There is an easy 1st class Masters thesis waiting to be written by some politics or comms student looking just at how "scarleh for you" is passed off as an argument by elite opinion in Ireland. So often the line boils down to "the bigger boys might laugh at us" www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...
Dr Eoin Drea: Ireland’s EU presidency will underline how out of touch we are with Europe
We need to leave our confused policy inconsistencies at home and focus instead on being administrative nerds

Just heard from a friend on a different continent about the positive outcome to a horrendous health situation faced by a child & I feel a need to remind you all that doctors and nurses and medical researchers and hospital cleaners and administrators do the Lord's work. We live in an age of miracles.

I've never sat the Bar exam but as someone who has sat some hard exams, I have some excellent methods to secure success. You can access my wisdom by paying a proportionate amount of income tax and enrolling at an institute of higher education. It's really a good deal.

Just wasting my train commute reading about the insane 1990s critical backlash to Veruca Salt, a pretty neat grunge band that happened to be fronted by two women. "Selling out" was such a weird idea to be so widely embraced

It is good to be reminded that there are good things that are getting better.
I have a friend on the Mizen peninsula - which is about as remote as it gets on this island - who can go into the Big Town (Bantry) do his shopping, have a pint and a sandwhich and get brought back 50 yards from his front door - it's changed his life.
