Opposition TDs demand full ban on therapy notes in court Therapists do not condone "retraumatising" victims of sexual abuse through the use of counselling notes in criminal trials, the Dáil has been told.

Therapists do not condone "retraumatising" victims of sexual abuse through the use of counselling notes in criminal trials, the Dáil has been told.

We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false. That the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient. That trade rules were enforced asymmetrically. And we knew that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused or the victim.

This fiction was useful. And American hegemony, in particular, helped provide public goods: open sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security and support for frameworks for resolving disputes. So, we placed the sign in the window. We participated in the rituals. And we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality. This bargain no longer works.

In the face of European leader after European leader meekly invoking “rules-based order”, “international law”, “closely monitoring”, “the UN Charter”…

It’s almost alien to see someone say “yeah, no, that was a lie and we all knew it.”

A new low.

Thank you! And here’s the 🍊 ice cream recipe www.nigella.com/recipes/no-c...

No, I will not “shut up” about “AI” being an ecology-wrecking fascist grift, and honestly I judge anyone who asks me to do so.

"Oppression" - Tibet?

"Lot of people being killed" - Uyghur rights violations found by UN report 'may constitute crime against humanity.'

"Freedom of speech" - Arrest of journalists, activists and opposition figures in Hong Kong.

Saidléar: 'The corporations behind those AIs are complicit in these crimes if they do not have the adequate controls...

'These nudification functions of AI, together with other nudify apps, seem to serve little rational purpose other than to allow predators to abuse women and children online.'

President Catherine Connolly has welcomed Greta Thunberg to Áras an Uachtaráin on a courtesy call.

The Swedish activist is in Dublin for a fundraiser for Palestinian relief at Bohemian Football Club this week.

On the crapiest 💩of days this has given me some hope . Catherine Connolly not afraid of ruffling a few establishment feathers 🪶.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you’re under no obligation to justify yourself to anyone if you decide to spend the entire day reading books and eating cinnamon rolls.

Luscious Vegan Gingerbread I am preposterously proud of this squidgy gingerbread, and I don't mind who knows it. It's everything you want out of a gingerbread — sticky, spicy, deeply aromatic — and you would never miss the butt...

I so adore #RecipeOfTheDay, it’s hard not to sound unattractively boastful when I talk about it. But truly, this Luscious Vegan Gingerbread does have something miraculous about it. It’s dark, sumptuous, squidgy and simply divine – I named it luscious for a reason! www.nigella.com/recipes/lusc...

Somehow this victory feels hollow.
Vile behaviour on many sides has been rewarded.
Celbridge is damaged by the actions of many people in this dispute .

I’m sure we will get over it . I’m glad I won’t have to walk past the gobshites at the gate to access Castletown any more.

While I’m happy there is a resolution this shows that intimidation and land hoarding works .

The developer has made a huge profit , paid for by the taxpayers, and the community which has been vitriolic towards each other and OPW workers will claim a moral victory.

Yiz are tone deaf …

Touched a nerve did it Christopher? Rather than ranting maybe reflect .

Text says: Alan. What a moment. We can't tell you how grateful we are. We've adored watching you over the last three weeks, all the most so with that glimmer of hope that if you did win, it might just means something big for our small charity. And you did it. As our faithful Patron for 9 years, your commitment, compassion and drive to bring hope to children and families gacing this agressive cancer have been nothing short of transformational. As a small charity with a big mission, you know how much this means to us. For many years we've known you to be generous, warm, empathic and unfalteringly kind, and we're so pleased that the nation agrees with us on that. Now we promise to do you proud. Our commitment to you is that through research, we will find better treatments and ultimately a cure for every child facing Neuroblastoma. Alan, thank you.

Lovely message from @neuroblastomauk.bsky.social thanking Alan Carr.
