ore here where the music originated from rather than after the song yeah the couple of songs that Elvis kind of were famous that he'd written himself and things like that but it's a lot of it is him being out and about and hearing you know black artists at the time singing this music and then him taking it on board there's a lot of stuff about you know when people thought he was evil and all this kind of thing rock and roll was going to destroy the thing. The story is very good in it it's just it's been a bit Bas Lerman. But do we get an understanding of his journey through his health like say for instance because you know and maybe I'm a bigger fan than used to but like say for instance late in his career there's a brilliant live version he did of Unchained Melody he did it quite a few of his concerts and he's physically struggling you can everything else is gone but his ability to sing yeah but that's his last that was one of the last times that he ever that actual song yes when he did that Unchained Melody and that actual song I think is amazing because it blends from what I could gather it seemed to blend the actor with the original footage and it was very difficult this is why I think fans are like it was very difficult I have seen I definitely felt emotionally attached by the end of it because you just felt so terrible like I kind of almost want parts we slightly like that right where as I say everything seemingly was gone except his amazing voice and his famous piano it doesn't go through the minutiae as in the little detail of the you know the drugs and the eating and the waste you know it just kind of comments on it along the way and it's more the story about how he got to the point that that's where he ended up you know it's more about that it's more kind of about the archipelago performance of him in a white suit in front of the Elvis sign does that feature you know that's the kind of stuff I would like to see there's different things with that it alludes to things but it's a rose and it glances like it's in a very affectionate it's like it's a very positive image you get of Elvis and a really negative impression of the Colonel that he gets absolutely ripped to shreds in this movie he may be evil after watching this movie but Tom Hanks is terrible in it he's like the worst thing in it which is amazing is the prosthetics obvious accent no actually in the beginning it wouldn't be 100% that it was Tom Hanks in that I thought the prosthetics were quite good they were good too they really kind of changed his look in it but he has this accent which in fairness my vague recollection is that Colonel Parker had an accent you know he sounded strange in real life and then he was sorry but it felt a little bit sometimes like he was dropping you know the way he was managing to sustain it is it a hatchet job on Colonel Parker is this like people waiting in the wings to write this story to rip from does he come out in any positive light from this no no no I would imagine it's probably fairly accurate wouldn't it like from the court cases afterwards it seems to me but it's definitely a hatchet job on Parker he definitely got now it's told from his POV so he kind of narrates it so he sets out to justify himself at the start of the movie from his hospital bed from I think his death bed but he fails to do that spectacularly and the film doesn't play by the rules because you know it shows lots and lots of things that Parker couldn't have witnessed and didn't know about so it's sort of a fuzzy sort of you know what I mean which is okay I mean it's not a long film there's no doubt about that I'll start with you for a minute then what can you give it out of 10 now this is one of those films whereby regardless of what you say a lot of people go and watch it and enjoy it I think it's more subjective a film but the thing about it is it's not an unenjoyable film but it's the type of film that when this eventually comes out on a platform and people start watching it at home you'll watch an hour of it and then you might say oh sure I'll go to bed and I'll watch the rest of it tomorrow you're not going to be okay like it is an enjoyable film the music is beautiful in it because he had some amazing songs and you know whether it's him singing it or whether it's original artists and things like that there's some fantastic songs music in it it's just it could have been compacted down and I would have just liked it if it was less sorry before I get to you your biggest criticism is that it's too long it's kind of in Baz Lerman it's too sumptuous you know it's trying to be everything and you're kind of like oh I'd rather have actually seen the story right 08, 6, 6, 20, 25,000 I've already seen it okay people have been queuing out the door and anywhere that I've seen people talking about it they've talked about it in really glowing light so get those views into us as well 08, 6, 6, 20, 25,000 before we wrap up on this with Michael then I might as well just ask you what your marks out of 10 for this would be I suppose I'd probably sit around 7, 7.5 the guy that plays Elvis is really good I mean he's amazing in it and there's a lot of other good things to decide final thoughts Michael my final thoughts are before I give you the number I would say if I come in to you Greg and I start to tell you any story like something that happened in town during the week and I started off by shining a flash lamp in your eyes to get your attention and I pulled out a puppet and then I had a flip chart and then I had a little doodle that I drew and I held up my phone and I had a bit of animation you'd probably get annoyed even if the story I was telling you was really good you'd be like well Michael saw a post office and I didn't like the movie I wish I had I'd give it about 4 I just didn't like it and Baz Lerman he directed Moulin Rouge which is one of my most hated films of all time there you go did you like Moulin Rouge? I did like Moulin Rouge but again it was very long but this has the same kind of feel as Moulin Rouge but set in the 70s even the kind of colors that they use the tones of it the whole thing of it it just kind of that's what I mean by being fan because you're a fan it's difficult for me to get to the cinema I would love to when it's streaming you watch it of course I think it would be one of those maybe Top Gun would have been the other of the summer so far I would just write those two I might get to see Elvis yet you're going in with more of a knowledge I am but I don't retain information well I'd just be interested to see how some of those key I know the themes they're going to have in there and I'm just curious as to how that's all into one have you seen the famous Kurt Russell played him back in the 80s that's great I probably should lie and say I did because he probably didn't have follow up questions but no I didn't right 08 660 25000 tell us what you think I'm not sure if you mentioned it the last time you were here was the Lincoln lawyer or was it you that mentioned the Lincoln lawyer on Netflix I'm about three quarters of the way into that I'm enjoying it it's not going to be on a list or a god tier but if someone's looking for something that's not too challenging but also not completely unchallenged I thought it was quite interesting I think what's wrong with me is because I've read the book and because Matthew McConaughey is kind of iconic in my head now as being the Lincoln lawyer from the original movie but it's not I mentioned it to Katie out there she actually got sick in her mouth a little bit she she said it was absolutely terrible the acting was terrible I was like this is the same program did you not think though that the daughter is 35 I didn't pay any attention she was 13 I didn't think right okay doesn't look 13 but anyway she looks 35 but do you bring this up quite a lot it isn't it I know because it's about casting I think that's going to be my next I think she's so insignificant in the thing as a whole at least as much as I've seen I didn't really pay much attention I thought funny enough I was thinking his second wife and her current partner didn't look like a match to me at all so I do look at things like this no I know because he was again that's exactly what it's like in the book he's a biker she's glamorous yeah he just was the casting there they didn't seem to have any chemistry or something together I didn't even realize they were together until about four or five episodes but now I'm enjoying it I would recommend it one I want to see the Bosch connection we taught before I will get to it there's loads of books so they could easily now and it has gone down well so they could easily run a whole thing because there's a whole Mickey Haller line of books and in the books there's some connections with Bosch which comes out a lot because obviously they're in LA but there's different kind of connections that come out which they could totally pull into it what's that one on Amazon we watched the Tom Cruise in films it's in the same ballpark but it's not an action thing like Reacher is it Reacher is all about the fight scenes it's very kind of courtroomy if you like a courtroom drama you like kind of the but you know it's watchable in the same way I thought Reacher was very watchable yeah Reacher was great fun and I like things like the one of my favorite shows is The Good Wife and that's a superb courtroom drama series I'm all primed to enjoy Lincoln Lawyer we'll see what you think of it what do you think at home or wherever you're listening to us I'll wait 60, 25,000 if you're at work sneak your phone out and send us a text ok we are going to take a short break we'll be back with more from Michael and a couple of guests as well and your calls and comments after these with the mix of the biggest names in retail top local independent shops and loads of great places to eat it has to be Leder Kenny there's fantastic choice and value for money throughout the town and we'll see you next time bye so for a special summer shopping experience make it a day out in Leder Kenny see shoplk.ie all new Mondays at warehouse bar and kitchen date night bring your partner your mate, your bestie, your BFF whoever you fancy two main courses for 25 euro and selected cocktails only 6 euro with live music from 8pm every Monday at warehouse bar and kitchen main street Leder Kenny book your table now ok you're very welcome back to the program and we were caught short there a little bit but we were literally caught short that was very short that break where were you? we're back we're really getting way too lax today let me talk to you sorry let me ask you about what you want to talk about next I just was trying to find your list here and there's a few bits there and we haven't spoken to you for a while so we'll allow you to make the judgement call yeah I don't know to be honest I've watched a few things now because I was off for a little while and I'm actually really enjoying them there's a new one that's on called 10% which a couple of people might have heard about and I think Michael mentioned it in the past when it came out which was there was a French program that was on Netflix and it was obviously subtitled and dubbed and they called my agent and everybody was talking about it and it's about a talent agency in France what they've done now is they've made an English version of it and there was some kind of concern about what was the point of it the French one was so good but actually I tried the French one and it was a little bit French if you know what I mean can be a little bit heavy yeah they can be a little bit like that whereas I am actually really enjoying this new English version my cousin is visiting and we've sat down and watched it we've been very late all week every evening watching one of these episodes but it's all about this talent agency there's loads of really big actors coming into it the main thing people in it is Jack Davenport and Maggie Steed if anybody google any of them you'll have seen them in loads of stuff Jack Davenport used to be in this life years ago he kind of went to America and then he came back out of America I don't know what happened over there but anyways he's back not only that you have some really big actors coming in as the talent so you have Helena Bonham Carter was in it one day there's just lots of different people like that that you know from different things so it's very interesting to see them technically playing themselves as such in it and it's different things that are going on behind the scenes how to get the last one that we watched was the two actors who were friends and they had to do a love scene in the movie and how the agents are kind of rallying around trying to get them to do it but as well as being sort of it's not like sort of laugh out loud funny there's kind of like a dry humor to it that is just only half hours no they're not they're the full hour well full hours and 45-50 minutes like that's what they kind of count the full hour now really enjoying it now and I have to say it's definitely worth checking out it's something and that's kind of that's different there's funny in it but there's also like some serious story lines going through it and it's more like that they find themselves in funny situations rather than that they're being comedic if you know what I mean it's interesting actually you ask it about the length of it and all I do notice that Netflix now have a half hour comedy slot so you know how you were constantly talking about looking for half hour comedies they actually have a category for that so they've obviously been listening to the program well you are incredible this is it I have control of Netflix and made my reign made my reign be forever okay so you're giving it out of ten how much I would definitely give it like an eight and I'm only half way through it there's eight episodes in it I'm only four into it because it kind of just stumbled across it because I used to love Jack Davenport in This Life anybody was kind of in around my age we all watched it and loved This Life and he was the kind of the droll solicitor in the living in the house so I sort of went to it just purely for him just to see and I didn't particularly like call my agent but the English first and I'm very much enjoying Claire on Facebook says the Harry Bosch Nikki Hallily that's Mickey Haller I'd say Haller okay Lincoln lawyer books they're wonderful to listen to as audio books Michael Connolly he is my top crime author that's an interesting thing that I've had a very very difficult list of podcasts of books without falling asleep you know in a relaxed environment it might be different in the car but I just zone straight out like you find it very relaxing but it'd be very hard for me to keep up with an audio book I think unless I was listening while I was driving or something sometimes you can get them though and they're actually I find that if I'm listening to one person read it but sometimes if you can get them and they're acted out nearly you know the ways in there's like four or five people doing the different I wonder is that the way these books are recorded I don't know I don't know because I do find that if you're listening to one voice it can really relax you to a point of that you just fall asleep but okay so Claire are the books acted out as audio books or is it someone reading them to us as such okay right so I call my agent what type of a program is it comedy drama drama comedy is it I would say it's probably drama I'd say I would actually just call it a drama really rather than anything else because like I said it's not it's more just that like you know the characters can be very sarcastic and insulting in which case that's funny there's you know there's they find themselves in situations that you're like oh my god this is absurd but you can imagine happening with actors you know that's kind of a way so it sort of gives you that's kind of behind the scenes look into the craziness that is that level of show business okay dope you know Amazon is exceptional Beats, Reacher and the Lincoln lawyer I don't know if you could compare it to the Lincoln lawyer I think the Lincoln lawyer and Reacher are two very different programs but your to you isn't it Love's Jack Ryan Love's Jack Ryan I think it's a great show yeah I'm going forward to season three I went on I went on because I was going to watch it right now there's two series and all of the blue bars had been full so if I watched it all because my sister my sister used to sometimes look at my Amazon but she's unable to do so at the moment for obvious reasons or at all but I don't remember watching it oh you totally remember watching it I might have to give the first episode another go yeah yeah they went the two I thought you had watched it I had a memory of you talking about it but I'm not sure if it was at the end I think you're right but I might go for that again I remember us yeah we definitely had the conversation right okay so it's a mixed bag so far mixed views on Elvis from both Michael and Finula Michael really didn't like it at all Finula thinks there definitely was something there worth watching and also you mentioned their call my agent the English version that's on Amazon you're really enjoying that sorry 10% it's Amazon's English version of call my agent Jack Davenport Maggie Steeder in there as well the whole on Apple a lot of people get Apple for free with their phones and stuff actually and their new content is really like I love some of the stuff that they have is fantastic like for all mankind this is an old film this is something I watched about 5-6 weeks ago I watched this because I was watching the staircase and I've said before I sometimes have a problem with or I query the media's focusing on the minutia of crimes and the fact that you know sometimes you get to see it's like a salacious almost like intrusive thing that happens so I picked this out because I was watching the staircase which the original documentary was very very much obviously intrusive whatever 1951 Billy Wilder made this film it stars Kirk Douglas and it's about a reporter that leaves a man trapped in a cave in for longer than is necessary because it will make a great story it's a really really dark film it's bleak not only is the reporter absolutely without any redeeming quality but everybody in it like the wife of the trapped man it's a really interesting premise though it's a fantastic premise I mean I presume there's a meaning to it but why build the story around sort of you know that particular instance but I presume it all makes sense oh yeah well Billy Wilder there's two reasons there was two things that happened number one he saw a traffic accident in the late 1940s in California in LA and he saw somebody rather than helping a photographer taking a photograph or paper and that stuck with him that that was the first instinct of a person and that was in the late 1940s never mind what people would do now with mobile phones and in the 1920s in America there was a very famous real story of a man who was trapped in a cave in and it became a huge national story so those two things together Billy Wilder has done a lot like he did double indemnity he's very famous for comedies like some like it hot and he's he's one of those masters of American cinema today Ace in the Hole is regarded like the BBC listed it as one of the as one of the 100 best American films in the world can I just point something out here as well that film is 71 years old yeah the film released in the early 50s 71 years old that is worrying isn't it I know because you think oh it's about 30 years old it's a really yeah it's now regarded as one of the best American films ever made when it was released the critics hated it the public hated it it was a big box office flop it actually lost so much money that the next film that Wilder did for the studio they took some of his profits to pay for the previous film I'm able but in more recent years it's become re-evaluated I think a lot of the press reacted badly to it because the press is painted in a bad light in it I was going to say to use it because they didn't like the mirror being held up yeah big too much but it's a brilliant film it's so dark it's not just about journalists though it's about the human condition Wilder has said numerous times through the years he said it's more about the darkness in people that they will want to stop and look at a traffic accident to see what it is rather than help it's a dark film everyone's dark in it the ending is a little melodramatic for me for my taste it goes a little too far but I think it makes its points really well I love Kirk Douglas I've seen three or four Kirk Douglas movies in the last you've gone on a Douglas binge lonely or the brave is one of the great films I watched that recently but Ace in the Hole which I've never seen I thoroughly enjoyed it's on the Apple platform I think it's like 395 or something it's a really really really good film but it's dark you're waiting for this reporter to redeem himself and he never does it's not as a person has it aged well I think it's brilliantly okay so even those films definitely could I think if you're at all interested in as I say what interested me and why I went for this one is because I'm like we watch things like the staircase and it's not just the staircase it's the news if something happens if there's a catastrophe but the problem is it's not even there's a catastrophe if you pick up the son today or the UK son particularly or the Daily Mail the UK son will talk about that World War 3 is imminent yes and then you read three paragraphs and it turns out that that's the view of some person who has a holiday home in Sweden do you know what I'm on about like but it's the phrase oh my god right what you know and that's not just that it's all manner of things it's still I mean even the papers yesterday one of the broadsheets here I can't remember the story of the name but the story was played out you'd read the first two or three paragraphs and then when you get through it it was like okay so we're planning in an absolute worst case scenario but it was phrased to make you pick it up and read it and to scare you and then make we make you feel better when it was you know when you got into it a little bit there's absolutely agree with you and I've always like I remember watching hard news on Channel 4 through the 1990s and that was a show that examined the newspapers and examined it was Raymond Snotty was the guy who hosted Saturday evenings and he ripped and they used to take follow court cases against the tabloids and it was like the most negative negative things there were often lies but the bleakest things in this film Douglas is amazing Kirk Douglas is amazing and there's a great line in it and the scenario is that he takes a young innocent photographer under his wing and he's kind of coaching him through the movie and explaining his thought processes and my favourite line in the movie goes like this and you just have to imagine Kirk Douglas delivering this at like rapid fire and he says like bad news sells best good news is news. Yeah we're gonna have to really use our imagination given that delivery of that but thanks anyway for the effort. Ace in the hole is that anything that you've come across No it's not but I totally agree I think we need to start looking at old movies because just I was thinking about that and I know it's completely different but watching the Elvis movie I was thinking I'd love to sit down on this actually and watch an Elvis movie like one of his actual films. I was like why don't they put those out again The film was I watched It was a waffle dross I was instead of I was watching The Inside Man the other day it's a brilliant film The Inside Man it's on Netflix by the way it's not brilliant it's very good and then watching a lot of films from the 90s and all and I'm not sure if it's I'm harping back to the glory years or whatever but just straight up good storied films that make sense and maybe have a little twist towards the end or a reveal they just don't seem to be made anymore anymore and as I say I don't know if I'm sort of feeling nostalgic because I'm getting older but you do have to go back to like a memento for example or you know a 7 or The Inside Man or even Con Air do you know what I mean? It is but do you know or The Fugitive is it because I'm I just wonder where those type of films are we too too cynical for I think just say them is changed The Rock is terrible film but it's also brilliant Top 5 but it's also brilliant at the same time I love The Rock like even going back further I mean a couple of the best films I've seen in the last two months were both from 1971 and I raved about but I'm just saying I would go back I love a good black and white movie there's so many good ones but the question is are we being nostalgic and it's the same you know oh you know it wasn't like that in our day or genuinely is there less just straight up good films that don't have superheroes in it don't have dinosaurs in it I think that's the thing though I think the basic story whenever they seem to take a basic story like you've talked about a couple of them like No Man Land and a few things like that then they go arty with it yeah whereas back in the day they just told a really good story you know? Mission Impossible films, The Mission Impossible films the James Bond films the Bourne films maybe they are the films that I'm talking about that are being made I'm thinking it's probably not nostalgic because I was just thinking in my head here there's some recent films like Uncut Gems the Adam Sandler one and Gone Girl that I think are really Gone Girl is stands out and Prisoner's stands out there are a few of them I think they're still making them not I think they're still making them but cinema has changed that happens it's a big summary thing the mid-range films are not being made anymore as much but Netflix and I know we often criticise Netflix but it's actually done a lot to get those mid-range hopefully now I was hoping just thinking there is Coda now doing so well in the Oscars and that kind of thing is an unbelievable film and it's very much like a movie that you would have seen back in the day it's just a story made at the box office with all of its excess it might be worth googling during the break box office module would tell you that at a quick... does that iPhone 4 go to box office mode? could do yes but it was one of those movies where the store just a basic really good story iPhone 7 how dare you it is does WhatsApp still work on it? that's why I had to get this one you upgraded in order to keep the WhatsApp I did yes, my only way to connect with my fan base went honestly do you think you might be in double digits in terms of... 15 years I think it might be I'm doing an upgrade maybe I'll give him my... you're still going around with a phone without a speaker aren't you yes but it's a 12 two months so it's a 12 I mean that people can hear you but you can't hear other people that's the best phone ever I want that phone can I have that phone now? back after these when did you last have your intruder alarm serviced? intruder alarm should be serviced and maintained regularly in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines only private security authority licensed contractors can legally install and maintain intruders you can't do this you can't do this you can't do this you can't do this you can't do this you can't do this you can't do this you can legally install and maintain intruder alarms you are breaking the law if you used an unlicensed contractor and may also invalidate your insurance cover have a private security authority licensed contractor check your alarm and keep you secure for more information visit psa-gov.ie the euro millions jackpot is an estimated 200 million euro clear responsibly in store in app or at lottery.ie the national lottery it could be you you're very welcome back to the program welcome Michael McLaughlin from the Disappear Here film club good morning to you Michael good morning again yes you can hear me unmute Michael if you don't mind please sorry I am good it's good to have you on right talk to us about Disappear Here film club a brief synopsis of what it's all about ok so Disappear Here film club is a new initiative a new monthly film club running in Ishawn that has been in the works I suppose for a couple of years just trying to pull this together to make it happen so that there's an extension I suppose number one to the Disappear Here film festival that runs every September in Balli Lefin and that we have a way of you know I suppose just broadening the message throughout the year so that we are continuing to show films to in areas that maybe ordinarily don't have cinemas and ordinarily don't get to have discussions around important issues so this is a new cultural initiative for Donegal that's trying to spark debate in the community locally about issues global issues that also have a local impact and you know Changemakers Donegal is who we've partnered with on this and Concern Worldwide have helped finance this new initiative and I guess that's what Changemakers is all about is trying to promote sort of global development goals and their impact locally as well you know Yeah the second film is a documentary called Losing Alaska Tom Burke directed it, it's about 375 residents of Newtok, Alaska who watch their homes disappear into rolling seas as winter storms still their coastline and melting permafrost erodes the edge of their town and I suppose it's very real and it's rather quick but it's something also too that we're likely to see unfortunately along our coasts as the land is forced to recede by the sea for all of the reasons that are out there climate change etc. Is that like a perfect example of a global issue international issue but it's relevant to us as well? Like 100% Greg because we've seen it here in Ballyliffen we have issues around coastal erosion straight away we haven't had it over the last number of years where we can see it visibly day by day we've had a coastal walkway that was purpose built for our tourists and locals alike on the beach here been washed into the tide you have Ballyliffen Golf Club who's at risk of losing a number of holes and award winning Irish Open hosting golf course so we can see these issues it's not you know it may be happening more rapidly elsewhere but it's certainly happening here on the ground as well. Michael how do you prevent this being sort of like an echo chamber or that everyone who turns up to it you're preaching to the converted do you know what I mean and it becomes useful by the way social albeit talking shopping in other words that you're not reaching people I don't want you think I'm being in any way critical about that and if that's what it is that's perfectly fine too but I presume you want to see people there who have you know or maybe haven't made up their mind or maybe it's just something they want to know a little bit more about and maybe even becoming involved in the conversation for the first time or have their horizons expanded does that make sense. No that's absolutely right I don't think there's any point in an echo chamber situation I mean I think film has a great power to to inform and to educate and to you know advance and amplify ideas around around issues that are of global importance so I think the likes the way we do that is that we have a very structured approach to it number one we have we show the film then we invite the directors and we invite you know local stakeholders for instance at this one particularly we're going to have Duncan Stewart who is the RTE presenter for ECOI he's coming in to facilitate the post-screening discussion we'll have Rosemary McCloskey from the initially Rivers Trust, we'll have Michael White from the Donegal Green Party and I would like to think that people who come to this will want to be educated, will want to be informed and they will come along to hear what the likes of these sort of major players in these things have to say as opposed to coming to hear someone singing off the same handshake. Yeah exactly and it's 7.50 you pay at the door it's an aid of the disappear here film club filmmaking bursary where are the events actually taking place Michael? So they're taking place in the Market House which is a fantastic venue in Clonmanay courtesy of the Clonmanay Community Centre it's a new building that they've taken over it's been there for many years but it's now being repurposed as a an event space as a multimedia event space and potentially cafe as well so all the things will happen there over the course of the next until the end of the year I guess okay a great space a great venue. Alright well done thanks for that I appreciate your time and it'll be really interesting I think particularly for those who haven't interested in or want to sort of learn a little bit more. Claire said the books the Harry Bosch, Nicky films, books and who what? Nicky Haller. Haller and Lincoln Lawyer books they're narrated by Titus Welliver who also plays Bosch in the series I've read the books in the audio but decided not to watch the series I love Jack Reacher books too I wonder why you don't have to it's something you enjoy doing reading the books and then watching the series isn't it Oh yeah even sometimes I watch a series and I'm like oh I need to know more about it so then I go and get the book Oh I watched Quiz during the week as well which is a quite interesting program it's about the people that tried to make this show it's good it's only three episodes it does sound very good it's all based in reality I mean he's a famous actor the guy that plays just over it there's absolutely no need for it I love him is he not good that's the guy that's in Michael whose name of course I'll give you an opportunity that I like that psycho the son I just think they could I don't think he needed to do quite the impersonation of him if you know what I mean it's a bad impersonation whereas if he'd just done something close to it it would have been okay but it's old it's out a long time but yeah watch that I thought that was quite good that's what I did this

Facebook OK then it is time to check what the weather hasn't store for us for the weekend and into next week delighted to welcome back on to the program Alan O'Reilly of Carlo weather Alan a very good morning to you good morning Greg right OK a lot of people are expecting good news for next week but maybe we'll get to that in a moment what does the weekend hold for us weather wise in the northwest generally not too bad we'll have some showers later this afternoon in the evening and Saturday will be a mix of the odd bright spell and the odd light shower but generally a lot of dry weather so there might be the small little shower on Saturday and not too breezy temperatures getting only up to 14 or 15 degrees Sunday will see a few more light showers but also some more sunny spells a little breezier on Sunday as well and still temperatures topping out at about 14 or 15 degrees so not a bad weekend just not a great weekend I guess Greg all right and what are your models telling us about next week so it does look like high pressure is going to start to build it up over Ireland slowly so there will be some maybe showers on Tuesday Monday looks a dry day temperatures still in around 14 or 15 degrees but as we go from Wednesday onwards we then start to see high pressure building now as I say it will be slow and it's not going to be clear blue skies in a heat wave any time soon but it looks like that from the end of the week we'll really start to see some more settled weather obviously that far out it's a little bit uncertain so you do have to be a little bit cautious but it does look like we're heading towards more high pressure and settled weather and temperatures hopefully slowly picking up to the end of next week so it's it's kind of sit tight and hold on hope that this high pressure does actually come up over us and Alan do you anticipate it covering the entire country or might it stall stubbornly and frustratingly in the midlands or what what do we think might happen well it does look like it's going to approach from the south west and so yes it is a little bit of a especially for your part of the country up there you need to maybe have a little bit more patience but hopefully it will build in over Ireland but it could be that the south and east sees the best of it but hopefully hopefully the high pressure will get far enough to bring some fine weather to Donegal as well and you talk about a slow buildup does that suggest perhaps that this could be might more likely a prolonged spell of better weather or does the weather simply not work like that it doesn't really work like that but it can it can so yeah there's an awful lot of uncertainty around how long this will last if it does come up over us we're probably looking at five to seven days but it could it could last a bit longer or we could see a short breakdown before it re-establishes but we're into July now and July and August are our warmest two months of the year so I think it's about time the temperatures came up so hopefully it will come up and stay over us for a nice little period alright Alan on Riley of Karlo weather and you can check Alan's information out in the daily basis on his social media channels Alan thank you very much indeed thanks Greg take care alright nice spoke to Alan just a little bit earlier on so there you have it things are looking up it might seem Trem on now TV Trem Trem Trem Tremay sorry Tremay We were chatting last week about the wire and we were chatting about shows that the guys have done and we left out Tremay which is streaming four season show the guys who did the wire particularly Eric Overmire he started off with homicide life on the street he did the wire then he did before they did Bosch before he did Bosch he did this show Tremay fantastic it's heavy going it's a four season HBO drama series about what happened in New Orleans after Katrina and it looks at about seven or eight different people who don't know each other when the series starts and it tells the stories of these people in the aftermath of that disaster as they try to rebuild the city it was made it started in 2010 so it was made a few years after but it's set in the immediate aftermath is this the one that was actually filmed in the area it was seen as a big you know to support the area yes they filmed it in New Orleans and they went to the actual areas that had been devastated by the flood water etc it is a wonderful show I would rate it like 10 out of 10 I loved it for the four seasons it was on it doesn't have the same level of crime and corruption in it that the wire did and does and it's not a crime different thing but in the second season I think they bowed to HBO's wishes and they added a cop character and he dealt with corruption in the New Orleans police force and a storyline came in from season 2 3 and 4 onwards the show finished it wrapped up in season 4 so it was it was designed to run about 4 or 5 seasons so it's a full story from beginning to end it's a very emotionally involving character you know it's not necessarily happy endings as such in the traditional sense because it's ongoing and it is gritty it's gritty stuff like I mean you have a teacher working in a school with other privileged kids you have a woman who runs a bar and she's attacked one night and we see how her life is shaped by that you have a lady with a restaurant it tells real stories about real people it's an amazing show and it's as you say it is streaming and I would if anyone likes The Wire or you like Bosch or you just like the idea of a really... Really if you like Bosch would you like this? Yeah I think so Bosch is more of a traditional storytelling show but in terms of the performances and the fact that at any season a Bosch there's like 7 different stories running in parallel Tremay is like that and you get Kim Dickens, you get John Goodman one of the biggest stars and David Morse Stellar cast, Stellar show 10 out of 10 from me I don't think I'll be watching that one to be honest with you What about you Finula? I think I watched that when it came out originally that sounds very familiar to me and I don't think I got past the first season it was quite heavy it was a bit dark but then I'm trying to watch that we own the city as well and I'm finding that very hard I'm three episodes into that and I'm not sure Will you not finish it? Oh I'm never going to finish that again but I just feel that every time I go to watch it something else might pop up if that makes sense I don't know we've done a lot of years of that reality, police brutality Yes oppression and I'm just not sure I have the capacity for another one of those just yet of course it makes sense that's the thing about Trimé and me recommending it it's not a show to say you enjoy it is probably wrong you know what I mean it's so heavy and oppressive you get an emotional catharsis from watching it and you might cry in some episodes when characters die and stuff like that but it's not enjoyable in the sense that you would maybe chill out some Saturday night and watch it it's not that kind of show open a bottle of wine and watch this show about misery and oppression I just don't know you could do three now and three in a few more times but also how far are you into that we love the city I think I'm like three episodes I'm struggling and I see it is a miniseries too I was reading up and it's not to continue it's going to tell a story and finish didn't you like the wire either it was just too much for me right, pick something out for you to spur us to run on a lighter note just to say Brooklyn Nine-Nine finished and as I'm always searching for my half hour comedy and still nothing seems to have ever filled the gap but this is a new one that's out so Brooklyn Nine-Nine finished the people that made Brooklyn Nine-Nine have come out with this thing this half hour comedy it's on channel four it's called killing it might have passed a lot of people by but it's definitely worth checking in and seeing whether or not you might like it it's in that same kind of a flavor of Brooklyn Nine-Nine kind of a rapid talking sort of a thing Craig Robinson is in it who's an American comedian who plays Doug Judy from Doug Judy the Pontiac Bandit one of the characters in Brooklyn Nine-Nine he was in the office as well he's very funny this is very funny because it's set in Florida it's all about this man who really wants to become an entrepreneur this black man wants to become an entrepreneur doors are being shut in every way his brother has turned to crime in order to make his money he's determined that he's going to do it right and it's going to all come right from and obviously constantly things are coming up but then he finds out which I didn't realize until later on because it was actually on the news afterwards in and only in America and only in Florida there is a competition in which people get paid for killing pythons and the longer the you get paid per foot and the winning prize for the person who has killed the most pythons apparently somewhere in Florida a lot of lads had pythons as pets and when they got too big they let them free into the I think this is a Discovery Plus program of tracking some of the people involved in this python killing and every year Florida puts out a competition and the winning prize is $25,000 and this is basically could you raise pythons just to produce them every year? I don't know this is quite bloody and gory in some ways when they're whacking these things and they're massive but I couldn't believe it was a true story so when you're watching it you're like while you're watching this you can also flick over to one of the American news programs and figure out how the actual people are getting on at it what would you give it out of 10? I would definitely give it a solid 7 it's enjoyable I noticed we're down one viewer on social media is that because they're here? we've lost our usual comander Ursula she's the shy one and I'm really upset because all my aunts are like are you going to be on the radio? and how do we listen to Hyland? nobody listens to me we'll get her on by next Friday if she's still around and very finally welcome to everyone we got involved with Jive for June 84,200 euro was raised as of yesterday there's more money to come in there's 15 functions that have been organized and sponsorship cards have come in but there are over double where they were at this time last year 84,200 euro well done absolutely everyone involved in that it truly is remarkable and it's something for Ursula in a couple of seconds we're delighted to be involved it's fantastic to be involved in it we've got Ursula Jani Ghaul here abroad that fundraise for it it's an amazing amount of money all over the place thank you so much thank you very much Michael we'll see you next Friday well we're back with you on Monday


Today everyone role of I'll be talking about my study role of MD sitting evaluation of vasculopathy is causing CNS disorders in pediatric and in the patients. Introduction in children and in girls most of the stokers due to cardiac stroke and other matters diseases which but which it less than in the older age group in this presentation. I'm going to talk only about the aneurysmal lesions and all of them are diseases causing stroke. And I'm going to do some open for a 10 to 15% of hemorrhagic strokes. I'm going to talk about a 10 to 15% in other than 20 to 25% in pediatric patients on the matters of the vessel diseases can present as a mildly take to the stroke or ICH and it may be difficult to diagnose without imaging and I'm imaging also provides some lead to the clinician regarding any further evaluation like targeted biopsy or any biomarkers like CSF aspiration etc. SAH due to an assessment procedure can be diagnosed and treated clinically but use of CTA infant diagnosing and treating it to prevent further episodes, other ways which will lead to further morbidity and SCVM mortality rate. Ames and objectives process the use of MDCT in diagnosing vessel disorders to establish the effectiveness of MDCT as an imaging tool for the intracranial and extracranial vessels to determine the spectrum of radiological characteristics of different etiologies which leads to stroke whenever possible. Materials and methods, the study was done in Osmane General Hospital in patients presenting with the symptoms of stroke. By this 26 patients were included in the study who were showing intracranial and extracranial disorders. The CTA study was done in 128 slides standard. Initial non-contrast CT was followed by CT angiography. CT angiography was done with the formation of 0.625 mm. For this 60 mm contrast was used which is injected at rate of 3 to 4 mm per second and followed by 30 mm swelling flesh. The observations were characterized based on the part of vessel in one extent of involvement territory of in case of aneurysm, narrowing down the location based on the location of ACH, then size, position and relation of the aneurysmal vessel which is needed for the intervention. And also in case of ABN, the study was also correlated with the DSA to identify the feeding artery, training veins and neunidus wherever possible. Inclusion criteria. Patients with the same symptoms of stroke. Exclusion criteria includes traumatic patients, intracranial SEL patients and the patients with chronic cerebral failure. Results of my study were 26 patients, 12 were in the pediatric age group and the rest 14 patients and the ambulance. Most of the lesions were seen in between the third to fourth decade. Davy fistul and malformation cases were further correlated with the DSA to correctly identify the vessel and arteries and feed the training veins and the aneurysm sizes. And in case of asculitis group, eye resolution MRI was not opted for the patients because of multiple episodes in the past. In the pediatric age group, five cases, four cases of mya-moya, three cases of tachycarditis was presented and one case from each of AB fistula, which is a pylabipistula, one case of focal cerebral artery opathy, primary senus agitase, sickle cell disease with multiple basal collaterals and one from tibium splitis. In the young adult age group, four were off from showing AB malformation, four of aneurysm, which is mostly in the fourth and fifth decade. Two cases of spinal dural AB fistula, which is seen after 40 years. Two cases of connective tissue disorder and asculitis, which is seen less than 40 years of age and two cases of tibium asculitis. Discussion. A study by Amad Abdel Etal on topic of imaging spectrum of senus asculitis, seen sickle angiography can be used to evaluate both the vessel walls and lumen. And it also showed vessel wall abnormalities when there is no luminal abnormalities, which is correlated with the conventional catheter angiography. And it also demonstrates there is in the presence of aneurysm, ticani, and also carried assessment of stenotic lesions in large vessels. Study by Tarasova Etal in a Moyamaya disease show, CT is sufficient for ischemic or a meningic stroke. And particularly, particularly, it is helpful in identifying occlusion of stenosis in large infectious patients. A study by Eric Etal in an AVM patients show, CT if timed properly can depict anitis, feeding arteries and draining wounds. And it is 90% sensitive in detection of AVMs compared to MRA, which was time off like MRA, which was only 74% sensitive. A study by Mahesh V. Etal on intracranial aneurysm in MDCT for intracranial aneurysm, showed sensitivity and specificity of about 90%. And it also shows identifying multiple small aneurysm in patients with non-traumatic SAH, few cases. In this case of Moyamaya disease, where you can see bilateral isanoling, and there are multiple thalamorperforating and pile collaterals. In this patient with, presented with the SAH, there is aneurysm arising from the right internal carotid artery. And in this another patient, there is another aneurysm, sacular aneurysm arising from the internal carotid artery. And this patient, also we can see a small tiny aneurysm arising from the right posterior inferior artery. This is a 10-year-old girl, presented with a weakness. As you can see, there is a thickening and mirroring of left common carotid artery. In this case of AVM, in a 40-year-old female, as you can see the surface shaded display showing an AV malformation with a large internal aneurysm. And this male, 45-year-old male, there is a right paratoxapital AVM, but predominantly presenting as SAH. These are my references. Thank you.


So this is a documentary from vice news And it essentially follows Families with trans children who are forced to flee in particular the state of Texas because of the laws So let's go ahead and watch tell me when you guys are ready one two three All right, how we doing are we letting up? No Yeah, we went through everything and I told the kids to keep what they thought wasn't replaceable Or that they would need in the next two weeks and replace your bath towels, but you can't replace your kids We are gonna go right past a dolly would wish we had time to go We don't We did not have a plan until last night There's only three states that are safe for trans kids and their families in the United States Three, I know people think that there are more because there's liberal states But we need one of the states that actually has policies laws in place saying that they won't extradite Parents of trans kids When states like Texas come after us even after we've moved Families with transgender children are dealing with a lot They face constant attacks by right-wing misinformation in an ending stream of anti-trans bills and even death threats Did you get all this out here Caleb? Thank you And now some are having to make a life-changing decision Should they stay where they are where their work family school and life is and risk their child's health and safety Or should they flee? We spent time with three families in Texas in Arizona Two states with some of the harshest anti-trans legislation as they weigh this heartbreaking decision I started noticing the gender just for everyone. I was really able to play with toys It was really from the time she could talk. She was like saying things like I'm a girl or when I grow up I'll Be a princess and I'll have long hair like Rapunzel. We used to say like your boy, but you can like grow things That's okay. She was just always telling us who she was How did you learn to make friendship bracelets? So I first learned when I was Six and I went to the day camp and my counter taught me how'd you choose these colors? It's just the trans colors. So I was like, okay, let's do that. How am I doing here? Really good actually What's like making you happy these days? I don't know I have a few friends and they're nice and I don't know. I like swim. It kind of helps me I'm sad. I just go to swim and I feel better Coming to understand that our child was transgender was not something that happened overnight This was years of therapy and it was a very long process. She was like a very anxious Depressed weepy Child she would lick her lips till they were raw. She used to bite her nails till they bled and then once she was able to Transition it was like the lights which got inside of her. It's tansly me. It was It was like the first time we saw real joy in our child And this this is the same story that we keep hearing from parents with trans kids at first They resisted it. They tried to you know hide it get their kid to Identifies the gender that they didn't feel comfortable with but they always realized that once you let them Transition and at this age like we're talking about just social transition, right? That switch goes off to where they go from being this really sad depressed kid to just being so happy and that this is What Republicans want to take away? They want this kid right here to be miserable. They see this little girl And they think nope She needs to be what we say she should be we should control the way that she expresses herself It's genuinely so disgusting and psychotic when Daniel was really small He would say that he wanted to be Astro boy or a Latin like the He went deep in his voice the characters he identified with were all male when he went to kindergarten That was really difficult because school became very gendered for him he would come home and cry and Say he was afraid to die and we were like why would that happen I? Thought I was like progressive and hip I was like girls can do anything and he was like but what if I don't want to be a girl and I just didn't get it Right. I wasn't listening We're just kids. We're often reduced to just body parts. We have so many other parts of ourselves and a lot of Representatives and don't don't get that and how does that feel when you see the debate like going in that direction? I mean I just get Naturally just get grossed out. Yeah, totally Cuz I feel like These are we're just all human beings and these are other human beings debating on whether or not mind and existence should be Normalized or cared for Daniel's home state of Arizona already bans trans kids from playing sports and getting gender-affirming surgery State representatives have also tried to outlaw all gender-affirming care Which doctors say can be life-saving for trans youth Those anti-trans representatives saying that they want to outlaw gender-affirming care for youth like what goes through your mind? I get really freaked out. They want to like arrest parents or Like pediatricians with it or like people that are helping and I just think like okay Well, I don't want my parents to get arrested at all And especially because I'm like the kind of person where like if my mom doesn't answer the call I'm like, okay, why do I tell the police that she's missing? You know, but like this is it's not like just deposit This is not something that children should be focusing on like I identify with this because one thing that really worried me And I wasn't a teenager but when I came out in my young 20s or early 20s I was worried that like if my mom accepted me But my dad rejected me that I would lead to them getting a divorce or something like that Like this this should never be something that young people have to be concerned with and I was a young adult at the time I was in my early 20s, but this is a teenager who's sitting here worried Oh my god is my mom gonna go to jail and then you think about how many kids are gonna blame themselves If their parents get into trouble, it's just it's catastrophic and Republicans They know what they're doing like in this state of Arizona with a Ban on trans athletes in school sports usually that just applies to trans girls But NPR, I believe did a study recently and they found that a majority of the Republicans who sponsor these bills Can't even cite a single example of a trans athlete causing problems in their school So this is literally just about hate They just want to attack this community because they think that there's some political Advantage to be gained and it's genuinely nauseating In February things changed drastically in Texas when Governor Greg Abbott directed the state's Child Protective Services Agency To investigate families who support their children's gender-firming care for quote child abuse Texas law requires every adult to report these families from doctors to neighbors or risk criminal penalties It's ridiculous. I live in America and I'm having to make an escape plan I'm having to ask people if I can send my kid to go live with people To put her somewhere safe until I can get there and get my life squared away just in case I have to I mean that what she says right there. I live in America and I'm having to make an escape plan Don't ever let these Republicans tell you that they believe in freedom Because they do not believe in freedom what they're doing here. This is Orwellian. It's dystopian.  You know as my neighbor who's very pleasant to talk to you gonna decide that it's their job to mandatory report because Texas Every Texas citizen is a mandatory reporter here. It's wow What if they arrested mom? What if they took me somewhere? What if they forced me to be somebody who I wasn't? I always have these thoughts moving through my head like what if this happens? Should I do this should I jump out the window?  No kids.  We have a fucked up health care system That's for profit and in order to get any Procedure you have to have very good insurance and sometimes you still have to pay sometimes you have a high deductible.  I was in my office and I started crying as I close the door You know it Scared me So sad because I wasn't sure if we were going to lose Maya I'm not sure if it's something that happened, you know with us I went straight. He's worried about losing his kid because he took his kid to the doctor And the doctor said this is the best thing to help your kid and they demonstrably saw How transitioning helped their kid and for taking the doctor's advice He has to worry about losing his kid because republicans thought it was a good idea To make this a wedge issue I just I can't express. There are not enough words to express how loathsome the republican party is especially in states like texas and florida down to the thinking of the worst Maya was real scared right away. There was a lot of questions of Are they going to take me away from you? unreal What's gonna happen? And that's and that's when That anxiety you see it in her Just come back We started looking at her lips started biting her nails It it was all over again. We hadn't seen that in seven years How do you feel like you're currently being affected by the The state of texas.  They don't care if my parents get arrested for supporting me like I feel really sad about it like Okay, just the fact that the thought of killing herself is even on her mind I mean This just goes to show you how these types of stories affect trans children She hasn't been taken away from her parents But the fear was instilled on her because of the state And this was not a democratic decision. This is something that the governor did unilaterally So just like hearing the news that you are public enemy number one is Enough to make these kids feel extremely stressed out Mentally draining The decision that our family faces right now Um Is one that no family should have to consider we shouldn't have to Feel that we're being pushed out of the state. We live in we are now at a point where If things don't change, we will probably Have to leave this state Florida, texas and arizona mirror and mimic each other. So watching what was happening in texas Was terrifying We have all of our family and friends here. We have a beautiful community that we are part of Daniel would lose more than he would gain if we left this state Because my grandparents are holocaust survivors because my grandfather fought in the resistance My grandmother survived Auschwitz that language of calling on everyday citizens and mandated reporters to report Families with trans youth to the authorities felt eerily reminiscent of That directive from the nazis to report Jewish families to the authorities. This is This is white christian nationalism. This is fascism. Yep 1 000 where we're both ranchers in mexico and During the 60s and so I came here when I was nine years old There was always talks about if you get in trouble Immigration can come and and take you and not only that It's going to create all kinds of other problems for the family So so the there was this the stress that not only would I hurt myself But I would hurt the entire family We already understood what bias in the world feels like we know what it's like to navigate to code switch But it's not normal for us as americans To be saying that we need to seek refuge and sanctuary in other states This is tough. It's just Think about what we're gonna have to do think about leaving everybody leaving our home friends family Start a whole new life It just feels overwhelming. Yeah It makes me sad because I've already built built friendships And I family here and I sometimes I'll just have dreams like like My parents were being taken away from me because I was trans and then I had to go to a foster care And I had to move all the way to illinois if someone tried to take you away from me I would not let that happen. I will do anything to keep you safe and with us and happy I love you I think the thing that I am most worried about is will I wait too long? Will I not know When it's time to cut my losses and just flee For the chaplies that decision came in july Seeing the anti-trans threats building over the summer kimberley started packing before she'd even found a place to live I We just Passed arkansas and we're in tennessee now. We're in kentucky. We're almost in ohio She drove two and a half days straight to connecticut hitting just a few truck stops for gas snacks and naps We're back in the car four hours 29 minutes away from Where we're heading The night before we left texas that was the first time I ever really saw Kai just sobbing It was just something triggered her she started thinking about our chickens and What we were leaving I promise I promise they would have a good home with me The truth is it would be Devastate financially devastating for us to move. It's not just the loss and income. It's cost of living because the states with which Have broad protections in place and where we would be safe Are you know more expensive There are currently only three states that protect families of trans kids from extradition Connecticut massachusetts in california just last month dc also passed protections These are parts of the country though where the cost of living is up to 40 higher than the national average And that's on top of the cost of starting over We're starting from scratch beds pillows cover sheets towels blankets measuring cups coffee We should not leave here without having a way to make coffee in the morning When I saw the relief from her when we got out and the relief from kaleb A gigantic 100,000 pound weight lifted off my back Like they have been through So much the GOP has done so much damage to my family mental emotional damage Rent a new place It's not going to be a long season, but it's going to be a season of rest and renewal for us I've been sleeping with my mom because I've been so terrified I hope that I can sleep in my own bed calmly and peacefully I've been having all these nightmares and i'm hoping that Maybe since we're in a new place I can start fresh I can want so sad things to change in texas But still realize when it's no longer safe for us to work behind enemy lines We need to get some things right or I don't see any place in the u.s. Being The safe haven that people Think they're gonna have in their blue bubbles Are you seriously considering going there? Yes, I've already spoken to an immigration attorney and trying to Get things together in the event that we have to To leave which is very close. It's it's very close. You can feel it I think people need to wake up and help the lgbtq community It's almost too late We have some big news. It's almost too late for governor and governor greg abbott with 55 percent support He has been declared the winner Lots of texts and messages Good morning, buddy.  It has to lose out After the results came in we were talking to maya and You know, she said I want to move. I want to be in a state that They don't have to fight For my rights to be myself very sad We have to do what we have to do for for the family and we have to Car losses and move to state that cares about us Most importantly a state where maya will feel safe. She deserves to be a kid and she deserves to feel safe And she doesn't feel that way here anymore. So It's time to go It's wild to wake up and realize that in This day and age were essentially political refugees In arizona Democrats won big in the midterms a win for the true heroes who are staying put for now This idea of like states rights versus federal protections Like we should be weary of what that actually means because that has been used to Marginalize people since the beginning of this country We've seen this over and over and over again in american history.  We saw this with indigenous people We saw this with enslaved people. We saw this with migrant youth on the border and that is terrifying I refuse to to to live I refuse to To be put in a in a position Where I get I get pushed out of society all over again Our families already came from another country to build a better life here And we should not be uprooted from our homes We're willing to put everything in the line Every everything in the line everyone should be worried Everyone should be worried because if they're doing this to us Who will they do it to next exactly?  This is grooming. This is bad um, so that's where we're at and and the thing that stuck out to me is that um It could be too late like it's time to stand up for lgbtq plus rights If it's not already too late, that's such a huge Thing to think about because I mean think of how far we've gone when you're investigating Families with trans kids and they're literally forced to flee That's when I feel like you've crossed the rubicon right and that lady made a great point about state's rights like state's rights to do What terrorize these children and turn these families into political refugees It's just insane and one thing that I want to say is that somebody made the point Of um, I don't know who said it in chat, but basically it's good to know that these kids at least have loving families That's a really great point because without them it'd be so much worse Like imagine if you didn't have supportive parents and you only had one supportive parent um That would be so much more difficult, but because These parents have given their children their unconditional support I think these kids are going to be okay at the end, but for right now They're under attack and it's just it's it's morally reprehensible. So yeah, these republicans are sick And it doesn't matter like if you show that documentary To somebody like I don't know a steven crowder viewer for example They just don't care.  They don't care. They've decided that these little kids killing themselves Is preferable to allowing trans people to exist. That's where we're at in the united states Like this is genocide that we're seeing and People aren't going to wake up to it until it's too late.
