Ogham Stone β€’ Dingle Peninsula β€’ Kerry

In the graveyard of Kilmalkedar Church on the Dingle Peninsula, you can find this holed ogham stone.

It bears an inscription: ANM MAILE INBIR MACI BROCANN, translated to β€˜the soul of Mael-Inbir, son of BrocΓ‘n’ (Ogham in 3D Project).

Happy one year anniversary to this banger tweet that got so ridiculously blown out of proportion that it got us 70k wishlists in like a day

You're trying to target the minority foreign guy in one of the only areas of American life where black men genuinely have the upper hand. You're just a hypocrite.

lol that doesn't even make sense. This kind of petty, stupid wolf-crying just undermines the real issues of racism in America. It's crap like this that racists point to to ridicule the equal rights campaign. Grow up, son.

If you look at the Bronze Age assemblages in the National Museum in Dublin, they'd remind you of South America. Body modification, all that.

Analysis of over 3000 human bones from Charterhouse Warren, England indicated they were massacred and partly consumed by enemies, questioning the idea that Early Bronze Age Britain was relatively peaceful.

The Sandie Peggie stuff is such a great moment for nuking the gap between GCs' media presentation and reality. We had all the propaganda about her being a professional driven out of her wits by the awful trans woman and it turns out she spends her workday just yelling vicious racism at everyone

Just is what it is. The idea is to rise above our instincts, in my opinion. We'd be monsters if we obeyed them all. I think it's a waste of time looking for a time when there wasn't sexism, though, because I think that arose out of our apeness.

Watching with caps for a while makes you realise how much info bypasses your brain without them. Well worth turning on. Worth paying attention to at the production end, too.

Howard said β€œCivilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split” - there's truth in that. Dickheads abuse other people's civility to get away with their own incivility. This is that at an extreme.

Quotes from this pile of piss article from The Telegraph:

"The film includes a joke that compares the Brighton bombing to a sex act.”

"This is an insult of the worst kind to all the good people of the RUC and British Army who were murdered by the IRA.” - Nigel Farage

Which is the same as them using "British" and "English" interchangeably. Scots and Welsh don't do that. The Americans do, though.
