2 years after winning The Irish Novel Fair and failing to secure an agent or publication, my next novel, The Cocklemen, is among the winners of The Book Edit Writers’ Prize. Lightning can strike twice. So here we go, let’s try this again. Maybe this time it will happen.

Can the 60k people being given the boot from Microsoft all get together and form a new company that builds a version of Windows and Office that doesn’t have AI, doesn’t use Sharepoint or OneDrive and doesn’t suck?

Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dónal Lunny. A giant of Irish traditional music, Dónal helped shape the sound of Irish music for generations, bringing our rich musical heritage to audiences at home and around the world. His contribution to Irish music and culture will never be forgotten. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

JD Vance says Ukraine shouldn't be bombing Russian diesel plants, but I'm pretty sure it's Russia who shouldn't be killing Ukrainian children.

She was only four when Trump said he would end the war in 24 hours. Just turned six when Musk decided to join Trump on Putin’s side and help the Kremlin killers murder her
At the funeral of one of the Ukrainian kids murdered by Russians this week, while the U.S. hobbled the country's defenses. Elizaveta Sorochyshyna, age 6. Relatives and friends left stuffed toys near her coffin. Elizaveta was one of three children among the 23 people killed by russians that day.

114 children all with single sniper shots to the head. Some as young as 5 years old. Read that again. They're "hunting" children for fun. #StopTheGame

Since Robert Kraft is in the news, this is a good time to remind you what he did. In 2019, he went twice in two days to a massage parlor in Jupiter, FL. The first time he got a handjob. The second time he got a blowjob. Cops were already suspicious of the place so they had cameras that caught it all. BUT... Bob is a billionaire. So he hired the best lawyers money could buy for "high 6 to low 7 figures" and they found a judge who ruled the cameras violated the law and tossed everything out. Bob walked. The women did not. They were arrested and charged with prostitution. So in short.. fuck that guy and his holier than thou moral charade.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

My Lord. @JoeBiden, 83 years old, battling Stage 4 cancer that has spread to his bones, stood for HOURS alongside @DrBiden as the names of 9/11 victims were read. Donald Trump fell asleep at the 9/11 event at the Pentagon. One showed respect despite his pain. The other couldn't even stay awake. Trump is an embarrassment to the nation and the office he holds. Really says it all.

Since its foundation in 1824 the bravery of Royal National Lifeboat Institution volunteers has saved more than 146,700 lives at sea. Hundreds of those volunteers have died attempting to save others. They are the best of us. Any person or organisation questioning their actions or loyalty to this country should be corrected and ostracised. Anyone can drown, but no one should. rnli.org/support-us

Farage and Reform UK are in deep trouble. However, after 3 days, @Verbatim_Media's 37 minute video of their extraordinary year-long undercover investigation into Reform UK's illegal foreign donations has only got 161k views. It should have several million. So please repost this and then share the video. youtu.be/RugPik-G1Jw?is=-ikY… – at Brighton, England

Nigel Farage and other senior members of Reform UK have been filmed by undercover reporters celebrating secret new foreign donations. Channel 4 News and @Verbatim_Media, a group of investigative journalists, can today reveal a plot to break the law on party funding at the highest levels of Reform UK. You can watch the full investigation here: youtu.be/aXut3s90rUI Channel 4 News approached Reform UK, Mr Farage, Mr Jukes and Mr Orr for comment on the findings of this investigation. They did not comment but we understand they deny the allegations in full.
