Absolutely heartbreaking watching the #Boyzone documentary, what that gutter press did to Stephen Gately with the help of that skin walker Louis Walsh, may he never know a moments peace.

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.

What’s even more uncanny: Octavia Butler lived — and is buried — in Altadena, the location most devastated by the Eaton fire.
Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."

She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

Another beautiful story from New Zealand, about the revitalisation of our indigenous language alongside the restoration of the natural world. Because it sucks when your important proverbs involve species that are extinct.

Retailers falling over themselves to unstock McGregor poison . And rightly so. But the Ballymaloe brigade have TV shows, newspaper columns and sauces for everything. Is sexual violence acceptable when the perpetrators are the darlings of the middle classes? Convince me I'm wrong.

People often say you should fill your ballot all the way down.

Allow me to provide a top PR-STV voting tip: you do not have to fill your ballot when there are multiple fascists on it
