I gotcha, aye. It's been amazing to witness.

Where is the Italy that beat England, or are Wales finally back? #WALvITA #M6N

They've grown into it so well. Difficult to say they're the best, given championship winning teams since 2009, but I'd agree they have to be in the conversation!

Triple Crown won, which would be great any year, but particularly good in a year when we started so badly and were looking so mediocre. The lads improved and improved and really stood up today. #COYBIG #M6N #IREvSCO

There are, indeed, criteria. I mean, they have to be publicly funded too. There are private colleges here, no private universities.

#IREvSCO a Triple Crown and maybe even a #M6N championship to play for. Hopefully gonna be a cracker either way!

They won't look to set up here (because too small), but I'd love if they did. You can only be a university by act of the Oireachtas!

Five cut-out-and-keep bookplates Each reads ‘ex-libris’ then has a space for the owners name. The design reflects the genre: Sci-fi: Nanotechnology tracks the book, monitors its condition and summons a retrieval drone if necessary. Horror: An ancient curse creates feelings of unease, rising to apalling, abject horror unless the book is returned. Romance : Acts as an invite to the county's grandest ball, but revoked if not returned in a polite and timely manner. Crime: Tailed by a dishevelled Gumshoe who Seems cynical, but loves books more than dames and bourbon. Fantasy: A fellowship of heroes lead the borrower on an epic quest to return the tome to its Rightful shelf.

Have a lovely day! Happy Birthday!

I mean, have you asked them? :)

But what about all the hot Scotsmen in kilts? :)

AI toys for young children need tighter rules, researchers warn In first study of its kind, Cambridge researchers found AI toys could misread some children's emotions.

Oh my god people are giving small children AI toys and expecting them to learn communication from them??? THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT HUMANS SHOULD BE DOING THIS IS NOT AI'S JOB WHAT THE HELL www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The staggeringly fabulous cover for CE Murphy's BONE & BLOOD, a retelling of "Snow White, Rose Red" features two women standing back to back: one is garbed all in blood red, with dark red hair and a black mask; the other wears flowing white, with wheat-pale hair and a glittering mask. Cover art & design by Ravven.

#Booksky! Today is RELEASE DAY for BONE & BLOOD!

There is a story of a widow & her two daughters, Snow White and Rose Red, the most perfect & darling little girls who had ever lived.

This is not—quite—that story.

I'm so proud of this one, guys! Please RT! :)

Ah, played a lot of goblins many years ago, so much fun.

Happy International Women's Day - here's a piece celebrating some of Ireland's most interesting women, with a thread about each of them linked below:

Ah well, we all make mistakes...

Glorious! Forza Italia! Amazing result for them and for rugby. One of the best #M6N days of all time. #ITAvENG

For those of you just tuning in, the #ITAvENG match is actually the same sport as the #SCOvFRA one. I know you wouldn't think it to look at them, but trust me... #M6N

That was a simply fantastic rugby match. Alba Abú! Makes next Saturday morning even more exciting than I thought it was going to be! The Scots were amazing and Dupont was found to be actually human! #M6N #SCOvFRA

So, about that Auld Alliance then, eh? #M6N #SCOvFRA

🧵Spotted On Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A small human (3?) is gifted a plushie lizard toy.
He carefully puts it on the ground.
And waits...
Hmm... no movement.
He gives Plushie Lizard a poke.
Hmm... Still no movement.
Biting his lip, he says solemnly. "Dad, my lizard might be broken." (1)

Honestly not sure how Ireland got a BP win there, but #COYBIG. There were moments of pure magic, but so much grind and visionless play. And the place kicking... But hey, onwards! #M6N #IREvWAL

Thank you, hope the last mile travel works out!

Off to my only live match of this year's #M6N at Lansdowne. Looking forward to the continued resurgence of the Irish team! #IREvWAL

Him and Andrew Windsor are a great start, but I'm pretty sure there are other terrible people with UK titles & honours who could use more than a little humbling.

I mean, when your hatred of women is your defining characteristic, I guess it's more important to you than anything else?

@griptmedia The Dublin Women's Mini Marathon is not just for the old-fashioned women any more - from this year the new upgraded modern form of woman will also be permitted to take part:

@Sen...' 21h Give me strength. Absolute cowards on women's rights. Move to @LayaHealthcare #ProtectWomensSports #SingleSexSpaces @Vi Martin X Vhi Women's Mini Marathon Terms & Conditions 2026 The hi Women's Mini Marathon is a women's event, and anyone who identifies as a woman is welcome to take part. We have a strong diversity and inclusion agenda, and welcome women of all ages and levels of fitness in a positive and non-judgemental manner.

Really hard to comprehend that with all that’s going on in the world these people have the time and energy to attack the Dublin women’s mini marathon for being trans inclusive….
