Credit to referee Barry Tiernan for acknowledging his mistake on the pass to the Armagh keeper inside the small rectangle. #GAABEO #ARMvMAY

The pathetic thing (one of them) about Micheál Martin's appeal to the Ó Dónaill and Dinneen dictionaries is that he clearly had to skip past "lie" to get to his preferred pedantic definitions.

"I called it ethnic cleansing. But when I saw the images of starving babies in Gaza I had to upgrade my language." By Art Spiegelman (Maus) and Joe Sacco www.theguardian.com/world/pictur...

'What makes Trump noteworthy is his refusal to maintain the pretense of a “rules-based international order.” Unlike previous administrations, which cloaked imperial ambitions in diplomatic language, Trump openly treats allies with the same contempt traditionally reserved for the Global South.'

The buying of more books than one can read is nothing less than the soul reaching towards infinity

"When the real opposition tried to object to this state of affairs, Micheál Martin described it as... a ‘subversion of the Constitution’. Sort of like when you take your child’s Playstation away because they won’t do their homework and they accuse you of violating their human rights."

Thinking of Ann Lovett today, ##otd 1984, 15yrs old & pregnant, she went to the grotto in Granard where she gave birth to a still born baby boy, she was found sometime later but died shortly after of hypothermia & blood loss. Her story shocked the country #speirgorm www.thejournal.ie/readme/ann-l...

A reminder that in 2010 the Bloody Sunday inquiry found - the killings were unjustified - none of the 14 dead (7 of whom were children) had guns - no warnings were given - no soldiers were under threat - the troops were the first to open fire 43 years on, we await the first prosecution.

Galway 1-4 to Armagh's 0-5 at half-time and I think Galway have only scored one point from play. Not a great game to watch so far, time to switch over to Tyrone v Derry.

🧵 THREAD: Our reporter spent the past year reporting inside the State Department, trying to answer the central question of Biden’s foreign policy: How did the U.S. let Israel get away with widespread horrors in Gaza?

Portaferry ya bottlin' bastards. Not really, immense performance from both teams but when you have a wee bet on the underdogs you get your hopes up. Go n-éirí le Sleacht Néill sa tsraith uile-Éireann. #GAABEO

This argument promoted by Keir Starmer's spox in response to ICC warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant that there is "no moral equivalence" between Israel and Hamas is - at best - a racist dog whistle. It essentially says Palestinian lives are worth less than Israelis.

As well as this article on bottled water in Spain, I've done a piece on multinationals extracting water in the UK in today's Guardian. It will go online on Monday and will share some of my FOI data then www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Is bean chróga í Nikita Hand, a leithéid de mhisneach leanúint leis an chás seo i ndiaidh gach rud a rinneadh uirthi. Nikita Hand is a brave woman, what courage to pursue this case after everything she was subjected to.

Cúl mór millteach ag Neil McManus le Ruairí Óg a chur ar chomhscór le Sleacht Néill ag an bhás Monster goal by Neil McManus to level it for Cushendall against Slaughtneil at the death. (Are there any #GAA #hurling people here on #SpéirGhorm #IrishSky yet?)

This is astonishing, sickening stuff. People in the most horrifying position imaginable, starving, terrified and fleeing for their lives. And he mocks and gloats at them. He doesn't see them as people. A society high on genocide and impunity.

'Hurling for Gaza' is an initiative by Gaels Against Genocide in support of the Gaza Paediatric Care Initiative. An exhibition game featuring hurling stars from across the country will take place at Corrigan Park this Saturday, 16th November, at 2pm. www.eventbrite.com/e/hurling-fo...

Māori MPs briefly suspended the Aotearoa parliament’s attempts to reinterpret their founding treaty in the most bad ass use of the Haka I’ve ever seen.
