pretty much doing nothing about it and pointing at Met Éireann … 🫣
Football fans gather outside a historic building displaying banners supporting their team during a sunny day. Overlayed is an FSE logo, and the text "New recommendations on away fan bans: it's now up to national governments to follow them".
🗺️🏟️ With fans travelling away to European matches this week, we look at the @coe.int’s recently adopted recommendations on collective bans against travelling supporters, shaped by significant input from FSE.
❗ It’s now up to national governments to act.

How Northern lights have fascinated Irish people for centuries. Historic records of the aurora borealis in Irish skies survive in folklore, newspapers and scientific reports, writes @angela-historian.bsky.social @dib.ie www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...
the average tenure of head coaches across Europe is now about 1.2 years, with most serving less than a season.” 😬
All sorts of random stuff over the years, and I’d never use it 🫣
Yup, we’ve all done that 😊 H&M was a must visit in UK, until it arrived in Ireland… TopShop another one
It’s like the middle aisle in Lidl/Aldi but for cosmetics. Lots of stuff you didn’t know existed and you buy stuff you don’t need / won’t use 🫣
Ha, I’m with you on that one too.
It may well be like some of the other UK brands that have come in over the years - once we have it on the island, it won’t be such a big deal and not as interesting. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that…
I meant to text to ask!! I felt it was a proper journo scrum 😌
Yeah…. the Oscar-bait point is very real. It’s that time of year 😆
