I know nothing about wine and maybe I’ve been had, but I think this is the most pleasing €12 bottle of wine I’ve ever had (purchased at Aldi).

Thoroughly perplexed by Senate Dems and rather depressed that this is the outcome after such an overwhelming repudiation of the GOP and Trump last week.

A petition presented to parliament in August 1835, of a parish priest calling out a voter from the pulpit for selling their vote, and entreating the parish not to do any business with him (aka - a boycott).
Of course, knew this practice happened regularly, but never seen a petition about it. 🗃️

It is weird to reflect on what it feels like giving notice to end a tenancy in Ireland - I am so conditioned to be terrified in this housing crisis that something might go wrong, and it is a strange thing to remember that now that we own we won't be homeless (...going bankrupt is another issue 😂)

I am just thinking about how much of an absolute loser Chuck Schumer is for his unwillingness as a Democratic US Senator from NY, and the Minority Leader of the Senate, to say he voted for the Democratic nominee for NYC Mayor. It is so so so pathetic. It's also one reason why Trump is President.

Speaking of his wife, Mary O'Connell, Daniel writes: "My wife - who in almost all my political resolves has been, I believe, uniformly right – is strongly against my taking any part [in a vote Repeal in 1833]."
O'Connell's correspondence is dotted with deep respect for his wife's political acumen.

Reading 'Excursions from Bandon, in the South of Ireland by a Plain Englishman' for something I am working on and the HaithiTrust scans show that Charles Sumner donated the book to Harvard in Oct 1863. 🗃️
