ร“ Rรญordรกin has been banging this drum for over a year now - Fine Gael's grouping in the European Parliament is increasingly working in lockstep with the far-right in the European Parliament and taking Trump's side on major issues (immigration and climate change, notably)

My respect for a bookstore always increases when I see it has a local author section. Big or small doesn't matter. If I see highlighting the voices around you is important to you, it immediately becomes important to me.

Open borders, or relatively open borders, have been the norm throughout recorded history just FYI. It's not a "fairytale." You just open the border. Easy.

Side-by-side comparison of the foam master sword laid on patterned red fabric: on the left, the blade appears pale blue-gray with painted weathering and cracks; on the right, under ultraviolet light, the blade glows vivid blue and reveals a bright triforce rune near the guard.

Close-up of a hand-painted foam Master Sword sword blade glowing bright blue under ultraviolet light, with painted crack-like details and a luminous triforce sigil near the base. The blade emerges from a dark hilt and rests against deep red fabric, emphasizing the magical glow.

Anyone else have projects that are stuck unfinished? I was so close to finishing this cosplay before uhโ€ฆ Everything. I don't know if I ever will now. But I certainly hope so!

So the party line is that it might not be illegal, it just didn't follow international law. Now I'm no fancy law talking folk, but I'd love to know the difference between those two statements.

To be fair to the Iranian regime, naming your ship after a guy who got blown up by the Americans and then subsequently having that ship blown up by the Americans is an incredible bit

Had a very productive visit to the National Folklore Collection yesterday chasing up my latest obsession. I've got some translation to do and some leads to chase up.

Nothing to see here just the Chancellor of the University of Limerick retweeting a post suggesting that those of us who campaigned for Catherine Connolly would have preferred Ayatollah Khomeini (though I think Shatter actually means Khameini) as a candidate... Outrageous stuff.

People sometimes ask why I left Twitter for Bluesky but earlier I posted here about being HIV+ for thirty years and none of the replies have told me I deserved it, I should have died, and angrily denounced how much it cost to develop the medication that kept me alive

We now know this attack happened because Israel had already decided to attack Iran and Israel asked us to join them....

I mean, the answer is probably yes. Kamala had no backbone when it came to Israel.

Guys, I'd also rather Kamala be in charge, but be so for real.
