Frustration at delays to inquiry over Pat Finucane murder The widow of murdered Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane has criticised the British government for delaying the start of a public inquiry it announced in 2024.

The Trotsky Museum

Had a dander around Mexico City today. Plenty to see in this truly wonderful city. Included here are photos from the San Patricio Battalion Memorial, the Trotsky Museum, and the Templo Major.

It is publication today for Late Heaney I am told, although I imagine it’ll be a while before I see it between ice storms and the broad Atlantic. I thought I’d share a few thoughts about it, as it’s a different kind of book for me in form and style.

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

Not sure I can stand another 25 minutes of this Bolognese!! nails gone. @celticfc.bsky.social
