an evening stroll with friends. I would so enjoy that.
When infant is upset and none of the established curatives work so you start combining and end up with all the lights off, their feet perched on the windowsill singing 'this land is your land' and most assuredly NOT 'it ain't me babe'

The Irish media are continuing their campaign to legitimise far-right politics, hope this helps to make sense of the whole situation
Maria Steen was on RTÉ Radio 1, the country’s most listened to radio station, this morning lamenting the lack of conservative voices in our national media.

She then read from an article by Brenda Power, published in the most widely read national newspaper.

Make it make sense!

Gaullist slop, go Internationale or go home
this scene gives me chills each time I watch it. Casablanca was a contemporary film: it was set in 1941 and released in 1942. They were celebrating neighbors and compatriots across the globe. It'd be like releasing a film next year about what's happening in Minnesota

Earnestly: post-pandemic silo-ed life + delivery app proliferation means a lot of people have new touchpoints with the rest of society where they get to feel, and behave, like bosses.
That a lot of the story of 2024 is the American *consumer* class going Kalecki is really important and something we need to deal with; instead of pretending something more convenient happened.

Malcolm X was later quoted as saying Castro was “the only white person he ever liked”.
Season 2 of Blowback is a history of the Cuban Revolution and the US' attempts to sabotage it. Episode 4 describes Castro appearing at the UN, visiting Harlem. It brings a lot of different sources together, this paragraph doesn't do it justice, but it is so moving. Blowback only good podcast

Do you think someone's going to get hurt at an event where there are Zionists and Irish footballers / fans (notwithstanding that those who attend probably won't be very conscious). Or would that be alarmist
