I’m falling in love with Turas Belfast. I feel so lucky to be learning a cúpla focal of Irish with them.
This short video (3ish minutes) talks about their history and their aim in bringing Irish back to East Belfast.

LinkedIn is so interesting because it's ostensibly all these self-promoters, but there's also this undercurrent of profound insecurity because nobody would be there if not for the imperative of "get a job or starve"
Collectively it's annoying, but there's also an element of sadness and humanity

Reading this execrable piece of filler was like scraping my nails down a blackboard but it does confirm to me that I have absolutely nothing in common with other British people. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

For Brando’s centenary here’s a documentary about the film he almost made in 80s Ireland, before it collapsed in a frenzy of fraud accusations. He comes out of it very well, and kept in contact with his local buddies in Co Cork until he died.
