Great to have these videos up for those interested who weren't able to attend the conference. Keynotes by Prof. Eliga Gould and Prof. Nicholas Canny and a @virtualtreasury.bsky.social panel. Please share widely. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... @historytcd.bsky.social @historyatgalway.bsky.social

Tá ceann scríbe bainte amach agam sa deireadh: mar atá, an bhliain 1495. Tá cuntas fós le scríobh ar pharlaimint a gaireadh an bhliain chéanna, ach tá an chéad dréacht den magnum opus beagnach réidh!

This is murder on the high seas. All those who follow criminal orders are themselves criminals.

Oileán an Bhulla thart ar 10 a.m. inniu.

Russia is the world’s largest terrorist organization, Zelensky said after a Russian strike hit a children’s hospital in Kherson. The attack injured medical staff and young patients, including an eight-year-old boy. “Russia deliberately targets civilians and undermines every effort to end this war.”

Russian propagandists: “There will be no life in Kharkiv, nor in Poltava, nor in Mykolaiv, nor in Odesa. Those cities will not exist - nor will Kyiv.” The indicator of the Kremlin’s panic and hysterics is not his usual self. He obviously realized there will be responsibility for crimes.

Russia Today has welcomed the election of a president who is 'against EU warmongering'. Her comparison between present rearmament and Germany's rearmament in the 1930s was duly noted.

Ní vótálfaidh mé do CC. Ba mhaith an rud dá mbeadh Gaeilge ag an uachtarán ach tá baothchaint i nGaeilge chomh baoth le baothchaint i dteanga ar bith eile. Is cinnte go bhfuil speabhraídí ar aon duine a chuireann ath-armáil na Gearmáine sna 1930idí i gcomórtas le hath-armáil an lae inniu. 1/5

Chuireas lá maith oibre isteach inniu: tá Richard III sactha i bpoll faoi charrchlós agus Henry VII i gcoróin. Níl ach deich mbliana eile le scríobh agus beidh 'Luathstair na hÉireann' réidh ...

It's mildly irritating when someone sends a message in response to something they've seen, heard or read, but don't indicate what it was that prompted them to write. This message is an example.

She took her time:

Sháigh aire gnóthaí eachtracha na Polainne an scian go feirc in aire gnóthaí eachtracha na hUngáire!

Brawo Polska!

Iarradh ar na moltóirí a roghnaigh leabhair don eagrán reatha de Chomhar "na 10 leabhar ab ansa leo" a foilsíodh ó 2000 i leith a rangú. Tá an rud céanna déanta agamsa. Níor chuireas leabhair liom féin san áireamh agus chaitheas le tríológ 'An Litir' mar shaothar amháin. 1/6

Idirdhealú spéisiúil idir gialla agus príosúnaigh! Géilleadh do mheoin an bhodaigh?

The legend of the baker of Eekloo, Cornelis Van Dalem. Cosmetic surgery 16thC style. When unhappy with their looks people would go to Eekloo bakery. There they'd be beheaded & have cabbages to stop bleeding. The improved heads would then be baked in the oven. (Rijksmuseum)

An capall a dhear an coiste:

The latest edition arrived this morning. There's plenty to read over the coming months, but I'll start with the article on Éadbhard de Nógla's political verse.

Tháinig mé suas leis an eagrán reatha de 'Comhar' faoi leabhair Ghaeilge an 21ú céad. Thaitin an léirmheas a scríobh @darachoscolai.bsky.social ar 'Ó Chéitinn go Raiftearaí' liom. Níl san íomhá thíos ach an chéad leath agus beidh oraibh an iris a cheannach chun an dara leath a léamh! 1/3

Tá lucht tacaíochta na Palaistíne ag cruinniú ...

This isn't too surprising really: after all, the Comintern explained at the time that the Anglo-French imperialists had encouraged Poland to provoke Herr Hitler ...

Thugas cuairt ar an taispeántas dar teideal 'Friotail thar Farraige' sa Mhúsaem Náisiúnta inniu. Ní amháin sin, ach cheannaíos an leabhar. Níor bhacas leis an t-léine mar ní fear t-léinte mé. Is fiú na lámhscríbhinní luatha ó St Gallen atá ar taispeáint a fheiceáil. 1/6

🇦🇱🇦🇿🇫🇷 Albanian PM to Macron: "You should congratulate Ilham Aliyev and me. Trump has ended the conflict between us."

🔥🚫 The Moscow Times: About 70% of the downtime at oil refineries, according to the statistics agency Siala, was the result of attacks by Ukrainian armed forces drones: by the end of September, they had disabled about a quarter of Russian oil refining, or about 236,000 tons per day.

Na 25 leabhar Gaeilge is fearr le 25 bliain anuas - Comhar na míosa seo Seo na cinn a shíneann muid ag a chéile tar éis an Aifrinn nó amuigh ar an bportach, agus an léirmheas beag againn "seo, coinnigh í, bhí sí alright".

www.irishtimes.com/gaeilge/tuar... Is í an fhadhb i gcónaí, áfach, ná cad is brí leis an eolas fíorluachmhar seo ar fad a bhíonn ag gabháil tharainn go mear mar scamaill faoi shéideán bruithne? ~ #TitleyFáidh

Tá séadchomhartha réamhstairiúil eile aimsithe agam! Tá an ceann is déanaí i nGlas Naíon. Caithfear a admháil go bhfuil sé beagáinín níos lú ná an ceann ar Oileán Acla:

Is freagra ar chogadh ionsaitheach na Rúise é an ath-armáil atá ar siúl ag tíortha éagsúla san Eoraip. Ar an drochuair, tá Connolly dall ar impiriúlachas na Rúise. Bhí Wallace & Daly go dona in Strasbourg ach bheadh Connolly níos measa fós dá mbeadh sí san Áras. www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

This is Zionism in practice:

This is an idiosyncratic book. Described [p. 9] as a biography of Robert Dudley Edwards based on "his scientific methods", it might more accurately be described as a very frank family memoir that rattles several skeletons. 1/5

Is fiú go mór éisteacht le Gearóid Ó Tuathaigh ag caint ar a óige, ar an stair agus ar an riocht ina bhfuil an saol faoi láthair: ‘Tá na maistíní i gceannas, tógfaidh sé tamall iad a bhogadh’ tuairisc.ie/paiste-caint... trí @tuairiscnuacht

Belated congratulations to Professor Brian Ó Conchubhair, director of Irish Language Initiatives at the University of Notre Dame and a faculty fellow of the Keough-Naughton Institute! 👏

The Ó Cléirigh seminars in @ucddublin.bsky.social resume on 10 Oct 2025. Fáilte roimh chách /all welcome. And feel free to re-post.

Russian Z-propagandist Maksim Kalashnikov publicly admits that Putin’s so-called "liberation" army has brought nothing but destruction to the residents of Donbas and other occupied territories of Ukraine. "We came to 'liberate' Russian regions, but we’ve turned them into ruins.

The USA wants a faster genocide: Palestinians aren't being exterminated fast enough.

Lukashenko likes to think he's a great dictator, but he's only a little quisling:

🇺🇳 UN General Assembly overwhelmingly backs two-state solution and creation of an independent Palestinian state: ‼️142 in favor, 12 abstained, 10 opposed.

Seoid eile. Níl a bhuíochas oraibh.

Is sliocht é seo as aiste le David Greene ar 'Ériu', imleabhar 22 (1971). 'Na Gaeil abú!' atá i mó chóipse den cheathrú eagrán (1975).

Bhí "díospóireacht" faoi smachtbhannaí an AE i gcoinne na Rúise á moladh ag Catherine Connolly ar Nuacht RnaG inniu. Bhí amhras orm fúithi roimhe seo ach ní fhéadfainn vótáil di anois. Mura n-aimseoidh SF iarrthóir maith, ní bheidh mé ag vótáil in aon chor.

Cuimhní Alan Titley ar Dev: www.irishtimes.com/gaeilge/tuar... D'fhéadfaí an t-alt a léamh mar fhrithnimh in aghaidh na sraithe atá á craoladh ar RTÉ1 faoi láthair - sraith a chuireann scigaithris thuirsiúil smolchaite den fhear i láthair.

Thaitin 'an crotach ag rith' le Fiona Smith liom freisin.

Casadh an Daghdha orm i nGarraithe na Lus inniu. Is í Deirdre Groves an t-ealaíontóir.
