I'd feel better about it if they did something interesting with it. Maybe your mind rejects the sheer terror of the empty expanse, causing you to hallucinate a figure into which you can focus your fear - and fool yourself into thinking you can destroy.

Apparently the water thing is them expecting to be served a pitcher of water for the table without asking at restaurants. Which OK fair enough I guess, but I also feel like that's something you DO get at a lot of restaurants across the continent, it's just not always a given.

There was a laundry in Dublin in the early 20th century called the Swastika Laundry, and when the Nazis came to power, rather than change their name despite pressure to do so, they just added "Est. 1912".

Sorry, I swear I'm trying to shut up, but you can't even cozy-fy Victorian ghost stories because SO much of it is a direct response to the horrors of empire and the fear of the subaltern's revenge. To quote Shirley Jackson, "Fear and guilt are sisters"
The idea that people in the past had more delicate tastes and sensibilities always suggests to me an underlying message of "the past was safer" which ALWAYS sounds very reactionary and conservative, whether that is the intention or not.

Reductive reading of Alien aside, I really don't think this "trend" of trauma horror is as pervasive as people on the internet are insisting it is.
imagine how bad Alien would suck if an indie horror director made it in 2022. instead of being about the horrors of natural selection and the cosmic insignificance of the human animal, the xenomorph would represent Ripley’s trauma over her parent’s divorce.

As someone already rightfully pointed out, if the moratorium wasn't in place and she had successfully managed to evict her tenant in the middle of a housing crisis, in the middle of Winter, you can bet your ass they wouldn't get a press junket.
"It''s not worth it. I'd say that to anyone considering becoming a landlord in this country."
- Jeanette Brown on how, despite being a homeowner, she has now been left with nowhere to live due to the moratorium on evictions.

In the 6 years we've been living in Berlin, our rent has never gone above €760. We currently live in a 2 bedroom flat with a balcony, in a nice, well-connected neighbourhood.
Sometimes I look on Daft to see what we could afford back home. There's nothing.
My rent in Brussels was 800 euro for the entire place. I had a guest room, a garden, and could walk to work in 15 minutes. Does the Tánaiste even know what you get in Dublin for 800 euro

The far right in North America love to treat Ireland as some conservative idyll, frozen in amber, where they can dip in and spout their rhetoric. We saw it with the marriage referendum and with repealing the 8th. Don't fall for it. We're not real to them.
Thank you to Ireland for being such wonderful hosts. I’m sorry I couldn’t have stayed longer.
