Ha Emphyrio, my thoughts exactly upon reading the first couple of paragraphs.. 

[Caomhaoin]

He's position in the gender 'pay gap' is straightforward. That is, sexism is not the principal or even one of the causes, and most of those who shout loudest about it, do not consider other (i.e the real) factors.

It is absolutely the gards that are causing the fuss at the protests.
Sure all you have to do is compare the recent Dublin protest, where they blocked the road to stop a peaceful march, causing all hell to break loose, to the recent Cork protest, where the protesters were allowed have their march, and the event passed off peacefully.
If one were cynical (which I am), one would be inclined to think the actions of the gards in Dublin were intentionally designed to provoke a response and in doing so, discredit the  anti-restrictions movement.

Reminded me of this:

I've no idea who your man is, so can't be sure he's not a bit of a looper. It's a strange set of events all the same.

He could not have been any clearer on the fact. So very tired of the JP debate as it always became a polarisation beyond anything that was actually being said.

Before I read past this part...

"Then, try to restate your platitude using as many words as possible, as unintelligibly as possible, while never repeating yourself exactly. Use highly technical language drawn from many different academic disciplines, so that no one person will ever have adequate training to fully evaluate your work."

Is he referring to you or Peterson? 

Remember they used have the headline quote on the old metalireland website?  Sorry Chris man

I saw that, too. Certainly an odd one. Speaking of police agitating, there are some very interesting videos doing the rounds of Dutch police and their peaceful manner in dealing with dangerous protesters. One here but loads and loads more. https://twitter.com/i/status/1371198153513267203

I think some of the police are enjoying it a bit too much. Not all are bad, but like any walk of life the herd mentality often kicks in.

Oliver is actually worse than Carlson but they are both fried fools. He makes himself look like a complete cunt there with that critique. Well no, not really more than he already was. Reminds me of the sort of Joe.ie Irishman that has become popular over the last decade or so. Got 8 minutes into it and couldn't be dealing with him any more. No wonder traditional television is dying.

[Kurt Cocaine]

John Oliver. Jubus wept, what a thoroughly annoying cnut.

[Caomhaoin]

Take out the laughter track and he seems like the the un-funniest, how-did-this-spa-get-this-job fool on the planet.

At least you can get a genuine laugh out of Tucker, especially when he used to have guests on.

Calls for Bill Burr to be cancelled (I hate that term) after making a joke while presenting at The Grammys. 

After walking onstage to piano music to announce the Latino winners, Burr said, "Was I the only one that wanted to kill himself during that piano solo? I bought a suit for this. I thought I was going to be on TV. I'm such a moron. I'm losing so much money. I came here to meet Don Dokken, that was my first ever gig. He's not here. The feminists are going nuts. Why is the cis-white male doing all this Latino stuff."

Social media dwellers with 117 followers wonder "Why is Bill Burr even at The Grammys" - then it's pointed out to them that he's nominated for best comedy album.

"Bill Burr is the perfect example of why white men need to be kept in cages"

"Bill Bur is not funny. What he said wasn't funny. He said something triggering"

"Ban Bill Burr. Actually just ban white men. A disgrace"

Twitter spirals into a shit fit and hate hurricane when the righteous and innocent "discover" that Bill Burr's wife with whom he has two kids is, GASP!, a black woman. And that a white man marrying a black woman makes him even MORE of a racist.

Christ almighty.

I haven't heard what Bill Burr has said in retort - if anything at all yet - but you can bet your bollix it'll be good.

[StoutAndAle]

I found Bill's wife, Nia Hill's, response...

[open face surgery]

Jesus fuckin christ. Some neck to then say oh but I wasn't talking about you or Bill.

[open face surgery]

Why isn't that cunt getting cancelled? He is backhandedly calling BB a racist and his wife a sex slave.

[Eoin McLove]

Such incomprehensible levels of retardation.
