The administration now faces a stark choice—one it can no longer avoid. A. Use force to reopen the strait, knowing full well that any strike on Iran’s energy infrastructure will trigger retaliation. This is not a limited operation. It’s escalation—potentially rapid, and potentially uncontrollable. There are no half-measures here: if Washington wants the strait open, it will have to fight for it. B. Accept reality, cut losses, and pursue a deal with Tehran over the terms of access. Politically unpalatable? Absolutely. But when global oil flows and the stability of Asian markets are at stake, strategic necessity tends to override rhetoric. What last night made unmistakably clear is this: there is no clean solution. No surgical fix. No easy win. The longer the administration pretends otherwise, the higher the cost will be #IranWar
Javier Blas@JavierBlas

The US and its allies are making a concerted effort to de-escalate the oil/gas war, having witnessed that Iran was willing -- and able -- to climb the escalation ladder very quickly. To be seen whether Tehran plays ball. Whatever the case, the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.

The year is 2026 & AIB still insist on using one of these to set up a simple standing order. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Only took an hour of searching the house to find it.

I just got quoted €3,500 to insure a 2026 Isuzu pickup. WTAF! Is insurance in Ireland run by some sort of white collar crime syndicate/cartel? Should I fund a campaign to investigate Irish insurance CEOs? Anyone want to help?

If you're buying a new house you should definitely get one of these firms to come in and do a snag list. The level of quality on new builds is off the scale.

For about 5% of the cost of building the Metrolink you could make every single Dublin Bus service free, put on 50% more buses and put on a free bus leaving every 5 minutes forever from Dublin airport to the city centre (which would get you in quicker)

Ireland is 100 years too late with its metrolink project, and with a starting budget of €2 billion it’s more likely to be finalized in 30 years time with a lot of government “cronies” getting lots of backhanders and brown envelopes, maybe come in around €200 billion?

€625,000 sticker price, sale price could end up being more. FTB needs 60-70 grand handy for deposit. Mortgage interest over 25 years could be upwards of €300k. So million in total for a 3bed semi-D, old, not particularly warm or comfortable, and will probably need expensive work done within the first decade. Don't worry though, "our economy" is doing great! At least it's not the 1980s! Just lay off the frappucinos and you'll be grand! 😉

The Irish gov asked the EU not to include whiskey, aircraft, meditech and agricultural products in their planned retaliatory tariffs. The EU told the Irish gov to get stuffed & included them all. The Irish gov has no influence on the EU. independent.ie/irish-news/iri…

„Ubogacenie” dotarło już pod Wawel. Nie mówcie, że nie ostrzegaliśmy! 🌍 Przez lata elity z Brukseli i ich warszawscy klakierzy wciskali nam bajki o „dobrodziejstwach” masowej imigracji: „różnorodność”, „otwartość”, „kulturalne ubogacenie”. My biliśmy na alarm 🚨. Mówili: „Jesteście ksenofobami, straszycie ludzi”. 🗣️ Mówili: „U nas tego nie będzie, Polska jest inna”. A jednak…

In an interview with OJ Simpson's Defence Lawyer, originally talking about the Sean "Diddy" Combs verdict, Alan Dershowitz began to ask Ciara Kelly why Ireland "has become the most anti-Semitic country in all of Europe." Listen for more now.

Saifedean Ammous@saifedean·
He is survived by his two sons, Ahmad and me, his daughter Dana, and three loving grandchildren who lit up his last ten years. Nothing can compare with the joy his grandchildren brought him. No money or accomplishment by him or me could have made him happier than my 2 year old making ever more outrageous demands for gifts as she tries to discover if there is anything he won't get her. His joy around her convinced me that the best thing you can do for your parents is to give them grandchildren. It seems offensive that life could be this simple and banal, that mere reproduction is the secret to its satisfaction, but he showed me it was true, and far from banal. We humans are wired to spend our lives seeking reproduction, and having it shape our happiness and satisfaction, because we wouldn't exist otherwise.  In my 44 years of life, I never recall seeing him bedridden with illness, and after five decades of caring for patients and children, he must have dreaded the thought of being on the receiving end of the care of others.  Dr. Ammous passed on the first day of Eid Al Adha, while taking a nap, after having called his friends and family to exchange Eid greetings. He died suddenly and immediately, and almost certainly felt nothing, and never had to suffer any serious illness or confront his impending mortality.  He lived blissfully immersed in his life's mission until its very last second. And he succeeded in it completely and perfectly. He gave his children everything they needed until they needed nothing more from him. The only consolation in his passing is that until his last minute he was strong, cheerful, healthy, sharply-dressed, and eagerly looking forward to seeing his grandchildren in a few days and giving them the many gifts he bought for them, and looking forward to vacationing this summer with his family in his beloved Madrid.  In his passing, he deprived his loving children of the chance to provide him a tiny fraction of the love and care he provided them for decades. This was a man determined to contribute more to this world than take from it, and to give his children everything. And he accomplished his life's mission clinically, like his surgeries.

Dr. Hisham Ammous: Life as Clinical Surgery Sept 1, 1944 - June 6, 2025 Hisham Saifedean Rashid Ammous was born in the village of Atteel in Palestine on September 1, 1944. After finishing high school in nearby Fadiliya school in Tulkarem, he moved to Saudi Arabia to work as a school teacher, then to Kuwait to work in the electric company. Unsatisfied with his career, he decided to become a doctor, and applied for a scholarship from the Jordanian government to the University of Madrid in Spain, through the Spanish embassy in Jordan. He moved to Madrid without speaking a word of Spanish, but graduated as a surgeon with distinction in 1976. After that scholarship, he practically never needed, asked for, or took anything from anyone until his last day. In his five decades as a surgeon, Dr. Ammous must have performed over 20,000 surgeries across Spain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan, Palestine, Brazil, Lebanon, and Libya. He relished his work as a plastic and reconstructive surgeon. To his profession and mission, he was the most devoutly dedicated man. He lived for surgery. Come rain, shine, snow, checkpoints, military invasions, cranky kids, genocide, or regional war, he found a way to make it to Al Makassed Hospital in Jerusalem almost every day, braving countless Israeli occupation checkpoints and dealing with the young criminals manning them and getting all of their life's meaning from the impunity they have to make the lives of innocent Palestinians hell. He became a regular traveler to wars and refugee camps to perform surgeries. He worked nonstop all day for days on end in warzones. He went to Gaza for surgeries after every Israeli mass slaughter over the years, and was desperate for the current genocide to end so he could return. His favorite 'vacation' was to visit me in Lebanon and perform dozens of free surgeries for destitute refugees. His discipline was supernatural. He was never late for anything in his life, and was never disorganized. No matter what life threw at him, he relentlessly pursued his mission and was always prepared. His doggedness, determination, focus, and obsession will sound insane to most people, which is why most people will never perform 20,000 surgeries or do anything remotely as important with their lives. In his wake, hundreds of messages have poured in from people remembering how he helped them with his kind generosity, healed them with his skilled hands, and made them laugh with his legendary searing wit. Among the most amazing stories I heard was that he gave his patients’ families the keys to his hospital office so they could sleep in it and not have to drive through hours of checkpoints every day. His supreme motivation in life, and the thing that gave life meaning for him, was to give his children a life better than the one he had, and he dedicated himself to it until the very end. He never ceased repeating this lesson to me, and he exemplified it every day. All his time, attention, and interests revolved around improving the lives of his children. He understood the whole of our human civilization rests on the foundation of people investing in giving their children a better life, and this was also the most profound lesson I learned from years of studying economics, and the central theme and most important lesson of my third and best book, Principles of Economics. For teaching me this lesson before I could read, that book was dedicated to him. [continues in next tweet]

US officials have allegedly warned Ireland that hate speech legislation will censor Americans, and they won’t be accepted by tech industries based here. Ireland finds itself in between a rock and a hard place, according to Ian O'Doherty, Columnist with the Irish Independent.
