Back when I was at school, my English teacher said to me, “Your grammar is shit.”
I replied, “Your granddad is a bastard…”

The British state has used every method they can to isolate and break the spirits of the 8 prisoners who stand with Palestine.

They are now close to dying & the British state doesn't care.

Irish people know hunger strikes. We know British oppression.
We know colonialism.

Stand up, take Action 🇵🇸

I think all my old mates emigrating because there were no jobs between 2008-2014, and then most of my new mates emigrating between 2018-2025 because there are no gaffs, has had a greater effect on social cohesion than migrants

Finally reading this piece by @almutrochowanski.bsky.social , it's gold

jacobin.com/2025/11/euro...
"In the comfortable shade of American primacy, European states have been able to afford a self-centered, lucrative, and at times unscrupulous foreign policy. If the United States bids goodbye to its unipolar-era global hegemony, Europeans will lose the stature of vicarious primacy and have to start treating states around the world as sovereign equals. The thought of it brings many in Europe’s foreign policy establishment to the verge of a nervous breakdown."

!! Ireland has a unique opportunity to end foxhunting on Dec 17th when the Dail will vote on a proposed ban.

Please contact your TDs and ask them to support a ban.

First year selling my art at Christmas without the Other site, where most of my sales came from, as well as losing US orders to new tariffs, so it'll be a tough one - I put huge work into every order, so even if you can't buy, shares help get them in front of eyes. GRMA! www.ciaraioch.com/artprints

Nine years ago Mike Fitzgerald wrote up an extraordinarily fascinating breakdown of the differences between the Tom Stoppard shooting script and the original Jeffrey Boam draft of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.

It's well worth your time: www.creativescreenwriting.com/indiana-jone...
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: Learning from Stoppard By Mike Fitzgerald, June 13, 2016 Comparing two drafts of a script can be hugely instructive, revealing point-by-point how a writer went about improving the story. When I stumbled upon an earlier draft of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, I discovered a dazzling, glittering trove of lessons as nourishing as eternal life itself. Well, nearly so. Last Crusade was written by Jeffrey Boam, from a story by George Lucas and Menno Meyjes. So say the opening credits. Boam’s final draft, dated March 1, 1988 (ten weeks before production) differs drastically from the published script which reflects the released version of the film. Differences come as no shock, but with Last Crusade they aren’t just a few deleted scenes and some line changes. Whole sections of the Boam draft were reimagined, major set pieces were added, and the pacing and tone were markedly transformed. Whoever made these changes possessed a profound grasp of story craft.

A message to Vince Gasparro:
In September we said you made comments about us that were wholly untrue and deeply malicious. You did. It now transpires you also lied by telling the world you were acting on ‘behalf of the Government of Canada’. This was another lie. You were not. Your own government has made this clear. Today we are serving legal action against you. As we said, we will be relentless in defending ourselves against outrageous and baseless accusations. Vince. When we beat you in court, which we will, we will donate every cent of your money to assist the thousands of child amputees in Gaza. Finally to our many fans in Canada we are working to resolve the ‘compliance issues’ that have been communicated by your IRCC. We look forward to visiting Canada again in 2026 and playing to sold out shows across your land as we have done so in the past. FREE PALESTINE
