Given the compliance record of North Cork Creameries, these clearly read as empty words.

Irrespective of who is responsible for the fish kill, it's almost unsurprising it occurred given this level of non-compliance with EPA discharge licences. This must change.

The Irish term for a ladybird is Bóín Dé, pronounced Bow-een Day, which literally translates as God's little cow.

AGI is coming for all of us. It will write symphonies, direct movies, and author the best novels.

The only thing it won’t be able to do is VC investing, which must be reserved as a task only for the most-special people

Twenty-eight countries and 187 suppliers. The newer iPhones have 2,700 parts made around the world. Moving the entire supply chain to the US is highly impractical and unrealistic in the span of the Trump presidency ig.ft.com/us-iphone/

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

On Kremlin TV, Putin intimate Solov'yov says Russia so encouraged by Trump taking their side no longer see need for ceasefire.

"No, there won’t be any ceasefire. Our idea of peace is everything happening as we see fit”

Then plays a clip of Vance slamming Ukraine.

Vance is "our man" he says.
Vladimir Solovyov says Russia won't agree to a ceasefire

"NATO is not the thing that Russia is afraid of. Russia is afraid of democracy expanding to Russia. Why are we in NATO? Its because we are afraid of Russia. And the only thing that really works – the only security guarantee that works – is NATO's umbrella," Kaja Kallas said in an interview with AFP

Today, the European Union is the largest trading bloc in the world, larger than the United States and China. We rarely say it, little is known, but that is how it is. We are the second largest economy in the world, and the most socially and environmentally developed region on the planet.
