Howard Hamlin is a tragic character. Not once do his friends use his preferred nickname of ‘The Hamster’.

This, from the hugely experienced Irish courts reporter, Isabel Hayes, on the Minister for Justice’s performative outrage over an ad about children and consent, is worth reading.

There hasn't been a mainstream politician in ages that has provided as many reasons to loath them as Jim O'Callaghan.

Well said

As a member of the public, I support striking workers today. Public sector workers are woefully undervalued, and I thought we learned that lesson during the COVID lockdowns, but apparently we need a reminder. I want workers to be paid fairly for the valuable services they provide. Yup the unions!

As many of you know, we've given 1% of all the money you spend with us to @womensaidireland.bsky.social for over 8 years. A few years ago, we decided to increase this donation to 10% on Bank Holiday weekends. From midnight, it’s a Bank Holiday... Image made by a real life designer.

One of life's quiet miracles: you procrastinate on something for long enough (all the while agonising over why you haven't done it, reflecting on how the situation is only worsening due to your delay, cataloguing it as a serious moral failing on your part) and then the circumstances simply change.

The research, which was commissioned by Sir Mix-A-Lot, appears to support a position that 'real thick and juicy' butts are the key drivers of innovation, rather than structural factors like education, capital formation and the rule of law

My version of 'if it ain't broke...' is: if it's not broke try and fix it before it gets broken, oh shit now I have broken it.

Growing up, I never imagined my life would revolve around logging back into two-factor authentication accounts on a near-constant basis.

Today’s thrill: I clandestinely removed a 'th' from '30th December' in a subhead. Client noticed and insisted on its return, retaliating with a request to add in an 'of' after the 'th'.

A detente was reached that brought us back to where we started. I will learn to live with the 'th' (I did make it superscript in the latest version and am pondering potential repercussions).
