Yeah, I don’t disagree. I just know there are definitely people pushing for it and the only way they can make is palatable is to limit it in some way. Otherwise it’s chaos
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too.

I’m pretty sure the proposals/suggestions were. Like definitely every American O’Irish with a passport didn’t get a vote. It might have been limited to natural citizens abroad or something but I can’t really remember
Yeah, Oversees voting was topic in the last citizen’s assembly (which voted for it) and the current government has said it should be revisited b/c so much time has passed since. Not to mention the SF evergreen push to allow NI citizens to vote in the presidential election
Maybe? I honestly don’t know.
It’s also a very strong case against allowing passport holders abroad being able to vote in any Irish election
This always blows my mind, tbh
As a person in a similar position, I assume it won’t play that well
Yeah, I mean everyone needs to eat. So, doesn’t really bother me that people want to get paid.
The substack thing also raises the stakes for people who left Twitter because it platforms Nazis because leaving substack is actual requires potential sacrifice
It’s like a nesting doll of cranks
This is the strangest home run you're ever going to see and it could only happen at Fenway
Something very weird is going on here
Keir Starmer at home
Is Trump still MIA?
Yeah, like people consistently threatening to bash your skull in with a claw hammer is likely to color your view of this website
Sure, why not
People on Bluesky are talking about what people on Twitter are saying about Bluesky, again
Oh yeah, for sure
It’s really just a round trip from the Pilgrim’s Puritanism, no?
IIRC if you take the SATs you check a box that lets your scores get shared with universities and you can get auto generated “letters” (sales brochures, really) as a result. So both things can be true(ish)

Mine was a paper route and I have. Kr idea how much I made (I mean, not an lot but also enough for a 13 year old)
Right, he’s totally unprepared for what happens next. This is why cults tend to end in Jonestown, not succession
Ha. National Competent Authority - local regulator, basically
Ahhh, that’s a hard pass. Thanks
The fun thing about EU FinReg is that misselling is still illegal, even if it’s on the blockchain. Crypto get ready to get wrecked by NCA’s, is what I’m saying
I don’t even know that that is, lol
This is a feature not a bug
Yeah. Will be wild b/c I don’t think anyone likes Vance. It means in the long run it probably breaks the cult but, in the short term, shit gets worse
Whew!
He’s totally dead
Also, a little lost on the shuffle, is a lot of the impact was on LDI funds that had pensions clients. This is a different thing and the risk management process there is always the same - some combo of investors eat shit or redemption gates, sometimes both!
I will take the opportunity to resurrect an old debate with @tobyn.bsky.social over pension regulation. Which is simply to say that not every possible risk should be regulated out of existence! Pension funds had perfectly adequate capital levels for the pension related risks they faced...
I can’t think of someone less well suited to the role, tbh
Love that the flag discourse was an obvious trap, with a large sign pointing at it saying trap, and when asked about the trap Starmer says “I’ve always been a fan of traps, in fact I’m something of a collector” before jumping right in.
It be funny if the 2028 Olympics just ended up being the US, China, Russia, El Salvador, and North Korea
Yeah or, at the very least, brain dead
If the White House wants to convince us that Trump is still alive the they should’ve poached Newsom’s social manager
Fucking Boomers elevating nostalgia into “heritage.” The chain was created in 1967 by a representative of Shell Oil to sell more gasoline, and the old man and barrel was *added* to the original text-only label in 1977. www.forbes.com/sites/danidi...
When GOP controls govt, it supports govt ownership stakes in big U.S. corps. For now, the shares are non-voting shares. Could change in future. Basically it is setting firm-specific, higher corporate tax rates. Now, targeting highly govt dependent firms. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
Happy Labor Day from the Crew at Tuffy In Springfield. @TuffyInSpfld
Of all the strange interactions l've ever had on social media A US person telling me that swing pricing is an American regulatory construct is really really high up there.
Why do they have six fingers?
Yes that highlights the issue but even before that, stuff like not knowing what EOs he was signing should be a red flag
Honestly, at this point, I think it’s fair to question how much involvement he has or is capable of
Did “he” only start signing his tweets after he stroked out and has been hidden from the public? Like, I don’t remember it as a feature
An orange jacket, eh?
Fun discourse related fact - curries have been a part of British cuisine for longer than the USA has been a country.
It’s only colonial cultural appropriation if happens in the UK, otherwise it’s just sparkling multiculturalism
I mean, he also overlooks which country the American southwest and California was originally part of.
And most incredible of all, it’s all completely legal! 🤯 The Trumps’ New Crypto Money Maker: Deals With Themselves www.wsj.com/finance/curr...
Well, sure. But the immediate concern is the fact that the SEC has blessed liquid staking as a non-securities transaction. Which probs blows a huge loophole open for getting yield on stablecoin ls
There should be less presidential debates and more physical and mental challenges relevant to the role. Make the candidates shake the hands of two full GAA teams to see who does it weirdly. #Aras25 #speirgorm
Eh, there are reasons to be worried about stablecoins but this isn’t one of them. Like, all the stablecoin regimes make it illegal to do this
That’s basically the old “18-30 demo” that drove TV advertising rates, no?
Look, I’m not a fan of stablecoins but this is just fear mongering. Like all the stablecoin regimes have rules against doing this. www.ft.com/content/445e...
“Online isn’t real life” might actually apply to TV/Film buzz
C’mon, would people clam the fuck down
Trump dying of COVID would definitely lead to some insane outcomes
Oh yeah, that makes sense. Just that the US media seems very incurious about it
That’s definitely the right call
Indiana Jones 4 is on on the background and it’s still objectively terrible. But because you know the next one is worse, on a relative basis, it seems better now
I don't think there is a sentence in this that doesn't raise further questions
When Princess Diana died in a car accident US securities settled T+3
You’re thinking it too
😂
We’re really running out of time to find a Irish presidential candidate who can pass the “forget they exist and not embarrass the country” test
lol, what?
She’s really going with the “I was against her before I was for her” bit www.irishexaminer.com/news/politic...
OMG he’s totally lost it
Yeah, who knows. Like a dude wearing the same outfit to golf two weeks in a row isn’t unheard of
lol. lmao, even
Like, I don’t know what the deal is but something is up. It be neat if there were a group of people whose job it was to investigate and report on things like this.
Tump loves talking to the press. He does it basically everyday. Now he hasn’t been heard from since, what, Wednesday? Yeah that ain’t right.
This is true, the commitment based approach is much cleaner
Me when my wife sees the browser history
Same
Thanks, I hate it
Glass-Steagall, basically
More like Writer S. Thompson (i learn that he was also an avid hunter) More like Hunter S. Writer
Yeah, even here it’s not exactly smooth sailing. Like over the last few years there’s been a spate of hotels being set fire b/c they might be used for asylum seekers.
I always love the incredulous “even Ireland” bit
It’s nice to this kind of consistency between the men’s and women’s teams
Ok hear me out. A Lord of the Rings remake, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor
Ok, hear me out. A Lord of the Rings remake, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor
Yeah. Like, the musk AI factory is running a 100 methane generators 24X7. That’s bad!
C’mon, that’s the proof of life? The moon landing was more convincing 😂
Anyway, real mystery why Nick Saban retired suddenly
