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.

Mass murder is an interesting way of “testing a fragile ceasefire”.
Incredible how international media continues to provide cover for Israel’s ongoing genocide, despite all the evidence.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Don't say "I'll be right back".

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:-)
