Somewhat oddly Laois and Uíbh Fhailí are still Queens and Kings County on the map. I'd have assumed the changeover in names was earlier ? Along with Cobh and Dún Laoghaire?

A general point, because it can't be made often enough, support your local businesses wherever you are . If you don't buy something, just amplify by word of mouth or social media. #shoplocal

www.irishtimes.com/your-money/2... is the direct link. Thanks a mil to the compiler @conorpope.bsky.social.

I know from my easons years that it sells, the Saturday edition in particular, despite the rabid Toryism. Like the Playboy argument from many years ago, I've heard the 'I buy it for the arts/ books/ geopolitics'' argument, despite it being a frequently nasty paper.

And another from @gollancz.bsky.social , Hammajang from @makana-yama.bsky.social ( maybe best described as a cyberpunk lesbian space heist) here in an edition to which photography does no justice, because it literally shimmers. thebookshop.ie/makana-yamam...

Last minute winners almost*never* happen to Ireland, so particularly delighted for the team.
