I play bodhran - mostly the HEDwitschak Corelin Classic on the left, but I have a soft spot for the 1992 Doolin Bodhrans drum on the right.

I was voting at a local NS early this morning, and a woman came in after me with her six-year-old son.
The agent/officer says to the little chap "Aren't you lucky, getting a day off school?"
"Oh no" says Mammy "He has school, he goes to the one up the road"!
Poor little fecker!

1. Violence didn’t just break out. It was so preplanned that far-right ‘bloggers’ were able travel from England to attend.
2. Name it. It’s far-right violence.
3. If the targets of violence are singled out for race or ethnicity & other groups are not targeted in a similar way, that’s racist. [1/2]

In my film studies A-level class (I only did the most useful A-levels) we had to watch In the Name of the Father and it turned the entire class FURIOUS, we were raging at injustice in every subsequent lesson on the movie. I think In the Name of the Father radicalised me by being so good.

Another returning Irish White-tailed Eagle, 2024 release female 51, back on home soil after 6 months exploring Scotland, from Kintyre and north to Hoy, Orkney in late April. Also unusual was this bird never visited the west coast islands (esp Mull). She's back in Donegal safely! Beir bua:-)

THREAD. When my parents' cat Bridget went missing, my dad, to try to ease his worry, painted her on a variety of historical adventures. These soon multiplied. Significantly.
After much nagging, he has had some postcards printed of this brilliant series:

A colleague made an observation that the 'AI gold rush' drive leave a generational gap in software developers, where there will be a cohort discouraged or driven out, and then the swing back to human solutions will be lacking knowledgeable and experienced people to do the work.
