I enjoyed this read from my former Council colleague Linzi McLaren.

The issue for unionism and indeed parties that designate as 'other' is liberal unionists are now actually beginning to vote nationalist. Long may that continue.

A pair of St. Brigid's crosses on a countertop, next to a mug. #SpéirGorm #SpéirGhorm #Ireland

For the uninitiated, these are Irish Throwing Stars, an ancient weapon wielded by St. Brigid during the 1916 Rising, striking fear into the hearts of the British, and responsible for the eventual smiting of both Cromwell and Thatcher.

Comically bad performance from Dalot. Poor lad can't pass the ball.

RTÉ to mark 100 years of Irish radio with GPO broadcasts RTÉ radio will mark 100 years of public service broadcasting in Ireland with a series of broadcasts from the GPO.

Sammy Wilson shows his support for Kneecap.

GRMA to all our loyal supporters for making the journey to London today to support us. 💚🤍🧡

The Instant Coffee Boom Is Changing Farmers’ Fortunes The price of coffee is at its highest in decades — bad news for caffeine-lovers, but good for bean farmers in Vietnam profiting from global demand.

Rewilding offers *so* much.

Perhaps above all: HOPE.

'Major' fire in Mourne Mountains believed to have been started deliberately Emergency repsponders worked overnight to contain the fire.

Anyone intentionally starting wildfires at this time of year, under the current conditions, deserves some time for reflection in a prison cell.

Big news from the wee six this evening

Morgana is rather brilliant isn't she.

We polled Nature readers to ask if they were thinking of leaving the US for jobs abroad. Three-quarters of them (who said they were US-based scientists) said yes. 🧪

Yes Rachel. Fuck em

An easy start for cutting Amazon out of your life is to treat it like a catalogue; look for the product you want then go and buy it from the website of the actual business instead.

Requires very little effort to make a big difference in who you're giving money to.

Another imperious away performance. Back three of Keeley, Quinn and Cooper all so solid. Cooper looks like a great arrival along with Lambe at right wing back.

Perfect goal from Warren Davis to top it off.

I'm fully convinced that if fascism had never existed in the past century and emerged as a new ideology today, it would look exactly like the United States in 2025.

Jennifer Coolidge is dead, long live Jennifer Coolidge.

“A colossal missed opportunity” - a clear message in a new report from from Ireland’s fiscal and climate advisory councils.

Instead of taking action to cut emissions (making energy cleaner & more secure, & diversifying farming) we face €26 billion in compliance costs to meet EU targets

The new government aren't wasting any time. Plans are afoot to increase fares on public transport.

Meanwhile electricity prices for some households will increase by 10% from April and Micheál Martin wants landlords to be able to increase your rent.

Heartbreaking. Still can't believe this practice isn't severely clamped down on.

The butterfly effect...

Powerful imagery from The New European. Atlanticism is dead (for four more years anyway).

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.”

There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

MAGA are mad at Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit for an official White House meeting.

Meanwhile:

Terrific resignation letter by Anneliese Dodds, this.

As long as Drogs Larger tastes like Dundalk fans tears then I'm all in.

That wee Jamie Bryson lad 🤣🤣🤣

Felt the warmth of the sun on my face for the first time in months. Goodbye Irish winter hello Irish springtime ☀️

Me every time I see a new government proposal to fix housing

More cabin based Airbnb rentals on the way...

Delighted to see the Fleadh will be coming to Belfast. The Fleadh is one of the most unique music festivals in the world. A real confidence boost for the city to host it.
