Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.
Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.
If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

It was on this day in 1742, in Dublin , that George Frederic Handel's "Messiah" was performed for the first time.
It happened at the New Music Hall in Fishamble Street. The performance was a fundraising event for charities and prisoners, with tickets costing a half-guinea each.

The Gist: Where did the houses go?
For most of the history of the state, Local Authorities have been building houses to put people in. Then FG became the largest party and that mostly stopped. This is the Gist.

For what it's worth, here's main text of my formal complaint to IPSO on *that* Daily Telegraph 'mass deportation now' piece from midweek, which I claim breaches art 1 of the Editors' Code & requires correction & apology.
To be frank, it's not worth much, but it's part of the journey to resistance

Changing the leaving cert to be 40% coursework at this moment is reckless. Indemnity for teachers isn't the solution. More testing under exam conditions is needed.
