Almost 65,000 children in Gaza have been killed or injured by Israel since October 2023. Children also face forced famine, displacement, and denial of humanitarian aid. You don't get to annihilate a generation and then play a game of football, as if it never happened, as if it isn't still happening.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Bizarre things that happened in your assembly: 3 half-day seminars on the irrefutable authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, including swivel-eyed sidebars on Roman crucifixion practices, wounds made by scourging, and species of thorny plants available in Judea in the C1st. Man, they loved that shroud

The Irish government must end it's association with X.

Data centres should pay ten times the consumer rate for energy. They should subsidise us, and not the other way around.

On September 5th 1926, 48 people died when a fallen candle ignited a reel of nitrate film stock in a cinema in the town of Dromcollogher, Co. Limerick, an event that became known as "The Burning". Next Saturday An Taoiseach will lay a wreath in their memories.
