This isn’t an unavoidable fact of life. It’s the direct result of policy choices made my those in power.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Watched a film called 'All You Need is Death' last night.

A very interesting piece of Irish folk-horror if that is your bag.

Alan Coren once described Clegg as "the kind of man where you can't remember whether he has a beard or not, even while you're talking to him".

We had a good innings, from the cave paintings of Lascaux right up to Napster, time to admit defeat and let Nick Clegg be in charge of our imaginative output from now on.

We don't want to make Nick Clegg sad, do we? So lets all join hands and walk into the ocean and admit that the era of human creativity has come to an end.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Look at the innocence of childhood, look at the pain inside them, look at the hunger, how it affected their bodies, the horrific anemia inside them. Don't be stingy with my children in buying food and medicine. Don't let them die of hunger.

It is awful to wake up to posts like this, but much worse to have to try to survive under a genocide that's maiming and killing children like Nour, please help if you can:

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Doaa. Doaa is the mother of 3 children Omar, 10, Yasmine, 8 and Youseff, 4 but she primarily started this fundraiser to help her sister Amal who lost a husband and son and is trying to support her children Hiam, 13, Omar, 12 and Jawad, 7.

I wrote about how different generations view the housing crisis and, consequently, the Jim Gavin story.

Irish Examiner @irishexaminer.bsky.social · 1d

Jim Gavin tenant row shows a generational divide

The substance of the allegations against Jim Gavin deserve scrutiny because this issue is familiar to so many people
