Leave them alone.
How many ‘revellers’ in that gaff, anyone?
Thanks Bebe

Yesterday.
Dublin Castle, Dublin 2.
Bodes well.
Norma Foley, a teacher at Presentation Secondary School, Tralee, County Kerry and new Fianna Fáil Minister for Education arrives for yesterday’s cabinet meeting in Dublin Castle
The best teacher I ever had, probably the reason I’m a writer now. I am so excited to see what she does as Minister for Education! #NormaFoley https://t.co/dgj0dpFOOC

In fairness.
Meanwhile…
I don’t want to shitpost either Maeve or Norma F but this is not a consensus. She was a perfectly functional teacher but never invested in anyone in my class like that. She’s a conservative anti-choice politician who has no real experience of education on a macro level. pic.twitter.com/oRpfnX3YYE

I mean, I’m glad that she inspired Maeve to be a writer but she definitely discouraged others. And it’s never good to be in a classroom where the teacher plays favourites.

Oh.
The dream is becoming reality. So great to see this. This is how Cork City Centre can be and should be. Between the two rivers you’ll know where we’ll meet on Princes Street. pic.twitter.com/q1aoYX9Qmg

In fairness.
For ten years now, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory has been capturing an image of Sol every 0.75 seconds from geosynchronous orbit around the earth. In this mesmeric hour long video, every second represents a day in the sun’s life, with various noteworthy events highlighted. To wit:
12:24, June 5, 2012 — The transit of Venus across the face of the Sun. Won’t happen again until 2117.
13:50, Aug. 31, 2012 — The most iconic eruption of this solar cycle bursts from the lower left of the Sun.
43:20, July 5, 2017 — A large sunspot group spends two weeks crossing the face of the Sun.
