A definite sign of ageing is that you cannot impress me with "over 20 years" anymore. Am I expected to think this sauce is ancient, because it's as old as Nelly Furtado's Maneater?

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

We know that Halloween is just around the corner - but we are preparing for the most wonderful time of the year: Maker Secret Santa!
The first graphic has a green background patterned with gift‑box outlines and a Dublin Maker logo with a Santa hat. Large red and white text reads “Maker Secret Santa 2026.” Below, two text boxes explain the event: participants give and receive handmade gifts; items should be small, handmade, and cost under €50.

Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaase tell me that all those "you should need a government ID to access the internet" people are rethinking this position now. [We know they aren't. Ed.]
The first two paragraphs of the linked-to story:

"Denmark has suffered a major data breach that has given unauthorised individuals access to names, addresses and personal identification numbers belonging to about 8.8 million people registered in the country’s central population database.

"The breach occurred after unidentified individuals misused a private Danish company’s legitimate access to search the Central Person Register (CPR), the government said in a statement Monday."

Just called a fancy restaurant to ask whether they could accommodate a vegetarian tomorrow. "Certainly, sir," she replied. "We offer hay or silage," with only a touch of mirth. I hope the legendary receptionist of that particular equestrian centre has a very good weekend. (One wrong digit.) 🙄

Irish National Opera has bought an old church on Abbey Street, to turn it into a performing arts space. The chapel on the ground floor is too small for a theatre “but it's the kind of place where you could have recitals, a piano player or string quartet”.

A general appeal. If you are an author of any book or books available from Irish publishers (via Gill Distribution, Áis, Poolbeg etc) we'd love to (a) sell your books (b) publish your thoughts on your books, publishing, writing - anything - on our shop blog. (1/2)

As of Cabinet yesterday, one now needs the ability to communicate in order to be considered a citizen. Yet in the first three months of 2026, not a single child in ten counties was given a plan on how the State would deliver them with speech and language therapy. This week’s column @thejournal.ie:
