So after all that, we end up with a perfectly tolerable deal which has almost no connection to the vindictive bullshit Trump was saying about it.

Full text of the Ukraine-US Minerals Deal. 1. Seems fine (an investment and reconstruction fund); 2. Has no resemblance to what the Trump administration has been saying about it; 3. Can't tell if Ukraine is good at diplomacy, or Trump bad at it. www.eurointegration.com.ua/eng/articles...

Ní raibh a fhios agam go bhfuil fotheidil Gaeilge ar fáil ar YouTube😅 Iontach ar fad!

Tá leabhar nua faighte agam 🤗

This is a good setup here. I have about 5 minutes left before I am disturbed by a child.

Remote controls should have a discreet on/off button - for the remote - so that they can be given to a toddler without them changing your audio track to español or something

Dán iontach ar fad sa Leinster Leader inniu ♥️

I’m somehow following this Facebook page that churns out fake celebrity stories. My Twitter feed meanwhile is about 30% posts about what Simon Harris has done that you won’t believe. Are there any platforms left that aren’t just scams/disinformation/crypto/owner’s political agenda? Fucking nuts

The other place is fucking ridiculous.

Found my grandad’s work bag today with his overalls in it. 50-odd years old.

We have a bit of a situation here 🐱🎄

Is coddle allowed on this platform?

The tension between two dads at the playground, their kids playing together, studiously avoiding having to speak to each other, can best be understood as a kind of elaborate dance or haka

Already hate this little bastard

Latest in @TheAtlantic. I never wanted to write. The Biden Administration was given an unexpected opportunity to make the world a safer, more democratic place after the Russian full scale invasion of Ukraine. However they failed and made the world more dangerous. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

How many of these do we reckon can be eaten in one sitting before you make yourself sick? 15 isn’t the answer anyway

Quick thing I wrote

Taoiseach Simon Harris is asked what his team communicated to RTÉ after Kanturk exchange. He says he doesn’t believe they questioned whether Charlotte Fallon was a member of Sinn Féin.

I got up at 6:30 and no children followed me down. 45 mins of peace. Great way to start the day (after having slept in a single bed with a 3 year old)

‘Mid-Term Break’ by Séamus Heaney. What a gut punch. Incredible poem.

I tidied up my bookcase recently, and it makes me very happy 📖

Connections Puzzle #530 🟩🟨🟦🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 My early morning thought (5:30am with the baby) is that Connections should have 1 more word in there. I don’t even look at the last group, it’s a bit pointless, it’s just selected by default. It would ruin the symmetry though, granted.

Has technology gone too far?

Update: Silicon Republic, one of the longest-running Irish tech content outlets (70k followers), today announced it will cease posting on X (for same reasons as the Guardian). Has moved to Bluesky.

Faoi dheireadh, chonaic mé an scannán KNEECAP - tá sé thar barr! Thaitin sé go mór liom. Aisteoireacht sách mhaith ó na leaids

Spent the last couple of weeks (due to weather and other interruptions!) building this decking in the garden. Delighted with it! Just in time for the Winter ⛄️

I don’t mean to alarm anybody, but…

We had no dog food left so I had to give cat food to the dog. The ultimate indignity.

Planning to build a decking next week, so bought this novelty-sized level and square for the job

Táim ar ais anseo arís. Is kip é an áit eile. Céard a chaill mé? I’m back here again. The other place is a kip. What did I miss?

My most relaxing moments with my kid is when he treats me like a mountain or a ladder and is stomping on my nuts and my face

Leabhar nua!

Any follow suggestions? My feed is super quiet.

Deleted Twitter from my phone, so tá mé ar ais anseo arís! Cad a chaill mé?

We should have audiobooks of all Irish fiction novels on the Junior and Leaving cert. It would allow students to learn more by getting extra repeats of the text while commuting, walking the dog etc liveatthewitchtrials.blogspot.com/2024/03/iris... #gaeilge #leavingcert
