Referring to events in Ballymena as "disturbances" is a euphemism too far. We are witnesses to a pogrom. And it behoves us to say so, loud and clear. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

@squidgerugby.bsky.social Have you noticed that UBB formed as a merger between two local rival rugby clubs. And here they are in Wales.

All the op eds pointing out the malignant insanity of Trump, Musk and RFK ... like those guys give af. When the gang is robbing the bank do you think they care about the broken glass or the teller's life?

@nicolabrady.bsky.social Hi Nicola. The IT piece today [thank you btw] says there are no eating places locally in Ballycastle Co Mayo. There is, in fact, a fine restaurant in nearby Killala, helpfully called Killala Restaurant and an amazing cafe in Ballycastle itself.

Doing the bit I hate most about any project I do... advertising it 😅 The podcast should be on most streaming services now to subscribe to and first full episode coming in the next few days. Poor Peter went on a ride with who he was backing in the first episode 😆

This is truly shameful. Even China and Iran abstained. The US has put itself in the company of some of the worst states in the world - Russia, Belarus, North Korea. Hungary showing its true colours as Russia's Trojan horse in the EU as well.

When will @aerlingushelp.bsky.social website accept that Irish surnames like O'Neill and O'Connor include an apostrophe? It's in their name on their passports too. And why should that be a surprise for what was once Ireland’s national airline?

Memo to coders, devops teams, app developers and the like: Many many people have apostrophes and/or hyphens in their surnames. When your validation process precludes their use, you have failed to properly debug your code.
