A University of Limerick (UL) Christmas Story.
Sheena Doyle writes:
With over 3,000 international students from 107 countries studying at UL every year and 600 UL students spending semesters attending universities around the world, this year’s message is one to which many students past and present can relate: “Wherever you have been, it’s always good to come home”.
What makes the project special is that all storyboarding, filming, editing, vocals, arrangement, sound engineering, directing, and acting was carried out by UL students over the past few months.
In fairness.

An excellent, informed thread on the case that has gone viral on Twitter. JK Rowling’s tweet on the subject was transphobic and also just plain factually wrong. https://t.co/ievYXVw0U2

The witch-hunting of JK Rowling is a disgrace. All she did was defend a woman’s right to express an opinion on transgenderism. It’s so clear now: the trans movement is a menace to reason, liberty and women’s rights. We must oppose it, says Brendan O’Neillhttps://t.co/hXGvIp0ZHq

The thing is, transgender people don’t want to talk about JK Rowling, or David Baddiel, or Graham Linehan they want the BIG story to be how many of them can’t access the healthcare that they need. They just want to live their damn lives in God-damn peace. How about you let them? https://t.co/t8EWPcRXjK

The sheer viciousness of attacks on @jk_rowling for affirming that "sex is real" remind me how Galileo was sent to the Inquisition for saying the Earth moves around the Sun. Doctors & scientists are denying science for fear of the mob.

My friend and I set out to make Ireland’s version of The Office. Not quite sure we achieved that but at the very least it’s a great showcase of some of the funniest people in Ireland you’ve never heard of, and Karl Spain.
It’s a six-part comedy series about an ageing boy band’s one final attempt at a reunion. Strangely relevant! New episodes every Sunday….
SPLUTTER!
