I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

A letter to his mother.
![I am sorry, mother, because the ship sank with us and I couldn't get there.
Nor will I be able to send the money I borrowed to pay for the trip... I am sorry, divers and search teams for the missing, for I do not know the name of the sea I drowned in.
Rest assured, asylum office, I will not be a heavy burden on you.
Thank you, sea, for welcoming us without a visa or a passport... I am not sorry that I drowned. I have rested and brought relief [to others]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dctd5upwgb4vqvs42vi4wgs4/bafkreiblgnayxhbij5onur7m5uuy36bie4zyej6wdzelhkflvv2glkhggu@jpeg)

Ironic given that he's literally the one who told his councillors not to nominate anyone
Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said the Oireachtas may have to look at changing the process by which a person gets on the ballot in presidential elections, which he described as "restrictive".

There was no conceivable world in which the British justice system would find one of their own guilty of war crimes when they're enthusiastically supporting a genocide. But even still, the Bloody Sunday verdict is a slap in the face for all Irish people.

In today’s news, Israel’s stupid fucking genocidal rapists ran over an unexploded ordnance from their own evil carpet bombing campaign, blamed Hamas, started fucking bombing Gaza again, killed scores of civilians, and then quietly backed down on urging from Washington.

A miracle they’re still alive. Elated for their families. Can’t help but think of all the hostages who would have also come home two years ago had Netanyahu chosen his own people over his thirst for war.
Hamas has released all 20 remaining living hostages.
The Israeli military says it has taken custody of them and will transport them onward to Israel. Follow AP's live updates.

The key exchange follows a breakthrough ceasefire after two years of war. U.S. President Donald Trump was also arriving in the region along with other leaders to discuss the U.S.-proposed deal and postwar plans.

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.
