“Dublin is dead and everybody knows it. Everyone’s mates are in Berlin, or Glasgow, or Canada, or maybe even Belfast. They killed it. Fine Gael and Fianna Fail and landlords and Spoons and international capital and vulture funds and REITs and everything in between”

Dublin is sold as a modern city that is home to the world's most dynamic industries – but for its residents, daily life is scarred by one of Europe's worst housing crises and rampant workplace precarity.

It was such a pleasure to go through the review process with @VisAnthReview and I’m so proud that this work of #autophotography with the farmer that explores the politics of care and the emotional labour of killing your cows has a home! #Humananimalstudies #VisualAnthro

Tell us again @LeoVaradkar about 'populist conspiracy theories' to distract from your utter negligence of these workers.

This is not correct. SARS-CoV-2 is nothing like influenza virus from a virological or evolutionary standpoint. A short thread on some big differences:

@LeoVaradkar Ah here we go. Ireland's data in this graph is based on a Richard Chambers tweet repeating that Stephen Donnelly had no actual numbers but saying we were doing great. So it's spin with no actual data. See here. https://t.co/MttTGZi6FC

So @LeoVaradkar is using OurWorldInData to post great Irish vaccine numbers, and their one source as you can see below a @newschambers tweet which merely was government line saying we've no actual figures but doing great. That's one hell of a self-fulfilling prophecy right there.

All public and civil servants please note: The Minister for Justice says that leaking a confidential document should have no consequences, if: A) you believe doing so is in the public interest, and B) you don't personally gain. Come on, folks, feel free - leak away!

When people in power say they had to stick with a bad law, you sort of wonder what’s the point of having those people there, then? In fact, what’s the point of elections at all? #MotherAndBabyHomes #StopTheSeal #dubw

Surprised to see the fact Larry Goodman is now #3 richest man in Ireland, with wealth increasing €0.8bn last year to €3.2bn, not featuring in our news. Is it too divisive given all the meat plant scandals and the fiasco of the deal with private healthcare providers?

Why can't we all just be happy for Larry Goodman whose fortune has increased by 30% in the past year to €3.2bn, that's an increase of €15m a week. Who'd have thought extracting profits from Ireland to Liechtenstein via Luxembourg could be so fruitful.
