Caolan Robertson is not Irish and he is not a journalist. He’s a content thief who is regurgitating the Irish Times’ reporting Irish people *will* remember Caolan from #repealthe8th when he briefly stopped working for Tommy Robinson to make propaganda for the pro life group Youth Defence.

Hello London folks. I need to find two things today. 1: A place where I can print some color PDFs; and 2: a place where I can sit (IN AIR CONDITIONING, DEAR GOD) and do a little laptop-typing-work for a few hours. I'm close to St. Pancras today, what do you recommend?

RIP Sonny Rollins, a great jazz talent and the last surviving musician in one of the best photos of men in suits during the 20th century

“I think when the creative person ends, he continues in the next existence. I’m a person who believes this life isn’t the be-all and end-all of everything. A spiritual person doesn’t feel like that.” –S.R. (2009) 2/2

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

My neighbour has a big spread of Spanish Bluebells. Every year, I dig up a few and plant wild garlic bulbs, to flower next year. He gets really excited about his success in growing albino bluebells. I will never tell him.

The SocDems’ Jennifer Whitmore has broken down in tears during a Dáil debate about widening access to abortion in Ireland. TDs will vote this evening on removing the 72-hour waiting period for abortion within 12 weeks, and removing the 28-day limit applying to cases of fatal foetal abnormalities.

Under glass, I'd hoped. So here goes ... This evening, I was invited to @littlemuseumdub.bsky.social for the opening of the exhibition Together Apart, about The Irish Anti-Apartheid Movement ...

TFMR was the reason I got vocal and heavily involved with the #RepealThe8th campaign, and legislation failed them from the beginning. The legislation was only ever a starting point for me. Time to amend, time to update, time to expand.
