Lyrics to this are just perfection. songmeanings.com/songs/view/3...

Mostly in this I see a clear reflection of the anger that has led to Trump in the US. We are on the same sorry path here unless someone shouts stop

We need to empower the people who remain and the untapped powerhouse of the diaspora of these communities where the generational wealth is not family trust funds or property portfolios but a long legacy of emigration, generation after generation

He follows it up with this article about ideas to replenish these communities. Some good but mostly they focus on making these communities more of a museum than they already are.

While it’s an excellent piece, it’s made me very angry. The casual mockery of rural Ireland and those from rural Ireland that’s become very prevalent in recent years won’t pass me again without being called out.

It’s also the most poignant piece that I have seen that forces you to see how communities strangled by the knotweed of Government and CoCo neglect for years are now effectively silenced from speaking out about being inundated with refugees without social or community support

This is beautifully written, outrageously sad and utterly enraging. It’s about Mayo and I expect areas of other counties which have similar sad stories of rural community neglect due to those who control budgets and power obsessed with building overcrowded towns/cities. liamalex.com/hollywood-an...

What recipe do you use?

If you read one thing today…please read this testimony from the first day of Ireland’s first Injecting facility.

Met a guy who’s name I’ve now forgotten because I’m so tired at the LINX party and he does mountain rescue there most years. From the UK and in the Mournes this weekend. Think maybe Ben Carter - maybe. 🤔

Fantastic to have Portia from Flexoptix speaking about a brand new IXP in North Malawi NOMIX - so proud to see that IXP Manager is powering peering at this new exchange. Congrats to the team. @comepeerwithme.bsky.social

Some of the changes that are coming with IXP Manager v7. This will be a major release for the platform.

Barry O’Donovan spreading the IXP Manager joy at Euro-IX Forum in Budapest. IXP Manager v7 is on its way very soon. #PoweringPeering at over 230 IXPs around the world. www.ixpmanager.org @comepeerwithme.bsky.social

Now this is good content.

The Euro-IX forum in Budapest has been excellent so far. Final day today. Excellent turn out and great conversations!

Great article, isn’t it?

I can see it having a huge impact on the data centre access challenges that happen at times.

Do you now have to get a new starter word?

He needs a new contract that outlines these terms

It’s a brave piece of work but like the planes coming back with bullet holes, who are the people that didn’t engage or respond at all as they have left the community entirely?

This reference to Jacob Rees Mogg is sublime.

Nine year old hasn’t cottoned on yet. When they do, I will possibly offer a BOGOF.

The 14+ year good run I had where I managed to keep the song with my name in it away from my kids has ended. One is now obsessed and sings lines of it randomly and then persistently. In unrelated news, does anyone want a housetrained 11 year old?

Wild approval here for this displacement. Been asked approximately 80 times in the past week for photos of Pom Bear and Molly

Helen Dixon in ComReg next year - I wasn’t expecting that!

That is very beautiful!

How wonderful to see this. Pure joy.

Lovely to have @nomisoria.bsky.social here in the Bluesky and she brought along @comepeerwithme.bsky.social …. As possibly the first IXP in the new party place?

😱
