Linzi McLaren’s SDLP candidacy in South Antrim is fantastic news. Linzi was extremely kind to our family behind the scenes when we needed it most. She will be a great voice for mental health services. A superb move by the SDLP.

The best local example of ‘we don‘t need a marketing person, we have AI’ biting a business on the hoop? The sight of local car dealers trying to figure out social media ads in an obvious panic now the Chinese brands are coming for them I’m sure AI will save you lads @brendanjharkin.bsky.social

As always this boat has an admirable vibe ie hiding behind some trees with no intention of people-ing today @brendanjharkin.bsky.social

*Shares appreciated* Dear BlueSky, our drinking water comes from just beside here (Lough Neagh, County Antrim) Otters, kingfishers, swans, cormorants and more call this home Due to a near-collapsed local government there are few solutions Please raise awareness @chrisgpackham.bsky.social
