All that and then he killed the Pope? What an asshole
Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed.

He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

I presume JK Rowling is going to "who are _they_?" the Pope.
The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach.

The UK's political and media class has spent years heaping sadism on trans people, and they want to do the same in Ireland next. Calls for civility and calm won't cut it. We need to fight them tooth and nail.

in slightly-early honour of St Patricks Day, I will once again remind the world of the time Amazon united Ireland (and apologized for the Troubles), still one of my favourite moments on twitter

Arne Slot. On top of being an incredible manager, he also incredibly funny. This explanation of why Mo said it would be his last game against City is savage 💀

For the first time in a while overdose deaths are declining - seven straight months of declines. The cause is complicated but appears to be the culmination of a number of different Biden admin policy initiatives coming to fruition. And yet it meant absolutely nothing politically.
What’s the TLDR?

SF leaving it till the 11th hour to say they want to work with the rest of the left! But this could really shake up the race in Dublin. Here are some races where SF transfers could really shake things up (thread) #GE24
Sinn Fein specifically asking voters to give their lower preferences to the Social Democrats, PBP-Solidarity and some independent candidates.

The unmistakable reddish bark of a yew. Such a special tree.

With a potential lifespan of thousands of years, longer than any other native species, yew conjures the mind-boggling immensity of ecological time.

Our own lives are mere blips by comparison. 🌎
