The amount of media people, (some not all), over the last few days posting tributes to their ‘dear’ or ‘close’ friend Sinead O’Connor makes my stomach turn, especially due to the fact a few of them were publicly lambasted by Sinead for their treatment of her.

Talking to Fine Gael, accepting cringe label of the ‘Irish AOC’, modelling an outfit costing €1,000+ that a woman worker could only dream of in a cost of living crisis — it seems @HollyCairnsTD and the SocDems are letting us know that they’ll change absolutely nothing.

A little child found a dandelion in the grass and is handing it or showing it to an older boy. All the people in this picture were waiting to be killed in gas chamber. They were murdered some time later.

Congratulations are due to @mosweeney1 for this gripping two-part series on Ireland's Civil War, which one of its many contributors aptly described as being "like the bogeyman under the bed". It's a great contribution to our understanding of the terrible things that happened ...
Berthold Wolpe created the Albertus typeface in the 1930s for the British branch of Monotype and named it after German philosopher and theologian Albertus Magnus. He often used it when designing jackets for Faber. My guess is he did this beauty. @Wolpe
