@chaeriplease Thank you! 💖 Yes it's been awful and still a shock. I probably do remember you, you'd just have to give me some context. I'm hardly ever on Twitter so just saw this today.
Hey, @eircare! Stop sending texts and emails demanding payment to my husband. He has been dead for four months and we have not been Eircom customers for five months! We don't owe you anything.
I was very sorry to hear of the death of Aodhan O’Faolain. He was an outstanding court reporter but, more importantly, an exceptionally decent man. He was also great company. I extend my condolences to his wife Janet and his parents Michael and Maura.
We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of esteemed legal affairs journalist Aodhan O’Faolain.
Aodhan’s work brought clarity and integrity to the reporting of legal matters in Ireland. His dedication to truth and justice and his respect for the legal profession, earned him the admiration of practitioners and readers alike.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
You still have your family.
You still have your friends.
You still have your work.
You still have your passions.
You still have your diversions.
You still have the capacity to feel joy, and the means of doing so.
You still have your mind, which is and will always be yours alone.
And you still have the ability, no matter how difficult it may seem, to choose to carry on with your life, and spend the one and only existence you will get for all eternity in as loving, fulfilling, and authentic a way as you possibly can.
Cdn smugness has to end. We are already walking down the same road as our neighbours. Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, BC Cons, Federal Cons. NS is going to re-elect a man who tries to deny he’s not like Pierre, but uses the same slogans and fights the same fights.
IT’S HERE.
11/ There are not just no guardrails now. The American people have just told the two worst men in the United States—Trump and Musk—that the world is their oyster and they can do whatever they like. And because they are the worst of men, they will take that offer. And *then* some.
