It was a lovely thing to see. Gentle but practical teaching

Still thinking about yesterday in the shop. I was struggling leaving with the pram & trolly. A woman whispered to her teenage son “what’s happening there?” (nodding towards me) then “now, what can you do to help her?” He whispered “push the trolly?” she gently said “yes, & if she says no, that’s ok”

I could eat 12 of them no bother

Made a hat for my cousin, her mum picked it up - as well as payment, she’s handed me a wee zip lock bag with 12 buns she makes. Shes been making a loaf of wheaten/brown bread, apple or rhubarb tart and buns every week all her adult life. Bout to make myself a cup of coffee have the time of my life

That Lilly Allen album is the emperors new clothes to me. It’s musically so so so awful wtf are people crowing about ?!

Israel has destroyed more than 1,500 buildings in Gaza since ceasefire Entire neighbourhoods controlled by Israel have been levelled in less than a month, the images show.

The genocide continues, in slower pace

Genocide: "Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part"

"[E]ntire neighbourhoods controlled by the IDF have been levelled in less than a month"

Did not know but that’s mildly terrifying

Thank you will listen tonight!

And the models that everyone uses to do the most basic thinking now, chat gbt, that stuff remains free? Or an ad driven drivel service that Facebook is now probably

He cites Konstantin “Rishi Sunak is not and can’t be English” Kisin for coining the term ‘woke right’ without ever breaking down how contradictory it is. Pretending to be amazed that the right lashes out with racism & that it’s as ‘bad’ as the left who want to eradicate racism is pretend stupidity

At least AI written pieces aren’t deliberately pretending that it’s common sense that people on the right aren’t racist and or pretending that they don’t understand what the word ‘woke’ means

Interested to know what people would who understand it more than me, think the bursting of the AI bubble will look like. Because I know don’t know anyone who in real life that is opposed to it. Which is just so 😳

Out for a walk on Saturday and remembered a time when my friends from Tipperary that I lived with in Cardiff, came to visit. I was driving past this view on the way to lunch and they roared “STOPPP! How the hell did you not tell us that THIS is where you live?!!!”

Joyce Carol Oats critique of Musk sounds like what would truthfully unravel my soul: receiving very bad feedback from a good English teacher. I’d die

Hi.

I’ve been editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue for the last 4.5 years — a dream job, one I never thought a Brown girl from small town Louisiana might hold.

I am so incredibly proud of the work we’ve done and what we accomplished. Our journalism has won major awards. (cont’d)

Clothes in the shops for the last 2 years have been beige, grey, brown black or cream. I craaaave colour (and set in sleeves for jumpers/coats)

Protesters lay outside the #COP30 climate summit in Brazil covered in white sheets, to call attention to the deaths of activists and journalists killed while "defending land, territories and natural resources."

Same thought for me as soon as I saw it. Always gorgeous

Not one to judge people on what they wear, but that purple outfit was so gorgeous on President Connolly today. 10/10

Can people call Irish, Gaelic? - IrishLanguage.ie In short, yes. Saying ‘Gaelic’ for Irish is ok and you can use it. That in itself doesn’t seem like a controversial statement but say it in Ireland or

reminder that those who complain about people calling #Irish 'Gaelic', rarely do anything else for actual language rights (apart from bringing this up). it also shows their ignorance. they don't really care about the language...

good in-depth piece: irishlanguage.ie/gaelic-gaeil... #gaeilge

A father and his one-year-old daughter were pepper sprayed by US ICE agents in Chicago while on their way to go grocery shopping.

The Panorama edit was poor journalism, not sure how it happened (more than 15 yo when I worked there we all had to go on a course because someone made the Queen look grumpy about something in the wrong order). But of all of it, this is the only piece I’ve read that properly nails the issue…

Really encourage everyone to read this. All of it

Have been sent the clip of Bernese Mountain Dog owners sending off Michael D twice by heart-melted people outside of Ireland.

What a country.

A question for certain people on the left: how exactly did you think rehabilitating that bald shitstain just because he was on the flotilla would end? Like, what was the expected outcome here?

Horrifically predictable- but there is no real anti semitism problem in Ireland at all according to prominent leftist twitter 18 months years ago

Social media is a bin fire but the “Christmas Chip, cranberry if you wish but the majority don’t” brings me such joy

This as not simply populism, it's an extreme assault on public institutions and structures. The last week has been about the BBC, but comes alongside mounting attacks on judicial independence/the European Court of Human Rights. Treating each issue in isolation will see them killed off one by one.
