I found a wallet in Dublin 8, Pimlico area. Reckon it was stolen and discarded. Will be dropping it into Lower Kevin Street Garda station today.
Pope Francis (top) and photos of some of those who ‘ disappeared’ during the Argentine military dictatorship.
In a profile of the new pontiff, The Guardian makes no reference to Pope Frank’s culinary skills.
“As head of the Jesuit order from 1973 to 1979, Jorge Bergoglio – as the new pope was known until yesterday – was a member of the hierarachy during the period when the wider Catholic church backed the military government and called for their followers to be patriotic.
…Bergoglio twice refused to testify in court about his role as head of the Jesuit order. When he eventually appeared in front of a judge in 2010, he was accused by lawyers of being evasive”.

Spotted at my local IKEA in Costa Mesa, California. Such a relief to know I could go pick up a bit of Ingatorp and not worry about having me head blown off..
There once was an old Argentine,
Who did magic with bread and with wine,
So under a dome,
Some cardinals in Rome,
Gave him the keys to their shrine.

Update: winner:
There once was an Argentine fella
Was pals with dictator Videla
He turned a deaf ear
Made priests disappear
And now bears the flag white and yella

We’re celebrating our 25th Anniversary this month at Gay CommunityNews and we’ve created a short documentary looking back on a quarter of a century of being the voice of the queer nation. We’d love if you could share this on your website, we think people might be interested in seeing it. It was still illegal to be gay when GCN first went to press, so it’s a bit amazing looking at how far Ireland has come in this time.
Fair gay though, in fairness.

A series of experiments by Brusspup showing the effect of a loud 24Hz sine wave on streams of water, with the camera frame rate adjusted to match the vibration of the air. Brusspup adds:
If you want the water to look like it’s moving backward set the frequency to 23hz. If you want to look like it’s moving forward in slow motion set it to 25hz.
