I wonder if any Irish historians on here can help me identify any of the people in this picture? Early 1900s probably in Dublin, it's Tom Clarke in the middle and I think I know who it is on the left of the image. Any of the others though?

Hello #medievalsky here's my novella-length look at how peasants facing feudalism organized and fought.
Ambushes, secret societies, communal pacts, innovative weaponry, ingenious battle tactics and a whole heap of dead nobles:

Have you called your credit card processor lately?
Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

Nobody's clamouring for AI games, nobody's mad that games don't feature AI, there's a total and utter lack of demand for it. The only demand is from business heads who think it'll save them money, audiences and creatives are rejecting it.

My first thought when I read this is: they don’t have to resign. They could rebel within the GOP or declare themselves as independents. With no clear Democratic or Republican majority, they would have a lot of power within the House.
But I can think of a few reasons why they would rather quit.
