The problem with John Self’s post is that he reviews fiction for the Irish Times and that can have a real effect on an author’s career. So when he equates the Garvaghy Road protestors against unionist supremacy with anti-immigrant fash, that’s a real problem for authors writing about these topics.

Lost one of my heroes today. Slinger Francisco, also known as Mighty Sparrow, passed away at 91. Trinidad's most famous calypsonian, always infusing his songs with sharp political wit and humor. A friend and influence to many, including Van Dyke Parks. Here he is performing "Jean & Dinah."

ASLEF and the wider trade union movement are right to oppose this bid. It’s time for the Scottish Government to do the same. This would be a clear breach of the boycott policy that the Scottish Parliament voted for. greens.scot/news/scottis...

Most of mine* seem to be from around age 11, but maybe that’s just because 1991/2 was such a great time for dogshit movies??? Also by the time I was 13 I had pretensions and a copy of halliwell’s film guide 💀

Nick Robinson on Today is literally talking about ‘legitimate concerns’ after second night of organised men dressed in black - sorry ‘protesters’ - mobilising en masse in another littoral town. This is how street fascism is normalised

There’s already research connecting the Shingrix vaccine to a significantly reduced risk of dementia. Now it looks like it might also significantly reduce risks of heart attacks and strokes. NHS it at 65 in the UK but you can pay privately & get it from age 50 www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

the short video of Dolly singing in Páidí Ó Sé's pub has been shared plenty but the full clip is glorious as it includes an óráid as Gaeilge from Páidí, Dolly chatting away with half the room, and (impressively) Steve Cooney tuning up by ear before doing a perfect guitar accompaniment

My dislike of quote-dunking does not apply to elected representatives of the party responsible for the most anti-LGBTQ+ actions of any government in my lifetime, one that is literally attempting a trans genocide, trying to pretend the party he represents isn't worse than this.
