He really wants admiration, recognition, and validation.
It’s all grandiosity and self-magnification. He has this desire to build legitimacy, it’s rooted in needing to demonstrate competence rather than simply experience it.
It’s shows he is hypersensitive to criticism or perceived

Currently on the train to Derry from Belfast. Not only was there an unscheduled 15 minute stop in Ballymoney to allow another train pass, there is now another at the end of the runway at Derry Airport to allow a plane to land. North West customers playing second fiddle. @intothewestrail.bsky.social

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

No right thinking person wants a cease fire in Gaza to come to an end. It is getting hard to believe that it is genuine or that Palestinians will emerge from this with rights to own land in the whole of Gaza. Meanwhile theft of land by "settlers" continues unabated in the West Bank.
"Ceasefire over" 😡
Israeli artillery shelled the eastern side of the Al-Shuja’iyya neighborhood in Gaza City throughout the entire night.

Israel breaching international law by limiting Gaza aid, says Unrwa official

If Icelandic is in danger then Irish must be in an even worse situation. I wonder how much AI language training in Irish is going on. Is anyone even looking into this urgent issue? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...
Icelandic is in danger of dying out because of AI and English-language media, says former PM
Katrín Jakobsdóttir and her co-author want the 350,000 people who speak the language to fight for its future

In an age of darkness, Mamdani's campaign offers hope.

The socialist left has now triumphed in New York. In New York!!!

Let's hope that's the beginning of the socialist left triumphing everywhere - and driving back the forces of fascism.

Happy Halloween! Lord Byron's poem "Darkness" was published in 1816, the infamous "year without a summer." Its languid mood and despairing yet vivid tone make it a perfect read for this spooky holiday. 🍂 🌙

Ireland elects an independent, socialist woman to the position of president.

Irish Media: ‘Today, we ask what went wrong with the system, what her opponents have to say about it, and how it can be fixed for next time.’

If Jim Gavin gets 12.5% or more, Fianna Fáil gets €250,000 in expenses refunded. Bear that in mind if you're voting for Jim Gavin as a joke.
