When you look at it like this you really see that Dublin as a Capital had nothing to do with benefiting Ireland and everything to do with extracting wealth to England. It’s like a funnel

In just four minutes this extraordinarily eloquent athlete explains the despair and the elation of professional cycling, all the reasons why we wonder at the powerful drama playing out on our TV screens every day of @LeTour. Thank you @matmohoric. – at Saint-Savin, France
There isn't one quote we could pick out of this interview to do it justice. If there is one interview you watch today, make it this one with @matmohoric.
On n'a pas su choisir une seule citation qui rendrait hommage à l'interview. Du coup si vous devez écoutez un seul interview en entier aujourd'hui, faites en sorte que ce soit celui de @matmohoric.

This is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, It cost €1.34bil to build and that was including reclaiming the foundation from the ocean.
The National Children’s Hospital built in the centre of Dublin is costing double that at least, We are been ripped off by gangsters.

This really fucking annoys me - it’s basic journalism to check that Tracy in fact got multiple plaudits & awards for her song at the time including 3 Grammys.
And you know what? Way back in 1989 her race & sexuality was not questioned once in awards season.
As Luke Combs's hit cover of Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" dominates the country charts, it’s bringing up some complicated emotions in fans & singers who know that Chapman, as a queer Black woman, would have an almost zero chance at that achievement herself: washingtonpost.com/arts-ente…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
"Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman was nominated for 3 Grammy Awards including Record of the Year and Song of the Year. She won for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Best New Artist.
She has 7 other nominations for Grammy Awards and two wins.
