I'm launching a course: Build a LocalGov Drupal Website. Wanna keep up to take with progress (and perhaps - probably - get a discount code before it launches)? the-confident.com/courses/buil...

The #DDEV release cadence keeps on ticking ⏱️. Last month saw a new v1.25.4 🚀 with updated snapshots 📸 and so much more. ddev.com/blog/ddev-se... Support DDEV with a small monthly donation 💙 and help it continue to move forward.

That time I got to play for my country (as a web developer). youtu.be/_tyDPI6P-Ko

I imagine if one single Irish footballer stands up and says he won't play, the rest will follow. Will only take one. Where's the one?

I have set up a ko-fi goal! Later this month, I am undergoing experimental treatment to try and help restore my sense of smell, which I lost ~12 years ago. It is VERY EXPENSIVE (and, like, scientifically-backed. I am not being scammed), but if it works could change my life ko-fi.com/guy/goal?g=2

The Irish for the colour orange is “bui -dearg” (yellow-red). The Irish for the fruit orange is “oráiste”

Content warning: Multiple men violently assault a female protester at Reform's conference at the Birmingham NEC, to the visible delight of Nigel Farage.

CSS text-box is newly baseline, and it's solves a common text layout issue. Here's how it works:

Nice to see them boycotting FIFA over capitalism, but it’s a pity UEFA wouldn’t boycott Israel over genocide. www.independent.ie/sport/soccer...

Witnesses of Ulm 5 trial in Germany speak out. Irish citizen Daniel Tatlow-Devally is subject to a show trial for taking action for Palestine. He is locked up 23 hours a day and only allowed to talk to family for an hour a month. Irish government must send observers.

Be like Pico

So much to love about Pico waving the Irish flag, not least that he, a proud Irishman of African heritage and as Dublin as can be, embodies the kind of Irishness that the far right can't abide but is a thriving feature in communities across the island.

10 years ago, days before the Brexit referendum. There was a deadly terrorist attack in Britain. Afterwards, nothing happened and very few people today will refer to what happened by its name. 1/

Sick of "legitimate concerns". "I'm scared of black people" isn't a "legitimate," it's just racism. "LGBT people make me irrationally angry" isn't "legitimate," you just fear difference. It's not legitimate to wish you lived in a country with only people who are exactly like you.

My street preachers? Manic.

I vote we send the taoiseach to visit the Choctaw Nation every St Patrick's Day instead of the White House

That match did more for Anglo-Irish relations than the Good Friday Agreement.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Need to migrate content one page at a time? Mark Conroy’s @mark.ie new contrib module uses AI to import structured content from URLs into Drupal nodes—no copy/paste needed. TDT feature: https://bit.ly/3LS9uhP #Drupal #ContentMigration #OpenSource #AIinCMS

Love these short nuggets from @kevinpowell.co youtu.be/Uynb7Ci8JMg?...

The British state has used every method they can to isolate and break the spirits of the 8 prisoners who stand with Palestine. They are now close to dying & the British state doesn't care. Irish people know hunger strikes. We know British oppression. We know colonialism. Stand up, take Action 🇵🇸
