St Patrick's Day is Ireland's national day. 9 .. It marks the feast of our patron saint and celebrates Irish history, Irish music and Irish culture. Everyone is welcome to celebrate with us. Ireland has always been welcoming. But the day should remain about Ireland. Turning St Patrick's Day into a global "celebrate every culture" festival misses the point. Every nation deserves one day each year that honours its own heritage. Ireland deserves the same.

Over on X, the everything app, after getting bored harassing a fun run, and Dublin Zoo, they've now turned their attention to a regional St Patrick's Day parade for being "inclusive".

Volunteers and organisers are being targeted for harassment, and already a sitting TD has joined in on the pile on.

The shattered ruin of a castle tower, perfectly reflected in the blue waters of Lough Oughter, Cavan

Clogh Oughter Castle • Cavan

The castle was built by William Gorm de Lacy in the 13th century.

Clogh Oughter Castle was the very last Irish stronghold to fall to Cromwell’s forces when it was bombarded by cannon until the garrison finally surrendered.

A good percentage of the time when people move to a smart meter and notice higher than "normal" electric use, it's for a few reasons. The big one is that spinny disk has been running slower than it should for YEARS. Which means you've gotten free electrons all that time and now? You're not.

She has underfloor electrical heating which in the past would have been fed by a circuit from a Night Saver meter like storage heaters. If
replaced by a single smart meter without adding a timer to underfloor circuit it would end up on all day not just cheaper 11 to 8am?

The attempts to counter argue here are wild. ’Christ was unvaccinated’ is an instant classic.

the MAGA Shoes discourse is the only thing keeping me going, honestly

This is the guy who likes to downplay non-fatal injuries suffered by US service members in combat.

Meanwhile over on Twitter everyone is losing their mind over a change to the design on the banknotes that they haven't used in six years.

Doubt much of the electorate have noticed but the mess Badenoch and Farage have got into over Iran shows just how beatable they are.

The only people who care about who appears on a banknote are those who don't have to worry about how few they have.
The Tories have lost their marbles.

A squirrel can manage 1000 active caches of nuts at a time.

That's significantly more than Reform HQ can handle.

Kremlin backs covert campaign to keep Viktor Orbán in power Vladimir Putin endorses plan drawn up by Russian consultancy that is under western sanctions

In Talking to Parents About Vaccines, Pediatricians Navigate a Sea of Misinformation Practitioners nationwide are striving to do what’s best for children’s health, while staying supportive in the face of mistrust and confusion.

Pediatricians across the U.S. are contending with a sharp rise in vaccine hesitancy. They are trying to do what is best for children’s health while staying sensitive and supportive, even as they bear the brunt of parents’ mistrust and confusion.

My humble submission to the new Bank of England with concepts for the new bank notes to please both sides.

‘We weren’t supposed to be bombed’: Iranians question price of regime change

Side note: Media outlets that refused to cave to Pentagon press rules have been coming up with scoop after scoop from military sources. So much for Hegseth’s attempt to strangle journalism

170,000 apply to take EU jobs test The last time hiring competition was held, some 22,500 applied. This time it’s much higher.

Some 170,000 people have applied to take a test that could see them get a well-paid and secure EU job — but the odds are stacked against them because fewer than 1,500 roles could be available.

they thought Venezuela meant they were invincible and could do whatever they wanted and don’t understand that different countries are different and have agency and might not go along with your plans

The scale of destruction (unlike the attack on Venezuela) and the apparent resilience of the Islamic regime has led many Iranians to abandon hopes that foreign intervention might bring change.
