I've written obituaries for several family members, but nothing really prepares you for writing your dad's. obituaries.reviewjournal.com/obituary/ger...

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

My cat was basically begging me to take her picture with this pose in the window.

All the focus tonight is on the big races, but that last one is huge. Local government is where decisions that impact daily life are made. Thank you to @taniel.bsky.social for keeping us updated. He’s a must-follow for anything election related.

Good news - Sean Hannity promises not to move to Ireland!

Fox News is coping by predicting that lots of people are going to leave Virginia and New York.

Law & Order: Sandwich Victims Unit.

This is terrible loss. The amazing journalists at Teen Vogue are crushing it.

Keep up the good work everyone!

Marvel: 'Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover event in history

We don’t get to choose the times we’re born into, but we can try to shape the time our grandkids will be born into.

Additionally, I went to privacy>Manage Workplace smart features settings and turned that off. No thank you to all of this AI.

The answer to “When is it peak leaf season in New Hampshire?” is yesterday.

You know that GPS #Genealogy Proof Standard? Welp, in other aspects of your discerning, it would be best practice to apply identical PROOF STANDARD to sources & documents. Just freakin' sayin'. #DemocracyDies

I try to keep to my lane, but every now and then I slap a bumper sticker on to remind our #Genealogy and #FamilyHistory community about the importance of topics like #privacy. From the Human-Centered AI Lab at Stanford — @stanfordhai.bsky.social. hai.stanford.edu/news/be-care...

It's fantastic that so much is being planned for the 1926 census release #Census #Ireland #Genealogy

As if I needed more reasons to hate the Jets.

If I had to come up with the last thing Democrats should be spending political capital on in the current environment I think it would be arguing Nazi symbolism is negotiable.

Allie is in Belfast. Not Belfast, Maine. The other one in Northern Ireland. Being enamored with an unconventional Senate candidate who turns out to have a Nazi tattoo is bad enough. But when it's news on the other side of the ocean...

Catherine Corless is a hero. Without her unrelenting commitment to uncovering the truth, the fate of these children would be forgotten. It all started with questions about her own family. Family history and social justice go hand in hand. #genealogy www.thetimes.com/world/irelan...

Text from my oldest child. *chest swells with pride* #genealogy

I love getting The Onion. It's such a joy to find something other than bills and catalogs in the mail. Bonus - if you save them, you'll have some paper on hand for all sorts of survival needs when it all comes crashing down.

If you aren’t following U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, you’re doing Bluesky wrong

They all had a front row seat to see Sen. Feinstein’s decline and yet they’re sure it won’t happen to them. Pursuing a full time demanding job that will take you well into your 80s is not a good idea. #mapoli

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

I got a reply from Popehat! I would’ve preferred the Cubs winning, but I’ll take what I can get.

This year, we’re testing a new tactic in Pennsylvania’s state Supreme Court elections: 📬 Reciprocal letter writing—where voters can call or text our Voter Support Team. It’s a small but important step toward building deeper connections between volunteers and voters. Join us: votefwd.org/campaigns

Here's the thing. I am a lucky person and pay a fair bit in taxes. I can think of no better use for my tax dollars than feeding children, because I think all people are equally deserving of basic humanity.

You know what was weird last week? I didn’t see anyone fired for quoting words actually spoken by Jane Goodall.

WTF. Just heartbreaking and enraging.

What a woman, what a life. Fingers crossed on that rocket passenger manifest.

The Onion is on to us. #genealogy

A man made entirely of red flags.

Looking forward to this tonight. #IrishGenalogy

For anyone around at 10am Irish time on Wednesday morning I will be giving this free webinar for Legacy Family Tree Webinars as part of their 'Down Under' series. I'll be speaking about the 1922 Public Record Office fire and it's impact on Irish genealogy #Genealogy #Ancestry #Ireland

Family historians love a good obituary, and this one is amazing. It's cruel and unfair that such a vibrant woman lost her life too young to a terrible disease. But what a gift she left to future generations. #genealogy www.boston.com/news/massach...

#Genealogy To keep #FamilyHistory safe, bequeath the story with the photo or artifact. I wrote about Dad's #WWII military service & put story in archival envelope on back of frame holding his US Army memorabilia.

#Genealogy My 2GG had 12 kids and lost 4 when young; these two had diphtheria, died the same week. Thankfully, this disease was eradicated and the DTaP regimen is still a recommended vaccine.

I've added a little countdown clock to the 1926 census release on my website. cbgenealogy.ie #IrishGenealogy #AncestryHour #GenHour
