2 years after winning The Irish Novel Fair and failing to secure an agent or publication, my next novel, The Cocklemen, is among the winners of The Book Edit Writers’ Prize. Lightning can strike twice. So here we go, let’s try this again. Maybe this time it will happen.

Bash and Romesh's choice of charities as winners has really annoyed some people. Oh dear. Anyway. If you'd like to donate to either of them: Choose Love - chooselove.org/ Refugee Council - refugeecouncil.org.uk/ #CelebrityTraitors

Who in the name of all things holy decided that it’s imperative that we “get the welfare bill down? The UK welfare bill is projected at £360+ billion (around 10.7% to 11% of GDP), remaining lower as a proportion of national income than it was 15 years ago or during the 1980s.

Can the 60k people being given the boot from Microsoft all get together and form a new company that builds a version of Windows and Office that doesn’t have AI, doesn’t use Sharepoint or OneDrive and doesn’t suck?

Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dónal Lunny. A giant of Irish traditional music, Dónal helped shape the sound of Irish music for generations, bringing our rich musical heritage to audiences at home and around the world. His contribution to Irish music and culture will never be forgotten. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

JD Vance says Ukraine shouldn't be bombing Russian diesel plants, but I'm pretty sure it's Russia who shouldn't be killing Ukrainian children.

She was only four when Trump said he would end the war in 24 hours. Just turned six when Musk decided to join Trump on Putin’s side and help the Kremlin killers murder her

At the funeral of one of the Ukrainian kids murdered by Russians this week, while the U.S. hobbled the country's defenses. Elizaveta Sorochyshyna, age 6. Relatives and friends left stuffed toys near her coffin. Elizaveta was one of three children among the 23 people killed by russians that day.

Since Robert Kraft is in the news, this is a good time to remind you what he did. In 2019, he went twice in two days to a massage parlor in Jupiter, FL. The first time he got a handjob. The second time he got a blowjob. Cops were already suspicious of the place so they had cameras that caught it all. BUT... Bob is a billionaire. So he hired the best lawyers money could buy for "high 6 to low 7 figures" and they found a judge who ruled the cameras violated the law and tossed everything out. Bob walked. The women did not. They were arrested and charged with prostitution. So in short.. fuck that guy and his holier than thou moral charade.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

My Lord. @JoeBiden, 83 years old, battling Stage 4 cancer that has spread to his bones, stood for HOURS alongside @DrBiden as the names of 9/11 victims were read. Donald Trump fell asleep at the 9/11 event at the Pentagon. One showed respect despite his pain. The other couldn't even stay awake. Trump is an embarrassment to the nation and the office he holds. Really says it all.
