Still fuming they are using the Lovelace name to give themselves licence to bring together five dudes to discuss the future of the UK’s research system #AdaWashing

Waves frantically from Ireland.

Or me watching hurling.

If you enjoy lacrosse you'd appreciate hurling. Its an entirely amateur, ancient Irish sport.

Here's some highlights from a game this weekend as a taster:

The rot in NI politics does not begin or end with the masked youths holding bats and bricks. Contempt and loathing for migrants goes all the way to the top.

It was optional (at least for a while) afterwards. As my teacher had so much Peig related teaching materials, I did it, despite doing my leaving years after that cut off.

Friend of mine reported on Bucha, came back with a face like that and told me he had a hard drive full of footage he could never use, because no channel would ever be able to show it.

Obviously Ireland doesn't even feature in the discussion. Double tracking (at a minimum) all intercity lines and removing level crossings should be our priority as well as sorting out the network congestion at Connolly!

What's most tedious about all this is that these tactics aren't novel or ingenious. This is how online bigots have acted for decades. To know this is to have been on the internet. Yet it's being reported on by people who sound like they've heard good things about the web and might try it some day.

Wonderful news!

Ah this is just lovely.
