China’s clean-air campaign has cut Beijing’s smog by 70% in a decade, and cut heavily polluted days from 58 a year to just one. The effort has prevented an estimated 680,000 premature deaths since 2020 and generated $715 billion in cumulative health benefits. buff.ly/ZfRCR1q #ShareGoodNewsToo

Something rather surprising about the section “readers who have read this have also read” on my Amazon uk profile - every single book there is by John Boyne. Im not bothered about it but it looks like a bug. Also one of the MCs is a transgender lady but I suspect that’s neither here nor there.

Ireland imports 80% of its wheat. Not great food security. Concentration on livestock farming elbowed Irish wheat out. Imported wheat and flour add considerably to the cost of living crisis. But new crop science opens the door to Irish grown wheat. Listen: 👉 www.rte.ie/listen/clip/...

Only the tiniest fraction of the flour needed to bake the 50kg of bread we eat a year is grown and milled in Ireland, and the cost of what we import is sky rocketing. We take a look at what needs to b...

The Sunday Independent published an article written by Brenda Power which breached the Press Council Code of Practice against Prejudice and was "likely to cause grave offence or to stir up hatred against trans and gender diverse people on the basis of their gender."

In 2020 I was handed the keys to an old walled garden. I thought I was going to grow vegetables. Instead, wildlife returned. People came. Children came. It changed my life. I wrote the story down. It’s called Nature’s Acre. Read the book. 🌱 gardeningwell.ie/natures-acre

Just finished The Pathless Land by Tim Hannigan, who walked the length of the island to show how constrained we are by our fetish for private property. It’s a perfect non-fiction sibling to The Planter’s Daughter!

My #painting "The Long Walk II" was painted when me and my bicycle sat in Galway by Claddagh Quay. Rain then softly landed on my face. And made the painting look funky. Then it got much heavier and washed all the paint off the canvas. So I returned the next day and started over. #SpéirGhorm #ArtYear

Landscape format in acrylics on canvas. View across rich blue rippling water to narrow band across the centre of the painting consisting of a street of about two dozen terraced houses, the leftmost being 4 stories and the rest a mixture of 2 and 3 stories high, above a band of dark blue that is a quay wall. Windows and doors are dark simple soft rectangles. Houses are single colours of, from left to right, blue, 5 white 2-story houses, blue, yellow, pale green, brown, white, maroon, red, pale green, white, blue, brown, yellow, blue, yellow, white, and yellow. Slated roofs are dark blue. Sky is stormy yellow mixed in with patches of green and red, dark in patches near the top, brightest at the bottom above the roofs. The water closest to the dark quay wall has less rippling and shows a dark shimmering reflection of the houses. Foreground includes some grass and flagstones of curved quayside on left. Signed top left in dark blue, Liam Daly

It's amazing how this MAGA extremely socially conservative project has remained completely off the radar, both in national and (unsurprisingly) local media. The very conservative/Taylor Swift hating local bishop in Waterford is strongly supporting this endeavour.

Great article by Roisin Cuddihy about bringing up kids in the midst of climate breakdown. I would say that there is also a secret, hidden shame on the part of the people that mock and dismiss. They know full well they are part of the problem. @roisincuddihy.bsky.social

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.

If I may use a personal example, it wouldn’t be the first time this has happened.

Gabriel’s uncle is a brigadier who taunts mentally ill soldiers. While Lanigan uses his public humiliations to highlight the belittlent of traumatised soldiers, his displays of cruelty seem over the top for a man of his standing.
