Puppy farms, sulky racing, fox hunting and hare coursing: Ireland has a major animal cruelty crisis
While the public demands change, Ireland’s weak laws, poor enforcement and Government inaction are allowing puppy farms, blood sports and racing abuses to flourish, writes Jennifer Whitmore.

the answer to this is that there’s a yarn supplier/medievalist that a lot of people start engaging with because she’s Black and does (important!) work around anti-racism but also she went off the deep end of antisemitism several years ago and I guess some people followed her down the rabbit hole

That's horrible, and I totally get it - it feels like you've been tricked, and they've just done a horrible, horrible 'ta-da!' reveal.

Though the mind boggles how one would move from knitting to Nazi views. But then, as a dyspraxic crocheter, the ability to use 2 needles seems like dark magic....

I mean, who are you going to believe: Elon Musk, or seemingly all of the women who have been involved with him (except his mother, and please don't go down that road)...?👍
This image displays a thread of social media posts discussing the death of Elon Musk's first child. Elon Musk shared that his firstborn child died in his arms due to a SIDS-related incident. Musk expressed strong disapproval of using the deaths of children for political or personal gain. Justine Musk, the child's mother, clarified that she was the one holding their son when he was declared brain-dead. https://x.com/justinemusk/status/1595506087570333696

⚠️ Israeli media reports the White House has indicated to Israel that negotiations with Iran have reached a “dead end.”

Significant movements of US military assets into the Middle East continue.
Jason Brodsky @JasonMBrodsky X.com @N12News in #Israel is reporting that the White House has indicated to Israel that the talks with #Iran's regime have reached a dead end, and it will be difficult to move further along the path of negotiations because the Iranians will not agree to what Trump wants.

The presence of a U-2 enables the data links of F-22s and F-35s to freely communicate with each other while the E-3 coordinates in the background and monitors for foreign movement.

Trump officials have blocked Minnesota law enforcement from accessing materials to investigate the death of Alex Pretti.

They also refused to cooperate with Minnesota officials to investigate Renee Good’s death.

What don’t they want the public to know?

Across many years as a parenting columnist, I've written about vaccine heistancy multiple times. Each time, I've tried to be sensitive and empathetic to these people but, if I'm honest, nothing has ever gotten closer to my true feelings about them than this meme from a decade ago.

I think even a lot of Irish people don't really think about how insane it is that divorce was only legalised in Ireland in 1997, and homosexuality in 1993. An unrecognisable country (in almost all ways for the better) from the one I was born in.

Single people after Valentine's Day: Well, at least that's over.

Kerry and Cork on Shrove Tuesday night: Hold my pancake
Screenshot from the RTÉ website. "What became known as Skellig Night was a feature of Shrove Tuesday in parts of the south, especially Cork and Kerry. After sunset, noisy crowds went onto the streets of towns in the region and the Skellig night procession was all about loudly slagging off the still- single and telling them to "go to the Skelligs". The Skellig islands off the coast of Co. Kerry were said to still run under the old calendar, therefore Ash Wednesday would arrive later there, hence there would be still time for the single to go there to marry before Lent began. Sometimes, people in disguise would call to the homes of the single and try to take them by force onto the street to be jeered, making as much of a din as possible." #SpéirGorm #SpéirGhorm #Ireland
