A poem I wrote a while back. For all the parents out there!
This bombing campaign will only serve to bring the people of Iran together against Israel and America even more than it already was. 🙄

Hot take. The avatar films haven't broken into the pop culture zeitgeist because they're too long. It makes a rewatch laborious. Same issue with the Dune films (though not quite as long and more interesting narratively).

After their Ambassador left the country I wouldn't expect them to come here unless they are invited. Don't hold your breath!

I hope Connolly can be a modern Mary Robinson. Humanitarian in her actions and a voice for change. Could she give more weight to left leaning parties for the next GE? 🤔

I learned about Sports Thumb Jim Gavin dropping out of the Irish Presidential election from @tupped.bsky.social's The Gist this morning and I owe it to you to share this relevant passage, which got my week off to a great start:

Also known as a daddy long legs!
Tipula maxima is the largest cranefly in Ireland, and when you see it in real life, you know why. It is so big, with a leg span of up to 10cm! It also has heavily patterned wings. The sharp bit at the end of the abdomen is just an ovipositor and not a sting.
Have you seen these around lately?

Working in Emergency services I can confirm that there are a lot of calls coming in today for various water incidents. Please have respect for the water, know your limits, be extra vigilant with kids in the water, especially in the sea and rivers. Underwater currents can pull you under.
Choose your swimwear colors carefully, too.

Yeah, this makes us cannon fodder for other much larger countries to use in whatever they deem necessary. Irish troops deployed to strengthen security is just a euphemism for whatever they want to do.
The Irish Government have admitted that their new law, which looks to dismantle the Triple Lock, would have allowed us to go to War in Iraq.
We must protect our neutrality and keep the Triple Lock
