Iโm sore at this
Close! Iโm really enjoying peopleโs reactions to this vote ๐ Aon Focal Eile, how did that miss the top 10? Anthem! ๐๐
Ahh I forgot about TOTP!
Iโve always found what Nina said so effing striking. Freedom isnโt happiness, success or comfort. She says itโs when fear no longer rulesโฆ to live authentically in a world that often tries to silence, diminish, or endanger peopleโฆ
Hahahahaha ๐๐ Westlife no points, so.
๐๐ Who canโt get behind Flying without Wings when the moment is right?! Did Westlife make the top 10 at all?
Scotland have put out some fantastic music!! (I was joking! ๐)
It is, right? Well, agree with the votes or not, Iโm definitely appreciating the talent and brilliance thatโs come out of Ireland. Nice to be spoilt for choice, Ive had worse complaints โบ๏ธCant even pick my top 10! I wonder how Scotland would voteโฆ? I would walk 500 miles?!
This Wolf Alice gig at Laneways Festival gets โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ What a band ๐ข Charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent โ youtu.be/jlWy_fPGBLI?...
Definitely. Sure Iโd have to throw Hills of Donegal in there too ๐คฃ๐๐ค
Not sure what my top 10 would be. Not that these are necessarily in my top, but Iโm surprised Caribbean Blue isnโt in there. Or Harryโs Game by Clannad โฆ since itโs so brilliantly sampled in Saltwater by Chicane. Drink Before the War by Sinead OโC is something elseโฆ how it was used in Euphoria - wow
Iโve heard Zombie by The Cranberries got voted #1 . Nothing Compared 2 U by Sinead OโConnor #2. How would you have voted?
Iโm wondering this, too. Edinburgh university have an account on Bluesky but arenโt posting on it. The Edinburgh university school of PPLS are posting on Bluesky however.
An infographic with weighing scales showing that the majority of universities not on X outweigh those still using the platform
If you are part of a university or UK facing research organisation, publisher, funder, learned society and they are still posting on X - they're in a rather uncomfortable minority now. Perhaps point them to the eXit.

Pet Shop Boys Brits Medley-BRIT Awards 2009. #BritAwards www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cjI...
This was such an impressive performance at the Brits. They just โdropped the micโ with that medley.
Sam Fender is in with a great shot with this album. I like The Clearing, but I reckon any album that followed Blue Weekend was going to be held to a very high standardโฆ hopefully itโs a great show
The Spice Girls bringing the energy to the Brit Awards 1997. I was only a wain. First time seeing the Brits. It was the height of โspice maniaโ. It was so exciting ๐ Iโm so ready for the Brit Awards 2026 tonight ๐ค
The little pockets of space we used to have in the NHS have been gradually redefined as 'waste'. Space to respond well to a dynamic context; space to have MDTs to support good care; space for listening & to hear how everyone's doing.
It is not better for everything & everyone to be completely full.
I shared this article with the incredible HIV specialist nurses in our clinic. Like many NHS workers, they โdo more with lessโ - going above and beyond on good will. They bring so much heart to the role. I hope they found this validating. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Lovely to see. What a morning in Derry!
Linking NHS data to a company widely associated with enforcement and security-state functions will activate fear & avoidance. People will disclose selectively. It increases the risk of disengagement from care.
@england.nhs.uk Many patients - particularly those with histories of trauma, coercion, abuse, stigma, immigration insecurity, or mental health crisis - already carry a baseline fear of surveillance. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Hi Sarah. I only know some Irish Gaelic, and this would translate to โside of theโฆโ (โtaobh aโ) but I donโt know what chaolais translates to and would need to look it up.
I watched โI Swearโ & Iโm still feeling it in my chest. Itโs heartbreaking and beautiful. Iโm thinking a lot about the people who didnโt persecute John Davidson-who chose curiosity, steadiness, and support when society rejected him. They gave me relief. 10/10 - do watch! www.imdb.com/title/tt3151...
Finally, a politician prepared to fight against the huge roll in public life being handed over to Palantir by our corrupt govts.
Why is Palantir being given NHS contracts? They are reportedly involved with rounding up migrants in the US and targeting mainly civilians in Gaza.
This is v worrying. The NHS Trust I work for have signed a contract to use Palatirโs software. This company is associated with corruption. If you work in the NHS, it is possible to influence the road ahead here notopalantir.goodlawproject.org/email-to-tar...
Grief bots? Hadnโt heard of this. Any research out there on these?? Sound so very ominous to me.
