It’s a good week when Prince Andrew is not the most embarrassing thing to happen to England. #englandvireland

Just read this beautiful story 😭❤ I live in a 12-unit apartment building. For two years, I didn't know a single neighbor. We'd pass in the hallway. Nod. Maybe say "hey." Then disappear into our separate lives. That was normal. That was city living. Then someone new moved into Unit 3. Her name was Diana. She was maybe 70, recently widowed, moving to be closer to her daughter. The first week, she knocked on every door in the building. "Hi, I'm Diana from Unit 3. Just wanted to introduce myself." Most people were polite but brief. We weren't used to this. But Diana didn't take the hint. The next week, she left a note in the lobby: "Building potluck. This Saturday. 6 PM. Bring whatever you want. Or just bring yourself." I almost didn't go. But Saturday came, and I could hear voices in the lobby. Five people showed up. Out of twelve units. We stood around awkwardly at first. Diana had made enough food for twenty people. "Just in case," she said, smiling. We talked. Actual conversations. Turned out the guy in Unit 7 was a musician. The woman in Unit 10 just had a baby. The couple in Unit 5 ran a bakery. We'd lived on top of each other for years and knew nothing about each other. Diana made it a monthly thing. Then someone suggested a building group chat. "For emergencies," they said. But it became more than that. "Anyone have a ladder I can borrow?" "I made too much soup. Anyone want some?" "Can someone feed my cat this weekend?" When the woman in Unit 10 had to go back to work, three neighbors offered to babysit. When the musician in Unit 7 had a gig, eight of us showed up to support him. When someone's car got towed, four people offered rides. Last month, Diana's daughter called me. Diana had fallen and was in the hospital—nothing serious, but she'd need help for a few weeks. We created a schedule. Someone brought her meals every day. Someone else took her to appointments. She cried when she came home and saw the system we'd built. "I just wanted to know my neighbors," she said. But she did more than that. She turned twelve strangers in separate boxes into a community that shows up for each other. All because she knocked on doors and refused to let us stay isolated.

@Acyn Terrifying distortion of the truth. Utterly shameful. My condolences to all in the US living in the shadow of such blatantly manipulative disinformation.

Reporter: Did he brandish a gun? Noem: This individual assaulted our officers. I don't know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun. Reporter: Video shows he was disarmed before shots were fired.

@irishathletics Delighted to see Lauren fulfilling her potential with this kind of breakthrough. 🔥 Lots more to come 💪

Lauren Roy is on fire! 🔥 The 25-year-old clocks a sensational 22.89 for 200m in Texas, a HUGE outright PB which sees her move second on the Irish All-Time List behind only Rhasidat Adeleke 🤩 #IrishAthletics

No he didn’t, Libby. His written remarks referred to Greenland as a “piece of ice” because that’s what it is. You’re the only one mixing anything up here.

@TrackAthletesie 😊 Such incredible consistency from her. So unfortunate not to pick up gold at Worlds but that Euro XC 🥇 was sweet!

@PaidinM 2nd is, of course, what I meant! Thanks for pointing it out.

@dubslife1 Urine the way there mate!

@SeamusCarey Heard a radio interview with Ronán last week. Apparently, Julia Roberts read the book and got in touch to say she loved it. Ronán mentioned this in passing when the series was in the planning and producers contacted her agent, chancing their arm. She jumped at the chance.

Just discovered a little gem of a tv series - Leonard and Hungry Paul - a BBC/RTE production based on a book of the same name by Ronán Hession. It's quiet, slow, still and so moving. Alex Lawther is a revelation. And Julia Roberts narrates!

@CarolineKay117 Beautiful. Every best wish to you 🙏

A song as I near the end of week 1 of my chemo journey. I know things are likely about to get challenging with hair-loss, but I’m taking it as a win that most other yuk side effects have been kept away. So Far So Good 🤞🏼💕 #singer #singersongwriter #cancer #breastcancer #chemo

It was at this moment she knew...

It is little wonder that @MichealMartinTD and @SimonHarrisTD have such disdain for @catherinegalway Time after time she has calmly and articulately called them out.

Looking forward to directing this joyous show at the Gaiety Theatre in June. 🎸🎷🎺

@FineGael Absolute own goal here for FG. Reeks of pure desperation.

Catherine Connolly's hypocrisy.
