Thanks to @journalofmusic.bsky.social for a nice lil review of our Plus Minus // Ultan O Brien concert last week. Fair play to Ultan & Plus Minus for such an enjoyable show… @ucddublin.bsky.social @cmcireland.bsky.social @artshumanitiesucd.bsky.social journalofmusic.com/reviews/faer...

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Day 1 of recording with Plus Minus Ensemble in the bag. Lovely to be in the Dublin Mountains with the mighty Spud Murphy at the helm. New album out with @nmcrecordings.bsky.social in 2026… exciting times ahead @ucddublin.bsky.social @cmcireland.bsky.social @artshumanitiesucd.bsky.social

Plus Minus + Ultan O Brien… one month from today in Dublin. Music by: Ultan O Brien (has hair) Jessie Marino (has hair) Bernhard Lang (does not have hair) Sean Clancy (itsa me) (has not much hair) Has @enthusiasticeunuch.bsky.social ever steered you wrong? billetto.ie/e/plus-minus...

Blogged: street protests aren't very effective, so perhaps we should consider other forms of political action: stumblingandmumbling.typepad.com/stumbling_an...

‘The proscription of Palestine Action crosses a new threshold. In the injunction proceedings, Mr Justice Chamberlain accepted that PA had not committed violence against any person or endangered life or created a risk to health or safety.’ David Renton in the next issue www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

🚨 RIGHT NOW opposite Labour Party HQ in London. We’ve turned their street into Jabaliya camp in Gaza. A genocide is happening, but the Labour government is supplying weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover to the perpetrator. Protesting this is not terrorism.

‘The willingness of the average British citizen to convict someone of smashing up a plane to prevent more deaths would be hard to guarantee. Now there is no need to worry.’ Huw Lemmey on Palestine Action, online early from the next issue: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Well done to Channel 4 for doing what the BBC should have done themselves www.theguardian.com/media/2025/j...

Congrats to the incredible organizers who made this huge win possible! We know that this victory was earned through tireless research, organizing, continued pressure by the Mask Off Maersk campaign, Palestinian Youth Movement, and global popular pressure for a people’s arms embargo.
