Achieving world peace by taking advantage of Trump being a utility monster

"The war in Gaza is over. The hostages will be released 72 hours after the Israeli Cabinet approves the deal. The release is expected to happen by Monday," a U.S. official said according to Barak Ravid, Axios

The ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas will take effect at 12:00 PM (Cairo time).

Thank God. Thank God.

Dolly Parton has been a good person all her life. She does so many kind things for people. Compare that to someone like JK Rowling who wakes up every day and decides to be an absolute asshole.

Will do! I've a couple of endorsements I will share shortly.

Launch of The Planter's Daughter! Free, but booking required

I'll be heading to Belfast for the last of my New Arcana launches, introduced by the wonderful Stephen Sexton, at No Alibis Books, on the 21st October. Free but ticketed- get yours here!

All that money spent on the Dunkettle Interchange!

The sooner they get the cycle route hooked up from Carrigtwohill and Midleton into Cork Kent Station the better because the best thing about commuting by bike is knowing it will always only and ever take X amount of time to get to your destination.

If tarot is your thing, this is a beautiful deck. Love Frank's art!

Apparently it's kidney stones. Highly painful but not lethal thankfully.

JK Rowling is a wicked, evil woman. Any writer who has anything to do with her, please get lost.

(Matthew 26:52, with swear words added by me)

Fair play to Wendy Lyon for using toxic defamation culture against him. Draw the sword, you have absolutely no fucking right to complain you die by the sword.

And another thing - the absolute arrogance of this man and his publisher to release this book, thinking that he could threaten to sue everyone and anyone who spoke up about him, and expect nobody to sue him back, presumably because sex workers are low status in literary/media Ireland?

Interesting to hear that this appears under “Courts” and not “Books” as if this doesn’t have everything to do with the rottenness of the Irish media/literary culture.

I wonder how Niamh Mulvey and Larissa Nolan feel about their endorsements now. In any other industry this would be career-ending.

I think I would like to be rolled up in a quilt and encouraged to sleep for the foreseeable future

Saw a T-shirt today that said "If CrossFit were easy, it would be called your mother," in case you were wondering whether people still use the subjunctive.

Me too. Thrilled to read it. Massive kudos to Catherine Martin @greenpartyie.bsky.social for introducing it. And to Patrick O'Donovan for retaining it.

That’s really good news.

Looks like it’s Connolly so for me.
