We've just gone through a Presidential election where the losing candidate happened to be a border Presbyterian - you are not wrong!

With you, sister 👏

Therein lies a mystery.

A broken umbrella lying on the street in Rathmines.

You wouldn't put a cat out in that weather.

This is wholesome and commendable. If you aren't watching A Muppet Christmas Carol on Christmas Eve up to now, please do so this year and now on.

Richard Moore is extraordinary. Blinded by a soldier in Derry when he was 10, Richard went on to found Children In Crossfire, an international body tackling trauma and poverty in conflict zones and An Crann a project to help people safely share experiences of the Troubles. This piece is very moving.

A typed hand bill, printed c.1900. Under the title “FREE PUBLIC LIBRARIES” SCHEME IN ST PANCRAS, opponents of free libraries in this central London region set out four reasons for their opposition.

1850. The Public Libraries Act means councils in England & Wales can now spend local taxes on libraries. Some London regions are VERY slow to adopt the act. St Pancras rate-payers object to “wasting” money on “showy luxuries”. Fifty years pass before a free library opens in the district #PubLibs 💙📚

Let’s be real: approximately ten seconds after you told Tolkien that Catholics couldn’t go to Mass because they were afraid of being disappeared by agents of the government, he’d be out there protesting.

They weren't kidding.

If people want a sense of what video and DVD rental used to be like, they should try using Prime Video where all the new releases are unavailable and you end up watching an old comedy with Rodney Dangerfield in it.

Tired & Stressed = Memory loss and overtalking for me 😞

More of this please!

Ireland here with a civilised approach to voting

Never trust a church that controls which books you can read.

The book of Proverbs tells us that fear is the beginning of wisdom.
Jesus shows us that fear is the death of love.

In the cross and resurrection of the Christ, love has overcome death.
Let us choose love over fear, acceptance over hatred, and in doing so, step into the life our God has for us.

You don't need AI to colour a beautiful and sharp Black and White photograph.

Wait, what, YES

If you missed Ian d'Alton's talk yesterday about '1932: Seeing the same world differently: Irish Catholics and Protestants a decade after independence', it's now available online at youtu.be/9oxWs0PTA1Y

Fontaines D.C. bassist Conor 'Deego' Deegan Ill has taken to his Instagram stories to issue support for Catherine Connolly ahead of the presidential election this Friday. "Catherine Connolly is the candidate of the uncolonized Irish mind; Heather Humphreys is the candidate of the mind colonised by Britain," he wrote in a statement posted yesterday afternoon.

This is just sectarianism against Irish Protestants dressed up in academic jargon

A Cadbury Snack Sandwich, made with Milk Chocolate, not cocoa mass.

There can be only one. Before M*nd*l*z messes that up too. Not my photo - have eaten any in my possession.

My Scottish wife thinks it's excellent as well 😃

Indeed. I'm a border CofI person,we have CC supporters in our congregation, and I'm not an Orange supporter, but I have close friends who are. Rural Orangeism isn't what the noisy ppl online think it is, but the interweb is where nuance and diplomacy go to die.

A tin of Club Lemon, today.

There are two God-tier soft drinks in Ireland. Cidona is the other one. #Spéirghorm

The stuff I posted wasn't the worst

Casual bigotry

A new and inclusive Ireland? #Spéirghorm

Christ on a bike. These people are utterly insane.

Robert Roberson's Execution Is Stayed by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals Mr. Roberson was scheduled to be executed on October 16 despite overwhelming evidence of innocence.

Thank God. A good start to preventing a gross miscarriage of 'justice' 'Robert Roberson's Execution Is Stayed by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals' innocenceproject.org/news/texas-c...

First experience of one of Dublin's legendary phantom buses. Half an hour waiting sucks.
