Scholars and art lovers from across Ireland, Europe, and the U.S. gathered in Belfast last month for a conference honoring the late S.B. Kennedy — a longtime curator at the @ulstermuseum.org and an art historian who authored the seminal work “Irish Art and Modernism, 1880-1950.” 🧵 (1/2)

Brilliant viva voce examination by Thomas McGrath - no corrections! - who becomes our Department’s latest Doctor. It was an enormous pleasure to co-supervise him with Jonathan Wright. And thanks to the examiners, Colin Barr and Roisin Higgins!

In fairness, I would too.

Une opportunité de travailler à Lisbonne avec un super collègue !

La Lys, 9 de Abril de 1918… Lest we forget…

Painful to watch the Taoiseach sit and smile while Trump trashes the European Union…

Trump’s hostile attitude towards Canada - neighbour, ally, Commonwealth member - demands as strong a rebuke from the international community as his stance on Ukraine (clearly nobody in Washington DC has the guts to do so)…

USA now actively aiding Russian invasion of Ukraine, forcing the latter to the negotiating table against its will and at a serious disadvantage. Sickening.

Resist! Stay strong!

Who spotted Amadeo Sousa Cardoso’s “Greyhounds” in Zero Day?

Could German politicians please sort out a government soon? Not a good time to be awol.

Why was Vance even allowed to speak, forcing his way into a conversation between heads of state? Was it an ambush, as some commentators say, or was he in a solo run, deliberately causing trouble?

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy.

We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Vance is the pits…

Shocked and heartbroken by the scenes from the White House. This is how Hitler treated the leaders of Germany’s small neighbours.

British PMs taking papers out of their pocket and waving them before the camera is usually a sign of appeasement and not strength… not a good look!

Those aren’t fish.

Trump and his American oligarchs are now openly aligning themselves with Putin and his Russian oligarchs.

This Putin-Trump alliance means abandoning our allies, supporting authoritarianism and undermining our democratic traditions.

The idea of Grossraum is back with a vengeance… Canada watch out!

Trump Suggests No Laws Are Broken if He’s ‘Saving His Country’ President Trump shared a quotation on social media, making it clear it was one he wanted people to absorb: “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.”

www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/u... Roger Griffin’s definition of fascism…

It’s one thing to say to Europe “you’re on your own”, quite another to tell it (in Munich!) to embrace its far-right… imagine Ursula von der Leyen or António Costa traveling to Texas and lecturing the US government on the human rights of migrants and asylum seekers…

Munich 2025 to eclipse Munich 1938?

And there we have it, clear as crystal: Europe - the EU and the UK - must look after itself from now on, in the face of Russian aggression and interference. Our attitudes to the US must change, and so too our attitudes to each other. A Siberian wind is blowing…
