Free to say what I want now....but it's mostly via poetry. Though I also find time for a podcast on the social history of my home place. @littlebangorstories

Why do rich people always fundraise by asking poorer people to donate to charity? Perhaps if you paid your taxes and paid workers a real living wage there would be less need for charity.

An updated plan to boost Northern Ireland's resilience to climate change has been approved by the executive. Although it covers five years, it’s already halfway through its schedule, meaning many actions need to speed up to stay on track. Louise Cullen has the story.

What have we become.....the word "immoral" isn't enough...
Mike Levin@MikeLevin

This is totally insane. A war correspondent just received death threats from online gamblers who wanted him to change his reporting on an Iranian missile strike so they could collect a payout. One bettor had $900,000 riding on the outcome. He told the journalist he knew where he lived and who his family members were.  This is what prediction markets on life and death actually look like in practice. This is exactly why I introduced the DEATH BETS Act with Senator @AdamSchiff. The DEATH BETS Act would ban contracts on assassinations, deaths of world leaders, and acts of war on platforms like Polymarket. This story shows exactly why that matters.  When you let people place million-dollar bets on whether a missile kills someone, you create a financial incentive to threaten journalists, manipulate information, and profit from human suffering. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

@ciaraquill St. Patrick’s Day was such an important feast in Ireland that, even when it fell on a Friday during Lent, the bishops would dispense the faithful from the obligation of fasting and abstinence.

Downtown at 50: This is a very important person in our story. Back in 1976, Rex McKane was NI’s leading ad man who wrote the legendary George Best Cookstown Sausage commercials. At a cost of £25k, Rex agreed a 3-month contract and his was the first advert played on Downtown.

Last week Trump said he didn't need Britain's help because he'd already won this war. So we mustn't let him push the UK around now. Any decision on the deployment of our Armed Forces should be made in the UK's national interest and subject to a vote in Parliament.

These are not DOGE “kids”. These are fully functioning grown men with agency. They made a choice to serve in a capacity to remove jobs, contracts, and services for anyone not white! They were highly unqualified and the very definition of handpicked, merit-less, and privileged.

💬 Ambassador Kelin: The UK is leading, or at least pretending to lead, a coalition of the willing whose main objective is to destroy Russia. The UK is very belligerent in that sense. I've never heard the UK government say anything about peacefully settling the Ukraine crisis.
