Today in 1641, a plan by Ulster Catholic gentry to seize Dublin Castle and various other strongpoints around the country misfires. Attacks on Protestant settlers break out, leading to large scale kilings. It is the begining of a fateful decade in Irish history.

This line from a Bruce Springsteen show has been on my mind lately, and I hope it can bring some comfort to anyone who needs it: "The grief that we feel when our loved ones leave us is just the price that we pay for having loved well."

died aged 81. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings is the best-selling book of the 20th Century, and is joined by seminal works The Hobbit and The Silmarillion. He may have died 52 years ago but his influence and legacy lives on in us all. Namárië.

In 2023 I wrote a short play in the Japanese Noh style for a writing challenge. After many revisions, I'm pleased to announce: In 2026 "Banshee," now a five-act play (you read that right) will be the first full-length play of mine to get a production.

Excellent essay by
@brianklaas.bsky.social
on how

causes brain rot. I think the same principles apply in
#journalism
, where a host of seemingly mundane tasks (covering meetings, e.g.) are in fact important training for reporters and should not be left to AI.
