Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time. I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

Seems the difference between ‘protestors’ and ‘terrorists’ is that protestors wear balaclavas while terrorists hold placards.

Let me get this right: if you're a retired vicar and peacefully hold up a sign opposing genocide, you're a terrorist. But if 1200 morons put on balaclavas and close half of Dover to stop people *escaping* genocide, police "constructively engage." Is that it? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Perfect example of AI brain rot here from the Collision "think tank" at Progress Ireland. "I don't understand this topic, but it won't stop me pontificating about it. And the mistakes in my reporting are because there were too many words for me and the LLM to understand."

The first thing to say is, it's hard to even find the 2022-2028 Dublin City Development Plan.
Despite being an electronic document, the council has chosen to split it into 24 separate PDFs. Added together, these 24 PDFs sum to 2,447 pages.
Note: I'm leaning on ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude a lot for this piece because no sane person could be expected to manually pore over two thousand pages of planning documents. If there are errors, blame the voluminous PDFs - not the LLMs. Nor

As we saw just last month with international far right descending on Belfast, the cross pollination of the far right and their flow of money across Ireland, UK & Europe continues to go completely unchecked by UK and Irish governments despite it happening right in front of their faces.

It’s a relief to see Burnham - with help from Ed Davey and the Lib Dems - mentioning social care fees paid by disabled people. Politicians and media focus on the elderly with assets but any review must also address the poverty-inducing fees forced on working age disabled people by local councils.

Burnham says he agreed with what Ed Davey said in his Today interview this morning about the pressures carers are under.

We see people struggling in in their homes looking after a partner or a relative.
It can break people if they’re kind of left without that support that they need.
In fact, it does break people, and that needs to be recognised.
It needs to be recognised that people can see everything they’ve worked for wiped out by the costs of care. Hundreds of thousands of pounds can just disappear paying for care.
Adults with disabilities will say that they face very unfair care charges just to live, just to live their life. That needs to be recognised.

Viking-age gaming board (replica), from Ballinderry, Ireland. For the Viking war game ‘Hnefatafl’, the object of which is to drive the King piece into one of the corners. This replica at Roskilde Viking Ship Museum, Denmark. Original at National Museum of Ireland in Dublin. 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo shows a wooden replica of the Viking-age Balinderry gaming board. The original board would have been used for the Viking war game ‘Hnefatafl’, a game of strategy, the object of which is to drive the King piece into one of the corners.

The original gaming board is made of dark yew wood dated tenth century. The board is roughly square in shape with forty-nine holes laid out in seven rows of seven holes for holding pegged game pieces. There are five light wood pegs and five dark wood pegs randomly placed in holes around the board. The central hole is marked with an incised double circle and the four corner holes are marked with incised circular arcs. At two opposite ends of the board (top and bottom in my photo) there are projecting carved stylized human heads, probably handles. The board has a decorative border with eight panels of carved interlace decoration. It was found in 1932 during excavations at Ballinderry Crannog, County Westmeath. Now on display at Dublin Museum.

Nigel Farage has been accused by multiple people he grew up with of extreme antisemitic comments and behaviour. Yet he's allowed to present himself as a champion of Jewish people. Meanwhile, our only Jewish leader, Zack Polanski, is smeared - because he opposes genocide.
