OK, we have now passed the 80% mark, and while I don't want to see any such lackidasical attitudes again, we can all agree that it's a good job done since Wednesday.
Now, to get from 80 to 100 we need less than 2k more. We've done more than that already, just from Bluesky #speirgorm
Easy.

Alison, sorry but that links to a different book. Also interesting, but it's the one on refugees I was looking for

Looks great - is there a link to the handbook somewhere online that can be shared with ppl not on Bluesky?

we'll agree to disagree on this one, Denis. I believe the tone of the piece was out of kilter, particularly in the wider context, and you don't, so vive la différence

am aware of news values.
Also aware of the propensity of Diageo to coopt national identity

highly recommend Angifi Dladla's The Girl Who Then Feared to Sleep, as well as Robert's own Down all the Days

Who's going to open Mam's presents?

It is point 2 which provides some sort of explanation (beyond pique) for this action.
Ireland, by default, is the anglophone state which says things which do not find ready voice in other states, or their media.
Delegitimisation is the only remaining available response.

OK, perhaps the full image does in fact come out!
Anyway, the light was lovely and about 40 seconds later it started lashing rain ☺️
