If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Legendary Derry photographer and writer Hugh Gallagher, RIP. www.colmcillepress.com/post/hugh-ga...

Just wait until the BBC, Sky, Mail, Telegraph, Express, Sun, and GBeebies get hold of this story of obvious and deliberate tax avoidance! JUST WAIT! <waits> <waits some more> <does today's sudoku> www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I’m excited to let you know that orders are now open once again for customers in Northern Ireland and the EU! Please bear with me while I get everything back up and running. I'm still setting up shipping for some products (it's a big job!) www.gailmyerscough.co.uk

A truly chilling report. The Israeli Defence Minister has is asking the IDF to draw up plans to force 600,000 Palestinians in Gaza into a camp on the ruins of Rafah- something he’s calling a “humanitarian city.” Once in they wouldn’t be allowed to leave. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

BREAKING: Zeteo has released, globally, the film the BBC so controversially refused to air. "Gaza: Doctors Under Attack" is now available to watch in full at gazadoctors.film and zeteo.com. Here's the trailer:

And on it goes. Israeli politicians using UK media to stoke up outrage around Bob Vylan & Kneecap must be laughing their heads off at how easy it all is. I think this brings the Palestinian death toll *since the Glastonbury performance* in to triple figures. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🤔 #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

You know what's "not appropriate" Keir?! Arming a fucking genocide... Fuck The Sun and solidarity with Palestine Action. 🇵🇸

We've plastered London with a few messages ahead of this witch-hunt. British courts have long charged people from the North of Ireland with "terrorism" for crimes never committed. We will fight them. We will win. GRMA to our pals at The Tenth Man for sorting.

"No no no you don't understand. I told the racists where all the immigrants were BEFORE they went and set that place on fire.".

I wrote for the Guardian’s Saturday magazine about my son Max, who changed how I see the world. Took ages. More jokes after the first bit. Thanks Merope Mills for being the most patient and generous editor. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Watch this... 👇🏻

Tá ár gcara mór Mary Murphy ar slí na fírinne. Derry will miss and mourn a wonderful teacher, actress and broadcaster. But she provided us such joy and inspiration whenever she was with us. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam uasal.

WHO’s emergencies director, Mike Ryan, sounds the alarm on Israel’s ongoing genocide operation in Gaza. Netanyahu has turned the strip into an open air concentration camp and is deliberately starving civilians.

I've signed this petition calling on the Department of Health to deliver the one million pounds they promised for the Northlands Centre in Derry to support their work tackling addiction - will you sign too? my.actnowni.org/petitions/gi...

Pope Francis: tributes paid after head of Catholic church dies aged 88 – latest updates

Perhaps the top person at The Atlantic was added to the Signal chat because those on the chat believed there was a person in charge of the Atlantic.

Heard it. On the day it was released 🙏 www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Pretty much sums it up

This is my final OFM column. Here’s what I’ve learned about buffets, ‘clean eating’ and what not to serve food on | Jay Rayner

Trump's executive orders, Musk's power grabs, dismantling institutions faster than anyone can track, attacking science, knowledge and international *cooperative* bodies and allies are all part of the authoritarian playbook. I've also grouped the actions in a table to illustrate this. 2/9

You may be looking to pundits to tell you where all this is going. Well, I have not a clue, other than US is nearing a constitutional crisis. And if so: nobody can know what will happen next. For that is the nature of any genuine crisis: it is a situation the outcome of which cannot be foreseen.

What THE FUCK is this? Even putting the evil of it aside for one second, on what planet, in what conceivable timeline, is this cogent messaging in 2025? Labour Comms is being run by six trainee marketers called APEX or VIVACITY, about to lose a team challenge on the Apprentice 2008.

Well known Derry TV producer Vinny Cunningham has sadly died

So sorry to hear the sad news about Vinny Cunningham. A real #Derry talent. May he rest in peace.

Recommend following @andycraig.bsky.social for liberal constitutionalist commentary on the illiberal unconstitutionalism currently amok in the United States. My sort of stuff, but over there.

WIRED continues to lead the reporting on what's happening inside the US government right now. A 25-year-old Musk acolyte now has admin privileges over the code that controls Social Security payments, tax returns, and more. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

The DUP has been slinging mud all day and questioning others. The Education Dept changed its website since this morning as it showed major works are those in excess of £500k - now no figure. EA has retracted a blatant falsehood about the pitch being out of action for 6 years.

Red-faced education chiefs make U-turn over false Lisneal College pitch claim The Education Authority has admitted to releasing a statement falsely claiming that a school pitch which was deemed a health and safety risk has not been operational since 2019. www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/educati...

EXCLUSIVE The Department of Education is facing calls for full transparency after £710,000 was awarded to a school in Derry following a private meeting with DUP ministers — despite it not making a direct application for the money. (Lengthy 🧵🙂) www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/educati...

I also can't recommend Julieann Campbell's On Bloody Sunday enough. One of the best books I've ever read about The Troubles or Derry itself. It bursts with the personality of the city and its people, living and lost; not just their pain but their humour, their dignity. It is a miraculous achievement

'Northern Ireland councils to get £45m for regional development' The Economy Department and Minister do an awful lot of talking about regional equality. It is tinkering around the edges so far. Take this one for example... www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/business/nor...

‘Astonishing!' Disbelief as every Derry city school seeking major funding in past 10 years rejected Let this sink in and think about how this is disadvantaging children in our city. When is Derry going to demand better?! Quick🧵 www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/educati...

"Did you consider the people who don't like chili? The people who are vegetarians? The people without tastebuds? The people who don't know how to turn on stoves? What about all those folks?"

The comments under this week's newsletter, particularly from people who changed their career in their 40s, are extremely lovely. In short: it's not too late. You can still do it iandunt.substack.com/p/happy-new-...

So, let's try doing #duvetknowitschristmas here this evening? People are literally Driving Home For Christmas right now, which MIGHT JUST mean that they'll be sleeping somewhere unusual. 1/
