Introduction time again: I am a French citizen living on the west coast of #Ireland for 30 years. I write about ideas and #VisualArts. I continually struggle as to whether writing is the best way to engage, so I'm #re-wilding my #garden. Lots of PDFs on my website.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Its not monsters from outer space
Its humans scraping the bottom floor and sucking up every life form that exists, leaving nothing
Fish often in vain flee for their lives

Also releases 370 million metric tons of planet-warming c02 every year, roughly same as running 100 coal power plants

"As a result, I know much more about Connolly now than I did before this campaign started.

Conversely, I know pretty much the same amount today as I did about Heather Humphreys’s life and values pre-campaign."

Catherine Connolly’s podcasts and viral moments V Heather Humphreys freezing under no pressure.

I wrote about the big differences between how the Irish presidential candidates communicate and connect.

Connolly has appeared on several podcasts that appeal to younger audiences and the more candid format suits her

L'arrogance et l'absence totale de remise en question d'Emmanuel Macron sont des cas d'école à enseigner sur la toxicité de la Vème République.

Son refus d'admettre sa défaite est le seul responsable du chaos actuel, mais il prétend incarner la stabilité.

Hallucinant.
Depuis l’Égypte, Macron nie toute responsabilité dans la crise politique et dénonce ceux qui font des « paris sur l’instabilité »
À son arrivée à Charm el-Cheikh en Egypte, le chef de l’État s’est dédouané de toute responsabilité et a rejeté la faute sur les oppositions et certains partenaires du « socle commun ».

A reminder from 2023:

“You know, in a couple of years’ time people will be able to resolve this issue themselves, in relation to whether they want a silent person, a puppet, or whether they want a president.”

On RTÉ Radio 1, CC says it's clear that there is no difference now between FF & FG leadership because MM is going to vote for HH.

CC asks FF voters to look back to the peace values of Frank Aiken, which she now represents.

Le jour où E Macron appellera Manuel Valls pour Matignon et que lui aussi dira qu’il a piscine, qu’il décline, alors, à ce moment seulement, la lumière s’éteindra à l’Élysée et chacun sera amené à admettre l’agonie de la 5e République. Il faut en finir avec le présidentialisme

indeed, sociological studies show that people want more, much more democracy. Those that turn their back on it are our leaders, they have a democratic crisis. Perhaps because they know they are part of the problem.
