Every church should be doing this, and if your church isn’t, you’re at the wrong church.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

"You can cut all the flowers but you cannot stop the spring from coming"
We're doing this in our community garden on the 18th of May. People talk about "grassroots." We're working on the soil. That's where everything grows 🌱

See when the Romans called Ireland "Hibernia" they were comparing it to a Roman winter rather than the "winter = snow" associations that we have now. They'd seen colder lands, Ireland reminded them of winter back home. Wet and mild.

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

Been seven years since I first read this, on the English language's *completely universal but totally invisible* adjective hierarchy, and I can honestly say I've thought about it most days since.

This story about the PSNI spying on journalist (and producer of the Kneecap movie) Trevor Birney, who then ascertained they were also spying on several other journos including BBC News, should really be making more waves in Ireland:
What happened when two Northern Irish journalists reported on a loyalist massacre? They were arrested and spied on by police
Plus: Two former Tory ministers and ex chief whip break government anti corruption rules

A landmark judgment has found that forces across the UK illegally tried to discover journalists’ sources—now we need the full story
