Only 71,850 people have registered to vote in the new Higher Education constituency for the Seanad, despite a potential electorate of between 800,000 and 1,000,000 graduates. The unified 6-seater is open to graduates of over 80 higher level institutions, not just the historic TCD and NUI.

Took me more than a second to realize that @gavreilly.com is using a Heated Rivalry song for his show. The presence of Ivan Yates was blocking my synapses from making the Hudson & Ilya connection.

What's wild about all the TRANS CONTAGION pieces is that, outside of Op Eds, the editing process at these publications make it *almkat impossible* to make even basic factual statements without rigorous fact checking.
A rule that is just shredded, pulped, and thrown out the window for transphobia.

Where? How? These people have been pooping this stupid myth back and forth for so long that they don't even bother to provide basic evidence anymore.

The implication here from the BBC is that al-Najjar children could’ve been legitimate targets if their parents had ties to Hamas.
