This is possibly the best news clipping I have ever read.
The title is only scratching the surface.

Maybe that's where they got the idea from?

Would be the perfect cover. Go around committing crimes and defrauding people.
When challenged by the authorities, point to some chain mail from 2006.

The world is really unusual right now, this is the president of the United States folks.

We're in a time they'll talk about.

There is a similar one but if focuses on Birx's face as he spouts this nonsense. She looks like she wants to cry in anger and frustration.

[Raoul Duke III]

I wonder will the image of "covid deaths now exceeding those who died in Vietnam" get much airplay when it happens (probably inside a week).

It's the kind of stat that might grab the popular imagination.

For a period but not for long.

I've read it once already and it's been mentioned to me another time in the past few days.

Need a Movie with Ron Burgundy in the Whitehouse . Its waiting to be made. The material is there already. Start with grabbing a pussy . Who do I talk to ?

"Maybe you can, maybe you can't ... I'm not a doctor. But I'm, like, a person that has a good you-know-what," Trump said, pointing to his head.

[Raoul Duke III]

Then he'll deny he said it.

We are so far through the looking glass that we have come out the other side and are believing six impossible things before breakfast.

Ha, I'd never even heard of this before.

So Piers Morgan is clearly a tool of the highest order but I have to hand it to him, this took serious balls. Broke a rib too. I doubt he saw one of them.

Trumps's press conferences are like you've asked a random 6 year old to speculate how you might treat covid-19.

It might, although it doesn't take a special stable genius to come up with that.

I await the stories from hicktown of people hospitalised after drinking bleach.

I'm told I need to get a cordless vacuum cleaner, I'm loathe to put a penny in that creep Dyson's pocket but the brand awareness is strong so i need something demonstrably better.
Any ideas?

Got a V11 at xmas, unreal on what it took up from carpets ! Came from a corded miele, not a patch on the Dyson.

[Raoul Duke III]

debated about sending this, but wtf there's only about five 'people of colour' in the whole country and the poor Polish who are maybe 10% of the population and get no media coverage are excluded for having the wrong skin colour. Think the journo thinks she works on the downtown Baltimore nightshift not whiter than an uncooked meringue Ireland.

Depends where you are but central Dublin in particular is as diverse as any other international-facing city imo.
Wouldn't mind seeing some authoritative source for counting # of Asians vs Africans but would imagine vastly more Asians.
Obviously drops off as you move into suburbia and then the countryside is pretty much as it ever was.

Even looking at the kids; my daughters best friends are part-Vietnamese, part-Italian and Polish.

Green Party demands for entering government - which seems like it is going to happen. A few are debatable, a few are impractical, but not a bad overall set of ideas.

1. Will you commit to convening a social dialogue process representative of all key stakeholders with a view to developing of a new social contract?
2. Will you commit to establishing a trial of Universal Basic Income (UBI) within the lifetime of the next Government?

I'm not sure why these are Green policies? i'd also like to know what the current "social contract" is frankly.

My birthday too. Let's annoy everyone here by marvelling that the odds must be hundreds to one.

well 365 days in the year and there's two of you so it must be 182.5/1!

we bought a dyson one, it's pretty great tbh, the only thing letting it down is battery life

Kitty Holland is worth ignoring. She writes mad stuff.

She went on a long tirade about gentrification by "chain restaurants", because Colin Harmon opened Gertrude on Pearse Street. It's been an empty building for years, but somehow that's way over the top gentrification. Only Ranelagh is allowed to have restaurants.

Yeah I wouldn't get a dyson again based on Battery life and more recently seeing what a tit your man is!, I think though the problem is it is always charging when in the holder, if the battery was full should shut down charging

How does Pokio work? Is each club segregated? Or is there a combined players pool?

[ArmaniJeans]

No reason why they shouldn't be Green Party policies. It's perfectly ok for them to have policies outside the core 'green' issues.

which race in Ireland would be the better off financially on average? I wonder is this what she meant implying ethnicities would make up lower income households?

just watched Possessor. New fil by Brandon Cronenberg, son of David. Well it's fair to say the apple didn't fall far from the tree. great fucked up film to say the least.

From the Guardian:

The company that makes Dettol has issued a warning against consuming or injecting disinfectants, after Donald Trump, the US president, suggested it would “interesting to check” whether doing so could help cure patients of coronavirus.

Barbequed Toulouse sausages for lunch. Mighty fine. Spectacular even.

This inspired me to drag the bbq out of the shed.

Don't know why I thought it would all beautiful and pristine when I opened it up. Several interesting new life forms blooming on it.

Kitty was a few years ahead of me in school. Was pretty feisty back then too, hardly surprising when you consider who her mother was.

Some clubs are part of a wider group. For example the Irish community group will have multiple clubs, the majority of your rake goes to the club you elect while a % goes to the community.

I'm a member of the Irish community group via one club, I'm in a Norwegian club via another and then in one smaller group which I believe may have recently joined another larger community.

It really depends on the club(s) you choose to join

[Dice75]

Not me i swear....

I assume it was pooled, or else they wouldn't have enough online together.

Didn;t think they were that rated for vacuum cleaners though, and don't think they do cordless

Shark is the one I've repeatedly read is the best value.

Similar design and spec to Dyson with a decent discount and relatively regular sales.

But if Dyson can make people hand over 500e for a hairdryer who am I to argue?
