A mass scuffle during the Mayo Vs Meath All-Ireland football final, 1996
The Congress of the GAA
Will be meeting before long to say
They’ve come up with a rule
For when losing one’s cool
Becomes an official melee.

Arguably the best ever picture of Janis Joplin.
The image taken by photographer David Gahr in 1968, appears on the back of a presentation booklet (designed to resemble a record sleeve) of a new US postage stamp commemorating the tragically short-lived singer.

From top: Michael Dwyer and his refuge in the Wicklow mountains
This morning.
Knockkerrigan, County Wicklow
Eamon Farrell writes:
It was from this cottage, in the Winter of 1799, that the famed rebel, Michael Dwyer, fought the encircling British groups and finally made good his escape over the snow covered mountains.
The cottage was later destroyed by fire and lay in ruins for almost 150 years. It was restored to its original form as a monument in the late 1940s and again extensively repaired and re-roofed in 1992. it’s currently being renovated by the Office of public Works.

Quincy Jones and Bono in Dublin in 2002
Vulture: “Is Hollywood as bad with race as the rest of the country? I know that when you started scoring films, you’d hear producers say things like they didn’t want a “bluesy” score, which was clearly code-speak. Are you still encountering that kind of racism?”
Quincy Jones: “It’s still fucked up. 1964, when I was in Vegas, there were places I wasn’t supposed to go because I was black, but Frank [Sinatra] fixed that for me. It takes individual efforts like that to change things.
It takes white people to say to other white people, ‘Do you really want to live as a racist? Is that really what you believe?’
But every place is different. When I go to Dublin, Bono makes me stay at his castle because Ireland is so racist. Bono’s my brother, man. He named his son after me.”
Vulture: “Is U2 still making good music?”
Quincy Jones: [Shakes head.]
Vulture: Why not?
Harsh but fair?
YOU decide!

A short by The Animation Workshop of VIA University College in Denmark wherein a disaffected young woman is lured in to the realm of a charismatic figure where she is free to follow her instincts and explore her deepest desires.
Steady on.
