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...

So many celebrity RIPs this week. Learned to dance to Sly & the Family Stone (among others), failed to learn to harmonise from the Beach Boys (but still struggling on), had one of my best theatre experiences seeing Harris Yulin as Willy Loman and managed to say so to him in the bar afterwards ❤️

This is so bad that, even as an Irish person, it actually makes me want to create an AI Oliver Cromwell to oppress him.

There’s a big “Pilates Donegal” just outside Ballyshannon, with an arrow pointing at a big field, and that’s the kind of Pilates I can get behind

There are surely more great performances by Irish actresses in Andor than possibly any other show there has ever been (including on RTE). Three in main parts, two fleetingly in the second season. All excellent 🇮🇪👏🎉

Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Tina Satchwell following today’s verdict in the trial for her horrendous murder, and for all they have had to endure over the past number of years. After years without answers, we hope that the verdict finally gives her family a sense of justice.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for nine days. What the HELL? 1/

Unsurprised that three of the four partners who are leaving are women. If you had to work twice as hard in a male dominated field to get to the top, you are even less impressed and intimidated by someone as pathetic and childish as Donald Trump

This is true of EVERY ISSUE the Irish government faces - housing, health, the Gaza genocide, climate. They say one thing, and do ... nothing. Absolutely nothing about any of them.

I don't understand non-binary identities. Good news! I don't have to! All I have to do is accept, respect and support my fellow humans, however they identify. After all, I know who I am better than anyone else does. I have always found other people know who they are too. It really is that simple.

I’ve known Robert Prevost for years as one of the main figures in online TMNT fandom, where no one has a bad word to say about him. He probably won’t have as much time to contribute to Turtles wikis with his new gig but I though his choice of “Pope Leo” was a lovely nod to the community

Before they announce the new Pope, I’d just like to point out that there was a Pope Lando at one point so a Pope R2D2 is more than possible
