Gave the low-effort high-visibility stuff at work a try and I've got to say, it's amazing, I can see why people like do this sort of stuff all the time
I'm hearing there are a lot more parking spaces than usual at the Kennedy Centre this morning, if anyone's thinking of doing the shopping
Did I miss something? Looks like Financial Statements are now free to download from CRO for Irish companies. Used to be €2.50

The State has paid Deloitte Ireland €10.45 million in fees since the start of last year to provide consultancy services to assist with the response to the International Protection accommodation crisis and the war in Ukraine rte.ie/news/2026/0805/158664…
Me and who 👉🏻👈🏻
Cette photo mérite absolument tous les prix. Elle a même sa place au Louvre.
Elle relate précisément l’inertie de l’individu face à l’effondrement.
Regardez la composition. Un chef-d’œuvre involontaire.
Au premier plan, le sable doré, les tongs abandonnées, la glacière. Le décor ordinaire du bonheur estival. Deux personnages assis, de dos, comme dans un tableau de Caspar David Friedrich. Sauf que Friedrich peignait des hommes contemplant le sublime. Ici, ils contemplent la catastrophe. Et ils ne bougent pas.
Au centre, le parasol. Publicitaire, criard, dérisoire. Un pastis face à l’apocalypse. C’est presque trop parfait : la France qui prend l’apéro pendant que le monde brûle. Aucun scénariste n’aurait osé.
Et puis le ciel. Les deux tiers de l’image. Cette muraille de fumée qui avale la lumière, ce dégradé d’ocre et de noir digne d’un Turner. La nature qui reprend la palette des maîtres pour peindre notre propre fin.
La femme photographie l’incendie avec son téléphone. Mise en abyme totale : nous documentons notre disparition au lieu de l’empêcher.
Cette image dit tout. Le déni, le confort, l’habitude. Nous sommes tous sur cette plage. Nous voyons tous le nuage. Et nous restons assis, parce que l’eau est bonne et qu’on a posé nos congés.
Les historiens de l’art parleront un jour de cette photo comme on parle du Radeau de la Méduse.
Sauf que cette fois, le naufrage, c’est nous qui le regardons depuis la plage.

Two weeks away from Belfast allegedly welcoming 300k visitors for the Fleadh but availability still showing at every Belfast hotel. Is it all just hype?

30 hours funded childcare for your 9 month old baby to be raised by strangers
No equivalent support for your wife raising the baby at home
Dad crosses £60k and Child Benefit starts getting clawed back
They are not hiding the family model they want
Without mass immigration suppressing wages, labour shortages from low native birth rates would naturally drive up pay for young workers, improving affordability of housing and family life, &thereby raising fertility rates through market incentives
Economic signals would also encourage delayed retirement, cheaper housing liquidity, higher workforce participation & innovation in automation or productivity to offset pop'n decline, allowing societies to adapt organically instead of relying on perpetual population replacement
Yeah this is why I never want a "time of use" contract for domestic electricity

Having been part of the cover-up, on the eve on an inquiry report, Belfast Trust now say Muckamore was a systems failure on many levels.
No. It wasn't a systems failure. Humans were failed by humans in the most inhumane way.
My thoughts are with the families affected in advance of publication.
"When Laura hears the word Muckamore she becomes anxious and fidgety she doesn't want to talk about it - things happened to her in there which she can't explain."

An argument, the optics of which are so bad that one imagines it could only be made by a deep cover saboteur 😅
Casement Park will remain a pipe dream while ‘the world’s most overpriced children’s hospital’ is busy draining Stormont’s cash two miles away

Any companies that are a) in industries vulnerable to AI downsizing and b) have a generous redundancy plan for even short tenured employees?

Half of all conveni stores and 25% of all takeaways in the UK are linked to organised crime in some areas say trading standards. Add in revolting candy shops nail bars and barbers. All in plain sight. Usual assumption is that black econ is around 10% of GDP. Maybe a lot higher?
Just got my April payslip and, as Rachel Reeves promised, I've seen a rise in my take home pay.
Base pay - no change
Income tax - frozen
National insurance - frozen (for now lol)
But
Student loan repayments DOWN £6 (Plan 1 FTW)
Thank you @RachelReevesMP for this generosity!
