ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available? It's literally called Library Extension.

You know where you can go and not worry about breaking the economic blackout today? Your local library! All those books and you won’t spend a penny!

David Frum sums it up pretty well here www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

Most of us are three bad months away from being homeless. None of us are three good months away from being billionaires. I know whose side I’m on.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

✅ DEI Job of the Day™ Levi Strauss & Co. Head of Talent, Diversity & Inclusion - GPO "Cultivating a diverse and inclusive workplace" "It’s not just the right thing to do — it’s a business imperative. We know that companies are stronger and more successful when they are diverse and inclusive."

Simon Harris agrees we should "introduce some sort of regulation to remove trees that are within approx. 30m of roads, power lines or communication lines." Christ. Just when you think it can't get any worse in the most scalped country in Europe, they think this up. www.thejournal.ie/labour-ivana...

I'm not enjoying it actually. Honestly, it's pretty shit dude.

If the US agrees to become our 11th province, we'll offer them many exciting benefits—including free Bhangra lessons for every US citizen, delivered with our signature Canadian politeness, warmth and welcoming spirit.

My DEI money will be spent in DEI spaces.

Trump II has begun. Many people are asking: “What can I do now?” Here are 10 recommendations. Please let me know your thoughts, and if you have anything else you'd like to add to the list.

Well the bird feeder survived #Storm #Eowyn #MetEireann Currently being g visited by 4 #Goldfinch

When billionaires take control of vital communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy. And when those billionaires justify their business motives by citing “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability. Don't be fooled.

Great read by Derek Scally in Saturday #IrishTimes I have read this over several times, and went down a rabbit hole of Gasset's century old writing. "Trump’s second coming has echoes of a century ago and Yeats’s warning ‘the centre cannot hold’ " www.irishtimes.com/world/2025/0...

What appears to be a #Blackcap is st my #bird feeder, enjoying suet balls. According to #birdwatchIreland these birds shouldn't arrive till April. What else might it be? #novice #birder Image here from Bird Watch Ireland. What I'm seeing seems less stout, more elongated, but otherwise similar

Jimmy's here in Heaven, and let me tell you, it's rare to meet someone who got the 'love thy neighbor' part so right.

The lovely liminal feel of those days between the 26th and 30th of December..... #sheridansgalway

If we were *really* serious about tackling nature collapse in Ireland (a very big if, I know), what would we be doing? A thread...🧵
