I was so sad to hear of the death of Pat Ingolsby today. His shows on tv had a lot of heart and a streak of madness. He was a wonderful friend to children through his work, a philosopher and poet. Ní bheidh a leithéid arís ann

So sorry we've lost another lovely character. RIP Pat Ingoldsby.

The yellow route for the Wickham St to Clare St scheme from Limerick Council can’t come quick enough. The current setup is failing business, shoppers, drivers, and those walking or cycling.

I've said it before and will say it again -- the Trump administration is not acting like one that fears democratic accountability next year or in 2028. Draw your own conclusions.

Close up on Zelenskyy Run Curb Your Enthusiasm theme Fade to black One of the real kickers here is that Trump isn’t just a bought and paid for Russian stooge: it’s that he was so cheaply bought.

There it is! "Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt." He is referring to them weathering their collusion becoming public, and now is the big payback: together until the end.

Part of the lesson here is that Trumpists, like many bullies, don’t handle it well if you stand up to them rather than caving. If Trump or Vance or their supporters had any character this petulant display and Zelenskyy’s defiance would be humiliating to them.

If Europe is serious about all the warm words it’s fielding today, it will announce policy actions. The easiest one to start with would be an announcement that it will seize the European portion of Russia’s frozen state assets. Until then, it’s all just talk.

Syntagma Square is usually a lovely spot to sit and drink coffee while watching the fountain do its thing (I never got around to the coffee but drank a few cans of dodgy gin there) but, like all good urban squares, can be repurposed to host a riot at the drop of a Molotov cocktail.

Listen up, fuckwad: the European Union (EEC as was) was CLEARLY formed in order to screw… the English.🤪 But, hey, if we’ve done a “good job” (not that you’d recognise a good job if it snowballed you after) in screwing the country that elected a clown like you (TWICE): good, we’ll keep going.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

I’ll add to this horror story, I now know for a fact that they’re reverting gender markers in cases where an already updated passport is sent in for straightforward renewal. (Media can feel free to DM for details, as I’ve not seen this fact reported—it’s distinct from the Schafer case.)

Someone 70 now was born around the time of the Miracle of Bern. When they first hit voting age, after the Munich Olympics and the tail-end of Vietnam, Baader-Meinhof were getting into their stride. The original political opinions of some of those solid conservative Germans would scare Die Linke.

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.
