When the moment came, Harvard didnโ€™t hedge or flinchโ€”it stood up. A reminder that integrity isnโ€™t complicated, itโ€™s just rare.

Learning goes both ways at Cork's Welcome English Language Centre From tea-breaks and chats to jobs, weddings and christenings โ€” the language centre has become a social hub for the students and the tutors

This is such a great project..... I'm very happy to volunteer there four mornings each week...

Huge thanks to Fionn Heffernan for presenting a cheque to Shine A Light - Suicide & Mental Health Awareness.
Fionn raised an amazing sum by doing the โ€œDavid Goggins Challengeโ€ - running 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours!! All to make a difference for those suffering with their mental health.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, youโ€™re fired!

New ride coming soon.

An outline of County Cork nearly covering an outline of Australia.

A map of #Australia with County #Cork placed on it to give you a sense of just how large Australia is. Not sure folks get how massive Australia is until they see it compared to Cork.

I'm so proud that the English Language School where I volunteer has won the prestigious Aontas National Star Award for Social Inclusion in 2025. This is a huge tribute to the team of volunteer teachers and to the students who are migrants and refugees from across the world. www.welcomeenglish.ie

A tweet from Ian Morrison, who has a Canadian flag in his display name, responds to a discussion about U.S. state additions. He states that it would add the "51st through 63rd states" and bring "40 million comparatively leftist voters, 52 leftist representatives, and 26 leftist senators," ensuring that "nobody like Trump would ever get elected again." He ends the tweet with, "Lastly, you can fuck right off."

I've thought that from the start..... it's a nice design, but totally confusing as to where you can legally/not legally park.

What about a 1,000% tariff on USA guns going to Mexico? That would sort out a lot!
