Writers and works quoted in Irish Presidential inauguration speeches include (in no particular order):

Come To The Edge, Christopher Logue.

McAleese, 1997

I really need playwrights to take improv or at least study it. You learn right away that two of the laziest choices you can make are (1) to bicker and (2) to talk about things that happening offstage.

I promise your particular brand of bickering about things happening offstage is not interesting.

anyway wwwobble.org is very cool - a Downpour-like but on the web. and it's Olivia Jack who's working on it! (she made Hydra). and she's got funding for it! so nice to see!

Gross.

I'm very interested in good recommendations for #printers (or resources I should trust). Has to be #linux compatible and as little enshittification as possible: DRM-free cartridges; will print in black if color (not required) is out, etc.

Anyone know of anything good?

I've just received word that my beloved #printer (a Brother HL-2140) has apparently succumb to years and years of use.

This was a B&W only printer that served me well through much of grad school and into general use with kids.

You matter too.

Anyway, I'm super annoyed at Heather Humphreys this morning setting her prerequisite of being President as motivation to learn Irish, so here's a code 'creidimionat' to get my Irish language ebook of 150 resources for free. I've set aside 20 slots for that code.

"It looks stupid. It's a pinky ring. It's a man's ring!"

Fair. I rewatched the first 2 films and, for the first time, the entire rest of the series recently. I still like "Aliens" as a film, even though it's a different vibe for the reason you share. After that, I didn't really like anything at all until "Romulus". None as magic as the original.
