Speaking of I.M.E.L.D.A. writes:
“One month after knickerbombing Taoiseach Enda Kenny, Speaking of I.M.E.L.D.A. have announced that, in their quest to creatively publicise the urgent need for reproductive justice on the island of Ireland, they next plan to visit Minister Leo Varadkar, Northern Irish Minister Jim Wells, Pope Francis and Primate of Ireland Diarmuid Martin – since all of these these prominent political and religious figures hold anti-choice positions.”
“With this #knickersforchoice campaign, Speaking of I.M.E.L.D.A. continues to subversively undermine the “po-faced statemanship” of Irish and Northern Irish politicians regarding the barbaric lack of reproductive justice in Ireland. The campaign achieves this by symbolically plucking underwear – and its close associations with the individual’s genitalia – from the private into the public sphere to highlight how governments and religious groups in the north and south of Ireland are dangerously intruding upon pregnant people’s rights to bodily and personal autonomy.”
Thanks I.M.E.L.D.A.

What you may need to know:
1. A low level tech in a large company creates the first Artificial Intelligence robot with the ability to think and feel. The robot is named Chappie and he learns from his surroundings, some good, some bad.
2. It’s Neill Blomkamp’s third film after the excellent District 9 (2009) and the awful Elysium (2013).
3. Sharlto Copley is obviously included. He is the voice of Chappie.
4. Copley met Blomkamp when Blomkamp was 16 and just finished school. Copley provided Blomkamp with use of his agency to help with pitches for various projects and computers to help Blompkamp with his design and animation work.
5. Die Antwoord of Enter the Ninja fame help to up the weirdness. Coincidentally they released their latest track Ugly Boy on the same day as the trailer.
6. Broadsheet Prognosis: The Zef is strong in this one.
Release Date: TBC

Off to a meeting in the school as the religion teacher spent 3 classes on the topic of abortion pushing the pro life message.

Had to write a note to excuse my 16 year old from writing a poem about abortion from the babies point of view.

He is also pissed off with the statements about the type of women who have abortions & how it damages them.

Enda Kenny and Joan Burton

It is fascinating too see All political parties, but especially the government ones, reduce this [Irish Water crisis] down to people’s ability to pay. The Irish Water protests are not just about money….I took part in Saturday’s march in Blessington [Co Wicklow] on a matter of principle [as I can afford a charge] as did many of those walking alongside. That Enda Kenny, Joan Burton and others of their ilk don’t see this is not surprising. It’s called projection. But I have a feeling they have underestimated us for the last time…
FIGHT!
How Many?

Fianna Fáil finance spokesman Michael McGrath
“[Fianna Fáil finance spokesman, Michael] McGrath said the number of Civil Ejectment Bills or repossession cases coming before Cork Circuit Court had increased dramatically since the beginning of last year.”
“He said that in the first six months of 2013 there were 44 repossession bills, which rose to 246 in the second half of the year and in the first six months of this year that had grown to 335 civil ejectment bills.”
There you go now.
