How DID the local elections in the republic go down?
All I know is that FFG made a good few gains (followed by comments on the internet about how we are but a nation of children and we need the British back (nvm we in the north are still waiting for them to leave) and the usual drivel), SF made a few, and the far right came out with baseless accusations of voter fraud.
Overall, FFG lost seats and SF gained seats, despite FFG crowing about SF losing the election. Smug bastards.
Labor, Greens, and People before Profit also lost seats since the last local election.
Social Democrats (SD), Aontu, Independents, and Other parties gained seats.
There's an RTE link that's okay information. There's been some criticism of the lack of seeing the transfers and such on the tv, with only journalist information being a source of it.
The EU counts are still going on, though Dublins 4 seats were filled today via elimination. Nobody there beat the quota.
Limericks first democratically elected mayor was elected today too, and won in the same way, by last person standing. The quota was not reached by anyone.
Yes, the far right went off the deep end because few got in. There was no far right wave, thank fuck. So the far right have started coping the likes of maga and their baseless accusations.
Such as voter ID, they honestly claimed that it was sus that nobody was photo IDed. Your ballot card is valid ID enough. All the years I've been voting, I've only been photo IDed once, and that was for the recent referendum the far right also went batshit for.
I did hear one of the far right candidates was escorted out of polling stations for aggressive behaviour, which is good. And supposedly one may get slapped with a criminal record for breaking canvessing laws on election day.

@halfacoin CONGRATULATIONS COINY!!!! You have completed another round in this giant solar system carousel!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUU BESTIE!!! 🥳🎂🌼
To honour your great achievement, I am throwing you a party! It's gonna be a riot! Want to find out who will attend? Or rather… how many of whom? Why don't you have a look 😉
Did you know that you share your special day with some other worthy celebrations? Yes, it's a fourfold holiday! In fact, in most (if not all) parts of the world it's mother's day! And seeing as you are a cat mom, I feel some additional felicitations are in order while we're at it: happy (cat) mother's day, Coiny! 🐱💕
Beside that, it's international nurses day! Your very best friend, Goblin Gaius has decided to honour two holidays at once and dressed up especially fancy for your birthday party:
Tumblr media
He's paying tribute to all the nurses in the world. How nice of him <3
I feel like you're screaming and cursing at me now, so let's quickly move on to another thing that's happening: It's also national limerick day! For your day of glory (and because I feel a little apologetic for making you look at GG in all his glory), here's a little limerick for you:
There is a tumblrina named Coiny. Who is very slick but not oily. It's her birthday today, On the 12th of May, Bring some cake and her party you'll join-y!
Even the sun sends her greetings and well-wishes on your successful travels around her! Specially for you, auroras are popping all over the world this weekend. Nature's fireworks, just for your day of honour. What a treat! (Please note, however, that sun awareness week ends today, so this is the last day of being aware of the sun. Please go back to being completely oblivious of the sun tomorrow.)
I know what you're thinking. These are all very real holidays, yes! I found them on the internet, which means of course that they are real.
All silliness aside, I hope you have the most marvellous (birth-/mother/nurse/limerick) day, receive a bucketload of shiny golden coins and more cake than Goblin Gaius can lick.
Happiest of birthdays to you, bestie <33333

How do you think members of VM would have reacted to the pandemic and those initial quarantines, in a modern AU? Who were they stuck with and what weird memories do they have from the time - of newly discovered habits, or mask misshaps, shopping trip chaos? Anyone realize their feelings over it, lose their job, start working from home?
I imagine Pike would likely be in healthcare, so it would have been a very hard and dangerous time for her - I know around here they couldn't interact with their families just in case. I can imagine Scanlan singing loud enough for her to hear, rooms away and alone, and cheering her up as best he can with limericks.
ooo good question!
Since Vax is an EMT he'd also not be allowed to see any of his family so maybe he and Pike live together for a while so they can stay safe but also not be alone like so many of their coworkers. And because Vex doesn't want to live by herself so she moves in with Grog and Scanlan while Percy and Keyleth live together.
They have video calls every week to keep in touch. Percy absolutely loses his job which gives him lots of time so to keep active and outside, he volunteers at the National Parks with Vex, which is how they get closer and start to fall in love.
And I think you're totally right, Scanlan goes over to Pike and Vax's apartment and sings from the street, playing his guitar until she appears on the fire escape and looks at him with fond exasperation. He plays her a few songs, things he's been working on just for her. And he also records little things to send her during the day, things to make her smile on her breaks.
Keyleth doesn't do well with the isolation, even with Percy as her roommate. She can't talk to Vax as often as she would like. But then one morning she finds flowers waiting outside for her that Vax dropped off before work and he sends her little things, so he knows he's thinking about her even if they can't talk.

Good morning! I hope you slept well and feel rested? Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day. Welcome to Too Much Information Tuesday.

The single biggest expense in the Lego Universe video game was hiring a team of moderators to detect if anyone had built Lego penises. Lego Universe was supposed to be the Lego MMO to rule them all but the PC-exclusive title disappeared from existence not too long after its launch. Despite the team's best efforts, their dong detection software just couldn't keep up with the sheer amount of inappropriate player erections popping up everywhere.
Okay, that’s enough information for one day. Have a tremendous and tumultuous Tuesday! I love you all.

Radius
My group decided to tackle this project by initially finding a quiet place to sit down and observe the city around us. I was a little familiar with George’s Quay and so we chose that as our spot, and quickly discovered that we enjoyed the peaceful, secluded feel it had compared to the rest of the city during the day.
Tumblr media
Those of us from smaller towns felt that it reminded us of home. We dubbed our peer group the George’s Quay Binches (bitches + benches).
Tumblr media
After our initial sketches we decided to take a walk along the Shannon and explore some of Limerick, but used George’s Quay as our home-base. Based off this tour we came up with the idea of trail maps, like those found in national parks. We also found the commonality of windows in all of our sketches.
Tumblr media
We then created a viewfinder also including a map of our tour, with the Shannon acting as the window that those of us not from Limerick see the city through.
Tumblr media
Overall I was very happy with the work that my group produced as I felt it really captured the diverse nature of our group as well as the fun we had getting to know each other.

Elections 2024: Irish Independent has every count live blogs county-by-county updates podcasts and video
Using an interactive map, readers will be able to easily click through to see the most up-to-date results for the local electoral area. Voters went to the polls in the local and European elections on Friday Election 2024 The Irish Independent will be the essential destination for rolling election coverage of the local and European elections, including updates from reporters at every count centre in the country. Our team of journalists will be working today and in the coming days on all our digital platforms to bring readers the latest developments, results, analysis and video. After an election that the pundits have found difficult to predict, our top writers will provide in-depth analysis. And as part of the Irish Independent’s ongoing dedication to local online news, the app and website at www.independent.ie will carry rolling news updates from every county. At least one reporter has been assigned to provide continuous updates from each area, which can be easily accessed by searching for your county on the app/website. Party leaders vote in local and European elections Using an interactive map, readers can easily click through it to see the most up-to-date results for all local electoral areas. The coverage starts on Saturday with boxes opening at 9am so that count staff can begin the mammoth task of separating local votes from those cast in the European elections. Voters in Limerick also had a third ballot paper for the country’s first directly-elected mayor. Our live blog will bring together tallies as the morning develops, with the first counts in the local elections likely to land in the early evening. Readers can also expect tallies to give a good indication of how the main parties have fared in the European elections as Saturday goes on – but the results of the first count cannot be announced until 10pm on Sunday night. This is to allow voting end in other EU countries. Counting in the Limerick mayoral elections will start on Monday. As the political trends are revealed, the likely fallout from the election will be analysed online and in the Sunday Independent and Irish Independent in print. On Monday, The Indo Daily podcast will assess the mood of the nation. Editor-in-chief of Mediahuis Ireland, Cormac Bourke, said: “With a general election looming and difficult topics being debated, this campaign has felt different from what has gone before. The outcome will have major implications for every town in Ireland and we want to make sure all our readers in every corner of the country know what it means for them.” Source link via The Novum Times

Part 2 of our Ireland & German adventure
Day 4 continues with a lunch stopped in the town Derry/londonderry for lunch.
In Derry/londonderry we headed to a mall for a quick lunch since we only had 30 min parking.
Tumblr media
We then jumped back in the car and made our way towards the Atlantic Way.
A 3 hour drive to the Atlantic way in Donegal then to our hotel which was 23 mins away back north at the abbey hotel in the town of Donegal. When we arrived to the Atlantic way it reminded me of a beach town. This was our first encounter of rain. It started drizzling, we just hiked up the beach to see the view but were unable to climb because the rocks look slippery from the rain.

In the Wild Atlantic Way, Ireland has one of the best road trip routes in the world. Coastlines and castles, beaches and harbour towns, cliff walks and abbeys, mountain ranges and rugged islands – all this lies ahead of you (and much, much more) as you explore Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way.
Taking in a range of cities and towns, stretching from Donegal to Cork. You'll also see many miles of countryside, weave through rural communities and even journey through Connemara (one of our national parks) and Skellig Michael (a UNESCO World Heritage site!)
Next stop the Abbey Hotel in the town of Donegal. Since the hotel was in the middle of town we had to unload quickly, municipal parking was does the road. I had to download the parking app in order to pay. We loved our stay the hotel had a bar restaurant with delicious food and nightly entertainment!
