Isn’t Greece signed up to the International Criminal Court?? Cos as far as I’m aware there’s still an outstanding warrant out on Netanyahu.

It is reciprocal, in fairness- I got a vote in Ireland the moment I moved here. But yes, I strongly agree that it should be residency rather than citizenship that determines the franchise.

‘The most bitter news’: Iran reels as more than 100 children reportedly killed in school bombing The building appears to be among many devastated in Trump’s ‘major combat operations’ as long expected attacks arrive

The US doesn't recognise the ICC because every once in a while it likes to be able to commit war crimes with impunity. Maybe something to weigh up before booking that trip to Disneyland/World Cup visit/cruise leaving from Florida

Terrifying.

It’s an absolutely unhinged argument, yet another insistence that showing solidarity with others rather than prioritising the narrowest of self-interest is in some way naive, sinister or just a luxury the working-class can’t afford.

a college friend once told me a tale about a huge snowstorm that shut down Dublin city centre one night in the late 80s, so the last people left there were restaurant/pub workers and the Guards, who proceeded to have a huge snowball fight up and down Grafton St. How were there no arrests?!

So the Telegraph is taking this well

How does the UK govt know you’ve emigrated? I idly wondered that when I left - it’s not like there’s any exit paperwork! Zero inactivity on taxes, benefits etc would be a clue if someone checks, but do they?

I thought this thing was only supposed to generate jokey, fictional headlines?

target your proposals to the right publisher - look at the books you've been citing most, who published them? Look at their website, check their recent publications in your field, check their series etc. Half of getting accepted is pitching to a publisher who you and your book will make sense to.

Dublin City centre is also the only place I know that has a pedestrian fast-lane, which is the wide Georgian kerb stones. Only the fastest walkers get to use those, often for overtaking others!

But also, are they suggesting that still images of CSAM aren’t covered by the code?! Because that would be a fairly significant oversight!

If I didn’t know people had seen it with their own eyes, I’d have SWORN that was an AI video! Everything about it looks like he’d have 6 fingers. Never mind Róisín, did Baudrillard die for this??

It’s also countdown to the release of the 1926 census, on 18 April this year. Like many people I’m AGOG to explore it, our first census info for post-independence Ireland 🎉

Me too, which is why I have them all turned off for news. McDowell apparently unaware this is also an option for him!

thank you - I've heard of them but never seen one and didn't realise they're smaller. I'll have a look!

"woke writers such as Derrida"...that would be the Derrida who died 22 years ago, would it? Nice to see the Telegraph keeping as up-to-date as ever.

I'm not sure either - if it happened next week I'd definitely try this. But at the moment all is well so I suspect the price I'll pay for keeping this phone going as long as possible is that by then it'll be the last 13 Mini still standing!

this is such a thing, I keep my phone in my leggings pocket when I'm running, it's a major reason not to get stuck with a bigger one.

I shall investigate, thank you!

We’re a genuinely neglected market! You’d think there’d be ONE modest sized phone available 🙄

I fear this is the sad reality - I’m just hoping there’s something I’ve overlooked. I deliberately got one of the very last 13 Minis and so far it’s still grand, but realistically the clock is ticking!

#speirgorm hivemind: can anyone else who prefers a small phone recommend a replacement (any brand) for when my iPhone 13 Mini has to be retired? I’m only seeing much bigger models 😕

Highly recommend this exhibition if you’re in Dublin tomorrow- it’s great!

Huge flocks winter in Dublin Bay, and are a feature of suburban life - they especially like the grass on sports pitches, so the honking groups going overhead are often on their way to a favoured GAA pitch for breakfast!

Also, that account - at least 90% reposts of cute animal photos, and then a sudden swerve into “you and everyone you love should die roaring”. Very odd!

We live in an art deco house, imagine our excitement when we discovered some of the internal as well as external walls are solid concrete. Hanging pictures in some rooms is a major undertaking!

the state of academic publishing would be hilarious if it weren't so appalling.

I know, right? Many a happy hour, though!
