Really interested in this topic. British and Irish accents and how they may have influenced dialects and accents in North America and West indies. Has much research been done in this area?

This is such an exciting day for me, with the premiere of the film made about my 17 years rewilding an Irish Atlantic rainforest (also the film's title).

What a surreal moment in my life it'll be to see the ecosystem I know and love so well on a big cinema screen!!

"Eighty-two years after his execution by the Gestapo on June 16, 1944, the Jewish historian and resistance fighter Marc Bloch will be inducted into the Pantheon on June 23... His family requested that 'the far right, in all its forms, be excluded from any participation in the ceremony.'"

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Brilliant posting. We associate @phillipspobrien.bsky.social with Ukraine but this is seriously fast out of the starter blocks for a developing situation on the other side of the world. But it's not unconnected: the worrying theme is around trumps attitude to the world order + geopolitical norms

I'm nostalgic for when we used to get lied to about why a war was being started.
