A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.

Imagine being told you, your friends, loved ones and neighbours had to leave your home forever because of the increasing risk of extreme flooding. That's what's happened in Western Rwanda where deadly floods have hit hard and are likely to return. Our latest on the country's climate crisis.

Watching RTE Investigates this evening leaves no doubt, we need to adequately provide for mental health and addiction services in this country - neither of these groups belong in prison if their crimes are related to these issues, they need care and compassion and rehabilitation, not prison

Electricity bill for November & December just landed and JAYSIS! Irish consumers pay around 50% higher than the EU average for most/all goods & services. EUROSTAT puts us tied with Denmark as EUs most expensive. How this isn't a huge issue for voters is beyond me...

An IPAS centre burnt out with fireworks thrown into it - women and children lucky to get out alive - when are we going to start taking the far right violence in Ireland seriously? It's been like watching the world's slowest train crash. For 5 years.

That type of Irish-American who'll tell you their 'people fled the potato famine" - then add 'but they came legally!' Thanks, Erin and Shawn. But the first federal controls? The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 (sounds kinda specific) So, no - they didn't.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.

One of the astonishing aspects of our times is that once-progressive parties are rushing us towards dystopia almost as fast as the far right is. This week's column is about what we might now face and how to contest it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Palestine Action isn’t a danger to British democracy – but this repressive government is | George Monbiot

With their illiberal attitudes and ever more draconian use of technology to crack down on protest, it is ministers who now imperil our rights, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

Sickened to see the amount of people the far right rounded out today. I don't know the exact figure but they filled the street completely all the way across from the Hugh Lane to the lower side of the Gresham hotel. Please do not ignore this, it's their biggest showing yet.Push back however you can.
