Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

Today is the feast day of the stigmatization of Francis of Assisi #otd 17 Sept. This image is from a recently rediscovered 1653 choir book, part of a set made for #Irish Franciscans resident at St. Isidore's #Rome, commissioned by Luke Wadding of #Waterford.

This brilliant lady wrote this out in her back garden. She’s on the flight path for Air-force 1 into Shannon. I’m also on the flight path but unfortunately not for the 747’s. Ireland hates that fucking useless lying heap of shit. #speirgorm 🇮🇪

A controversial special bus route along one of south Dublin's main traffic arteries is due to open this morning, amid predictions of congestion and lengthy tailbacks for motorists travelling into the city.

The Automobile Association has campaigned against this morning's introduction of the Stillorgan Quality Bus Corridor (QBC), arguing that it is starting without the extra facilities such as extra car-parks which would encourage motorists to switch to buses.

Wheeled my elderly aunt (90) around Knock yesterday, she’s a nun so this is her favourite place. She stocked up on multiple holy magical items to protect me against my enemies
Imagine of Knock Basilica, Mayo on a bright cloudy day. The Basilica is white with a dark spire. A religious goods shop window with statues of Jesus, Mary, and saints
