“Founded in the Liberties in Dublin in 1826, Prof M O'Connell, Master of TCH, explained that The Coombe Hospital was set up "in the aftermath of a tragedy" when two women lost their lives trying to make their way to the Rotunda hospital for care during a winter storm of 1825”
A new exhibition is celebrating the 200-year history of The Coombe Hospital, which was founded in Dublin in 1826

What a grim opening line:
‘The new owners of the Daily Telegraph have made large numbers of staff redundant, telling them the title will be transformed from a newspaper “into a global, AI-powered premium media and intelligence business”.’

The fascinating documentary by @SineadEOShea follows the complex and thought- provoking story of #FergieChambers activist, communist and billionaire.

Thanks to @thejournal_ie for discussing our call for the de-proscription of Palestine Action and the release of Fergie Chambers.
Our film is by no means a celebration of Chambers but the legal case against him does not align with what we witnessed.

All About The Money next screens in Cambridge, Massachusetts as part of the Globe Docs festival.
I'll be discussing the film and the case of Fergie Chambers with @JamesPindell from the Boston Globe.

Netflix should seize this opportunity to rebuild itself, not in the image of a Major Studio, but of old school HBO. Develop iconic shows, the occasional feature, comedy specials. Keep feature budgets reasonable. The Academy should not consider made for Netflix films for award consideration. Sell their shows and features on physical media. It's time for films to go back to being theatrical first, streaming a secondary market, like HBO used to be. No shame in that. It's a smart business model. It's what allowed HBO to be a powerhouse. It was the most sought after 2nd run market and if your show was on HBO it was considered a top show. hollywoodreporter.com/movies… via @thr

If it makes you feel better to frame it that way Jake but it is in fact a picture I took of poppies blooming on top of a massacre site at the erased Palestinian village of Burayr about ten miles east of the Gaza Strip fence. You can find it on pre 1948 maps if you want to check and you can find Burayr survivors/descendants in Jabaliya refugee camp, tho it will be hard as that too is now erased.
We really enjoyed the UK premiere of All About The Money at the London Film Festival last night and also welcomed the opportunity to call for Fergie Chambers to be freed and Palestine Action to be de-proscribed.

Booker win was ‘disastrous and life-changing’ for Anita Brookner

More than three years in and we're still seeing Palestinian children like Mariam endure horrors like this at the hands of Israel. We're still seeing images that look like visions of hell. How much more will satisfy them?

Early this morning, an Israeli strike on an apartment in Gaza City killed a woman.
Since the ceasefire began just over a year ago, more than 1,490 Palestinians have been killed.

This was a very good article by @mrkocnnll about aspects of Ireland's housing crisis that we've normalised.
