For non Irish people on here, today is All Ireland final day. Donegal, my county, is in their 4th final. Kerry, the opponents are in their 60th. We’ve won it twice in our history. To say the excitement here is wild would be an understatement. #UpDonegal

At an amazing event run by @inishowenrfc.bsky.social u-16 girls. They are rowing 100miles. 5 machines, 20 miles each machine. Coming down to the wire now. The last few miles.

I had childhood Meningitis at 10 years old. The spinal tap is no joke. It left me with a fear of needles for most of my life.
Considering I’ve had Crohn’s disease since I was 15, that has been a burden.

MUST SEE: Congresswoman Schrier nails conspiracy theorist and unfortunate HHS Secretary, RFK Jr., on the value of vaccines—and it’s glorious.
Schrier also happens to be the first pediatrician in Congress.

Once again with the dog thing.
Why would any decent person throw out a dog? Why would you say that?
Has he never met a dog?

Google it and you will laugh your heart out.

The American saying “An Irish goodbye” is definitely bullshit.
We were just at a social gathering and our teens text to say the electric trip had gone off.
It took 45mins to leave the gathering from our first “Good bye”.

I live quite close to this. Some locals are stirring up nonsense on FB that this will be dangerous and are trying to get it stopped. The usual crowd of anti-vaxers and anti immigrants.
An exciting battery project - based on rusting iron! - is being developed in Donegal, one of Ireland's most remote outposts.
It's a new ultra long-duration energy storage tech, and the subject of my latest column:

Our foster dog just bit a member of the Gardai who called to our house.
We want to send her back to the rescue centre, the kids disagree.
What should we do?
Caveat: this is the 3rd person she has bitten.

Such a sad situation locally to me. One kid in serious condition in hospital and another missing at sea after swimming locally. Hoping things turn positive soon.

It’s Holy Thursday. A day traditionally in Ireland where off licences were emptied as all pubs were closed on Good Friday.
It was always a mad day.
The pubs have been allowed to open since 2018, but I feel that the tradition still lives on a bit.
