Mark Carney huge Evertonian and now the new PM of Canadá 🍁

If you watch one thing today make it this remarkable speech by an independent French senator. It captures the moment @ClaudeMalhuret

Michael Coleman's untimely passing is all the more shocking because he was unbreakable on the field for @Galway_GAA. Cyril Farrerll, Pete Finnerty, and Colm Bonner pay tribute to the @abbeyknockmoyhc man. #GAABelong gaa.ie/article/silent…

Michael Coleman. Before my time but heard some great stories about the man from teammates of the past. Hero for club and county. Stuff of legends scoring the winning point in a county final - especially as underdogs, in a replay. May he rest in peace.

🕯️Remembering Michael Coleman, R.I.P 🕯️ Galway GAA are deeply saddened at the sudden and untimely passing of the former Galway Hurling Captain Michael Coleman of the @abbeyknockmoyhc Club. Michael represented Galway with distinction at Minor, Intermediate and Senior levels. He won an All-Ireland Under 21 Hurling title with Galway in 1983. He went on to play a starring role at midfield when Galway retained the All-Ireland Senior title against Tipperary in 1988. In an Intercounty career spanning over 10 years, Michael also won three National League Titles including captaining the winning Galway team in 1996. His contribution on the National stage was recognised by his selection on three All-Star hurling teams in 1989, 1990 and 1995. Michael also represented University College Galway in the Fitzgibbon Cup as well as being the star of the St. Jarlath's College team that narrowly lost the Connacht Senior B Post Primary Hurling Final in 1981. Michael took great pride in his club and was an important part of the Abbeyknockmoy team which won the Galway Senior Hurling Championship in 1988. When his playing days were over his commitment to the club was unwavering: serving as mentor, coach and officer over the years. Michael was also active within Báireoirí Na Gaillimhe, a group consisting of former Galway hurlers. Michael was  coach with the Leitrim Senior Hurlers when they claimed the Lory Meagher Cup in 2019. Outside of the GAA, Michael was a committed community activist involving himself in many activities within the locality. He will be sorely missed by the Galway GAA community. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with his wife Mary, daughter Sinead and son Dara, his extended family, the Abbeyknockmoy Hurling club and community at this incredibly difficult time. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis Funeral arrangements as follows: rip.ie/death-notice/m… Grant me O Lord, a hurler’s skill, With strength of arm and speed of limb Unerring eye for the flying ball And courage to match whate’er befall May my stroke be steady, and my aim be true My actions manly and my misses few No matter what way the game may go May I rest in friendship with every foe When the final whistle for me has blown And I stand at last before God’s judgement throne May the great referee when he calls my name Say, you hurled like a man; you played the game.

Delighted to see this. One of the greats. He was so giving of his time to all students in Davitt College when I was there and was so helpful to me with my book too. A total gent.

👀 Final PBS/NPR/Marist poll shows Harris wiping out Trump’s lead among men Trump down from +16 among men last month to just +4 now Harris still leads among women by double digits (+11)

⛪ Fresh off a campaign stop in Pennsylvania, President Biden just left Mass at Brandywine Catholic Church, keeping up his record-breaking streak as the most church-going president in 70 years. Meanwhile, Christian are still rallying behind a guy with three marriages, a porn star payout, a rape liability, and a laundry list of felony charges. Mind boggling stuff.

There’s a Celtic cross in the village that commemorates the Irish Brigade that fought on the side of the French. Known as the Wild Geese, the 4,000 Irish mercenaries played a key role in defeating the British. #Echobox=1730648587-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">brusselstimes.com/hidden-belgium…

@JoJoFromJerz Puerto Rico is a predominantly Catholic place, and yet white Catholics are enthusiasticly supporting Trump. Christ died on the Cross for everyone.

Kamala Harris is in Philly today talking about her plans to help the people of Puerto Rico at the same time the speakers at Trump’s rally are calling Puerto Rico a “floating garbage island” and joking about Latinos not “pulling out” and Black people “carving watermelons.” Vote.

Delighted to welcome Madina & Diego to the VOICES team. Really looking forward to working with them over the months ahead as we recover the lived experiences of women in early modern Ireland as part of our @ERC_Research

🇺🇸USMC Veteran and Gold Star Widow Katherine Wyatt has a question for @JDVance about Trump's Arlington stunt: "Instead of trying to appeal to the moral consciousness of Donald Trump because I don't believe he has any...Where is your integrity, Marine? #TrumpDishonorsUS

Our Manuscript of the Week is a collection of astronomical & medical tracts, RIA MS B ii 1. Originally written in Arabic in the 9th C by Messahalah of Alexandria, these texts were later translated into Latin before being translated into Irish, as in this early 15th C manuscript.

If you watch one thing today, please make it this from @Lawrence. I implore you. Absolute fire. 🔥
