My trick to staying happy is to pretend I’m a hunter from the last Ice Age transported to our time. Suddenly the smallest things – glass windows, locks, bound books – are marvels beyond telling. The tap runs with ever-flowing water. I’m grateful not to be impaled by a boar.

@pondsntrees @thesilvervoice @CoffeeDoq Spotted the same yesterday in Co. Kildare

@thesilvervoice @CoffeeDoq I'm in county Mayo.

Everywhere you go in Ireland today, rows of trees have either been chopped down, chopped in half or chopped down to stumpy things with the fork like remains of branches. It's such a depressing sight.

@moorehn It’s so disrespectful to ‘St Partrick’ as well

this feels slightly racist

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from NYC! Fun fact: construction of the Empire State Building began on this day in 1930. Celebrating tonight with green lights and the Irish flag rotating in the mast. 🇮🇪 Text CONNECT to 274-16 for real-time lighting updates. See the lights live: esbo.nyc/ecx

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️ In 1847, during the Irish Potato Famine, Choctaws gathered what they could and sent a donation to help the people of Ireland. That act of generosity created a lasting friendship between the Choctaw and Irish people that continues today. From one community to another, it’s a reminder that kindness can travel far and endure for generations. 💚 Learn more about this connection at choctawnation.com/about/history/….

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀 Are you wearing green today? Ireland sure is! In this Landsat image, folded limestone forms swirls of gray amidst the shades of green near Ireland’s west coast.

What’s wrong, babe? You’ve barely touched your “snake-shaped cheese and onion crisps.”

Today is the ninth anniversary of the BBC Dad blooper. Marion is now 13; James is now 9. Some recent pictures are attached below. We did an interview looking back on the blooper for @InsideEdition, which should be up shortly. 1 youtube.com/watch?v=Mh4f9A…

Ugh just read a Substack article by a lit mag editor that I'm almost certain was edited with AI. The style is so common: * short, punchy sentences * "This, not that" construction. ("It's not a rejection; it's a sign the process is working...") * Things in threes. ("Not a no, not a rejection, not a closed door. A window to something better...") I cannot say it enough: writers & editors, please stop relying on AI to help you edit your stuff. AI strips you of your own voice & makes you sound like a machine. It's utterly depressing to read such pieces from writers and lit mag editors.
