This is why i know everything, and yet nothing…

Culture and Politics 1750 to 1900 (dates might be a bit off…)
Portrayal of ‘the nation’ in film (or something like that)
Histoire du moyen âge: Les Vikings at les croisades. Oui, en français.
International immigration
Modernism and mass culture (or something along those lines…)

😖

Neither of them are too hipster flavoured. But then I drink sacrilegious lattes so the taste may be disguised… There are some places I just stopped going to because the coffee was undrinkable…

Would recommend Legit, Meath St, Flower & Bean, Cork St - v nice food. Fumbally, Tang too but often long Qs.

A lot of those places are so metal rebar and sawn off wood that they’re genuinely uncomfortable and you’re in danger of getting a splinter quite apart from the sourness of the fancy coffee!

Being cold makes it taste slightly less manky I find…

I know I’m not first. But I’m so familiar with that view, I had to join in!!

Abbey Street! Roughly the view from the Howth road buses bus stop!

Simon Harris wants you to believe homelessness is about immigration.

It’s a disgusting lie to distract from the scandal of 3883 Dublin children in homelessness under his Government’s watch.

We will never tolerate those figures. Or cesspit politics.

Blaming the weather man for the weather while spending the last 4 decades willfully ignoring climate science to the extent we face billions in fines because of EU emissions rules. A government of out and out grifters and clowns.

If you ever get the opportunity to be in east Africa there’s an amazing (if extremely upsetting) genocide museum in Kigali in Rwanda which is excellent at explaining the Rwandan genocide but also has a huge section on about 5 or 6 other genocides exploring all the similarities.

Unless you stipulate that you'll have AT LEAST ONE HOOK on every public toilet door you should be denied planning permission.
I don't understand why so many Irish cafes etc don't have bloody hooks? It's winter, I have a coat, bag & an umbrella & I don't want to put any of it on a dirty toilet floor

Also my excuse!

Have you considered a change of career? We’d all be deeply grateful…

Briefly but in Australia not Ireland. It was delightful. I have never been able to afford it here.

‘Zehr vill be conseqvencez’ sounds exactly like something Herr Flick of the Gestapo on ‘Allo ‘Allo would have said…

I would say if the meetings involved were very structured and the attendees were good at being precise about what was an action/update it would be reasonably useful. Alas the meetings I generally minute are more rambling affairs…

It’s not even very good at meeting minutes, it gives everything equal weight. Part of being a good minute taker is not writing down the drivel that some people say.

Sign! For ECIs to be considered by the European Commission, each country must meet its threshold, for Ireland that's 10,080. We are currently at just under 6,000, approx 58%, so we need a big push! Belgium, Finland, France and Spain are there, let's get there too!

JUST IN: Lawyers file declaration in federal court from first-hand witness to immigration agents' shooting of a US citizen onlookers today. Minneapolis Mayor Frey said details would be used to bolster case for ousting ICE from city. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

An NYT headline reads “Federal Officers Shoot Person in Minneapolis”

It has gotten so bad that the @nytimes.com has stopped using the passive voice to describe the violence.

US court allows ICE to arrest and pepper-spray peaceful protestors in Minnesota

Appeals Court Stays Restrictions on Federal Tactics in Minnesota The Eighth Circuit granted the Trump administration’s request to block, at least for now, a lower court’s injunction limiting how federal agents interact with protesters in the state.

One court decision, two different headlines.

Guardian on the left, NY Times on the right. Which one more directly conveys information and the stakes to the reader?

Born #OTD 1931, Evelyn Owens was a true pioneer: the first female president of an Irish trade union for both sexes, the first woman to chair the Labour Court and, as a member of the presidential commission, the first woman to sign an Irish bill into law. www.dib.ie/biography/ow... #DIBLives

So is water…

Bingo

No I’ve never gone looking, I have no wish to add another recurring nightmare to the list 😂😱

And yes re witches!
