Saying that the European Convention on Human Rights has gone too far is like saying that seat belts have gone too far. Because really, seat belts are non invasive, a minor thing, something you hardly notice. That is, of course, until things get really bad. Then you’re really glad about the seat belt

Around this time of year you might see a lot of ads for companies offering to get you a tax refund.
Please beware, these companies are charging you for a service that Revenue provides for free! And their bank details will still be on your account the next time you apply for a refund.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth.
Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it.
Every single time.

"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain." This James Baldwin quote is hitting harder than ever.

If you are a non-Irish news outlet reporting that Ireland has a new left-wing President that's fine, but you need to also report that this is nothing new for Ireland and is in fact just the type of president we've been going for the last few rounds
