‘Are you staying overnight?’ ‘No, we’re going back tonight. We’ll stay over after the final.’ Cork fans heard in Dublin today.

Trumps ‘books’ on Air Force One. Another case for Myles na Gopaleen’s de luxe Book Handling service. ‘Each volume to be thoroughly handled, eight leaves in each to be dog-eared, a suitable passage in not less than 25 volumes to be underlined in red pencil… and a leaflet in French to be inserted’.

Car manufacturers rule ok, for now.

As someone who has studied the material culture of conflict and peace in NI for 20+ years it’s always interesting to see an emerging case-study and especially one connected personally. The claiming of Thaxton - a housing development outside Lisburn - as a ‘loyalist’ area is my newest interest.

Israel, endlessly implementing US/EU backed genocide.

Despite being a lot smaller than Ireland, the Netherlands has already deployed 15 times more solar PV capacity than us, with plans to quadruple this in the years ahead, as I discovered on a recent visit. My report is in today’s @businesspost.bsky.social www.businesspost.ie/analysis-opi...

Arranged to meet daughter in a Brooklyn flower shop or in a café nearby. Don’t see her at flower shop. Tell owner I’m only there to meet my daughter. She asks for description. ‘Got ya,’ she says, ‘she just left.’ I thank her, say I feel like a detective. ‘Five bucks’ she says. She winked, I think. 💐

Norway announces that it intends to ban all trade with illegal Israeli settlements, which will bring it into line with the International Court of Justice's ruling in July 2024 which says states must not be complicit in Israel's illegal occupation. Spain and the Netherlands have already done so.

‘“This is the stuff of dreams’. Lovely informative piece by Gavin Cooney about Pico Lopes, Cape Verde’s and Crumlin’s World Cup hero.

He's been saying this thing about how easy it is to walk over the Qatar-Iran border for many months now. Clearly no one around him is brave enough to correct him. That's pretty terrifying.

@clairehanna.bsky.social : "Last week, in a very high profile case, the murder of Natalie McNally, the judge.. talked about a frenzied knife attack, he talked about wounds so bad the cause of death was unable to to be determined. There were no riots over the perpetrator of that brutal crime"

Elon Musk, spreading messages of ‘disgust, fear and anger’ on his anti-social media on Tuesday as racists planned violence in Belfast.

Pot, kettle, black.

Let us have a rapid global campaign to have the Somalian referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan referee at least one match in Canada or Mexico. FIFA should facilitate, not impede, that. The Canadian/Mexican government should pursue it too
