I help bring books into the world, but I don't rear them.

This is why you couldn’t make brass eye today. This is too funny. He even unintentionally delivered a punchline

[Patricia Devlin @trishdevlin]

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.
Expect to read a few “stories” from said individuals over the coming days which they know will never be clarified because sadly, she is no longer here. #NothingCompares2U

"Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it."

— Hannah Arendt

‘Leadership’ is conceptualised in The Leadership Mind as “insight into people, their situation, and their prospects”.

But what about 'action'?

In this article, we expand on how 'action' is integral to 'leadership' as we understand it.

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.

Good on University of Buffalo for investing in Joyce. As the Bloomsday jamboree concludes, Ireland still can't see the value or cover the price of Joyce's house of "The Dead". Despite much progress, we continue to look the Joyce gifthorse in the mouth.

I would rather die escaping than being brutally murdered wouldn't you?

We can only hope that this little piggy survived and didn't go to market and be horrifically killed.

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

A heart-breaking moment saved in an SS picture of deportations of Hungarian Jews at Auschwitz II-Birkenau. It was taken 79 years ago, most likely in late May 1944.

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.

Please RT this unique document.

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 ...

[Just Joyce @johnstonglenn]

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

People often let Johnson off the hook by using labels of convenience like 'liar' 'idiot' or 'chancer'.

In this article, we look for an appropriate concept that could possibly reveal something important about Boris Johnson's behaviour.
