An appropriate song choice too considering it's precisely eight lines long with zero subtlety yet people STILL seem to miss the meaning of

Some of those that work forces
Are the same that burn crosses

Those who died
Are justified
For wearing the badge
They're your chosen white

Ever wondered where all the Cheers title photos are from? I did. And I've gathered everything I can find into this post. That was fun.

Such a sad passing. He had such hopes for what he would do with his remaining time in his interview with Brendan O'Connor just three weeks ago.

Ireland has lost a mountain of libraries with the passing of Manchán Magan. A brilliant, gentle, inspiring treasure of a spirit.

As a friend said last night, “He described the Irish language as potent and infinite, but that was him too.”

My friend and PalCast cohost Yousef Aljamal has suffered yet another heartbreaking loss at the hands of the genocidal Israeli regime. The deeds they’ve done will never be forgotten. Justice will be done.
I’m so, so sorry, dear Yousef.

If this intends to make it legally compulsory for every adult in Derry to carry something called a "Brit Card", then I'm willing to offer some high-paid consultancy on why this plan might be flawed.

In fairness to Maria Steen it's a tough tightrope to walk to find nominees who hate women enough to support the Iona Institute but not so much that they wouldn't nominate one.

People have been able to get nominated in previous elections, those tended to have a record of doing something in the community or are known. So the process works.
It just doesn't work if you're an extremist or have no record of doing anything positive for the community. #aras25

The reason I'm concerned about Maria Steen being on the ballot isn't that she will win (she won't).

My worry is that if she is nominated, it will mean a month of national airtime for a hate campaign against vulnerable groups, carried by a media too scared of being sued to call it what it is
