@Holocaust_Irl @IrishTimesOpEd @faniaoz @daverich1 @DavidHirsh @Fathom_Editor @Kasparov63 @eurojewcong @adammaanit @CombatASemitism I’ve taken part in diverse (but closed) group discussions about finding a term for the sub-group of militant supremacist nationalists who compound the problems on the Israeli end. “Zionist” is not a useful term to define them. Am impressed you raised your head above the parapet.

@Anna_Mazz The cat returned to them a few weeks later but they returned it lickety-split. Stockholm Syndrome?

[Ciaran Buckley @ciaranpbuckley]

@Anna_Mazz They were probably afraid we’d call cops, i the US a $3,000 fancy cat counts as property and they didn’t want to end up doing time.

[Ciaran Buckley @ciaranpbuckley]

@Anna_Mazz It did. It also made a good MothX story. Post-rescue, kidnappers claimed they were just “just minding it”and “were about to call.”

Quick stops at Target, Walmart, buzzing through some busy downtowns -- then a whistle-stop tour of local train stations. Rep. Tom Kean may not know his way around the places where regular constituents hang out in CD-7, but we do! #OneTermTom

If any white correspondent delivered these words into a camera, the whole world would stop

[Conor O'Neill @conoraon]

Something so satisfying about this man’s refusal to take the bait with the usual leading questions on migration. Just calmly & stubbornly fair-minded, straightforward, no nonsense answers in a perfect Wexford accent right in the middle of the town. 10/10

@OSullyj79 Can’t beat a schkelp of jouissance a la #helenecisoux. And feck the begrudgers.

I was a young student of about 18 when I first encountered the writing of Edna O’Brien. At an English tutorial in UCC Professor Patricia Coughlan distributed an extract from “The Country Girls” for our consideration. Although I had never seen it before I recognised it instantly.
