@RobLooseCannon So sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace

@AlanMortimer9 @OperaSocialist I mean... listening, considering what's being said, formulating a response that addresses what your opponent has actually said... how quaint!

@RobLooseCannon Oh, I love this! But tell me more about the Rakes of Mallow... 🤔🤔

@PadraigBelton @acailler @dailystar Fascinating!

[BUCHANAN: Dublin Time Machine @RobLooseCannon]

Check out this satellite map of Dublin from 1966! Yep that's right,
on 19 February 1966, a KH-7 GAMBIT reconnaissance satellite operated by the CIA passed over Dublin. This magic window on our city just before things went international. You can zoom in to surprising detail. Go fullscreen then use the transparency slider at the bottom right so you can compare now with 66'!

KH-7s primary purpose was Cold War espionage against Soviet and Chinese nuclear and missile installations. This slice of swinging Dublin was used to calibrate. Mad what I find lying around the Dublin Time Machines magic drawers. The photo below is just a screenshot, you've to click the link

@abierkhatib ''I always remember when Madeleine Albright announced that Israel was under siege...
For a brief moment I asked myself: 'if there were Palestinian tanks in Haifa?'

How do we reach a stage where we so distort reality that we actually have a lethal effect on the conflict itself''

@AngelaLeeAngle @dearvotion It looks...less than cosy

[Fin Moorhouse @finmoorhouse]

Thinking about the time our high school English teacher gave us a poem to analyse

When we finished she told us it was Donald Rumsfeld’s WMD press conference, and that was the class

Help needed

Our bike for bringing our daughter about was stolen in Phibsboro last night - it's an orange e-cargo bike.

A camera from a neighbours house shows it was two young enough lads that stole it.

Most grateful if anyone spots it if they could DM me

@Nialler6767 @dublin_damo You're not wrong...but you're also deeply wrong

[Mary Conroy @QuietContrary]

@SineadRoisin77 @dramdarcy I have memories of the father & 1 son, maybe 2 of them, in a trench that they never seemed to leave. Did... Did the war ever end??

@SilentTheatre1 @bostonradio Return to Eden was top tier. Was there ANYTHING as rewarding as relaying the latest plot twist to your bestie whose parents (boo! hiss!) wouldn't let them watch such schlock

@littlecatdiary @harripaws This must be one of those 'rage bait' posts I'm always hearing about. George wasn't always honourable in his dealings with women but this passage isn't it
