The fash on the march in Dublin, Ireland today.
In other news the parliament here has a golf club apparently and 80 people met for a dinner as part of it. One minister so he’s resigned and the senators (kind of like house of lords in England except no hereditary members, we reserve hereditary positions for elected politicians it seems) have had their party whips withdrawn. Personally I’m angling for the EU commissioner and supreme court judge at it to retire. Not resign, retire completely. The contempt of the privileged knows no bounds unless we make that boundary for them.
Also you might notice on that front page that the first prison case has been discovered which is more horrible news on top of all the horrible news piling up as the second wave seems to be gathering strength.

He said he spoke out about it to ProPublica because he opposes Medicare-for-all health care reform proposals. Bad actors in the profession could cause doctors to lose their privilege to bill and be reimbursed independently, he said. Most physicians are fair with their billing, or even conservative, he said. “If instances like these go unchecked it will provide more ammo for advocates of a single-payer system.”
dude. it’s not a bug, it’s the whole damn feature.

“If you ignore all the places where it’s bad because I intentionally did everything I could to make it as bad as possible (and ignore all the places where it’s bad now because people listened to me), we did super great!”
