Screenshot of an X post by Senator Tom Cotton saying Iran has been an imminent threat to the United States for 47 years and that the president was right to act. Below is a Fox News segment with Cotton speaking while footage labeled “U.S. Central Command – Unclassified” shows a strike.

"The things that will DESTROY US are:

POLITICS WITHOUT PRINCIPLES;

PLEASURE WITHOUT CONSCIENCE;

WEALTH WITHOUT WORK;

knowledge without character;

BUSINESS WITHOUT MORALITY;

SCIENCE WITHOUT HUMANITY;

and worship without sacrifice."

~ Mahatma Gandhi

The title should have lapsed once Ireland became independent. Anything else is ongoing colonial bullshittery. Ponces.

Why would you be Portarlington when you could be Cúil an tSúdaire. The train announcement loves the "Cooooool" at the start.

Kafka understood that an even greater indignity than being turned into a giant insect was still being required to go to work afterward.

Eisenhower

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Spring is sprung. In the Solas Garden Centre cafe in time for breakfast. First craft fair of the new year. Feeling the energy of a busy little sparrow, finding little treats.

The real threat to democracy has been rags like the Daily Mail. That header at the top should read "make your brain three years younger - stop reading the Daily Mail".

Love that one of their Irish names is lil' Siobhán of the road, they just love da streets

Worrye not about 'being productive,' for thou art not a product. Thou art a star daunsinge yn a hopeful skye. A signal blinking across centuryes and worldes. Thou art a song performid just once and perfectlye.

Black text on white background reads: "Fuck the faithful, fuck the committed, the dedicated, the true believers; fuck all the sure and certain people prepared to maim and kill whoever got in their way; fuck every cause that ended in murder and a child screaming.” ― Iain M. Banks, Against a Dark Background

"The Jinmoti of Bozlen Two..." has been a persistent earworm of mine for decades now. Thank you, Iain.

Photo of about 30 rooks and jackdaws in a garden, starting to fly off.

We live off Crow Lane but it's actually a massive rookery over the road. Apparently, rooks like slightly stale scones. A lot.

Listening to this audiobook right now and I am catching myself snort-laughing on public transport. Great concept, delivered with nerd-satisfying panache.

History teaches us that the greatest harms often begin with the quiet acceptance of the unacceptable. I have seen where that road leads, and I will not walk it again without resistance.

A humidifier on the sink in front of a bathroom mirror. The combination of small "on" and "full" lights above a wide curved vent make a pleasant smiling face and on the back of the humidifier, which can be seen in the mirror, another wide curved air vent and the two screws holding it together above it make a horrified face.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Heard an interview today where a guy said (and I'm paraphrasing) "LLMs have had years to train on every aspect of chess, read every book and article about it, review every match, but when they play, they STILL makes illegal moves. That tells you everything."

And.

Yup.
