A mmf-inducing promotional video for ‘a world without factory farming’ by the nice people at Make It Possible.
No one’s saying we can’t have bacon burgers and chicken goujons. Just that they don’t have to be so liberally seasoned with fear and cruelty.
That’ll do pig. That’ll do.

We went to check the availability of a domain on domainregistry.ie today and saw this.
They had a “security incident on Tuesday 9 October” and today their site is still not fully functioning.
That was the same day that google.ie and yahoo.ie were temporarily
unavailable.
It went largely unreported in mainstream Irish media.
The India Times were on the case though.
Potentially, any .ie website could have been re-directed.
Why was this so low key in Irish media? And what does this say about the security of our national interweb infrastructure?
Anyone?
Coming soon.
Yes, we went there.
When journalist Abbie Marshall needs to get out of Honduras fast, a private jet carrying a Hollywood a-lister is an offer she can’t refuse. She has a ride home if she covers a lifestyle story for her newspaper – an interview with Jack Winter, notorious womaniser and all round bad boy.
Jack hits on her shamelessly as soon as they meet, making Abbie determined to keep her distance. When their plane crashes in the Honduran jungle, they must fight against nature as they make their way to safety. Away from the cameras, Jack reveals another side of himself, his tough guy image is more than just an act and he prefers his pleasure mixed with pain. A brush with danger in the jungle leads to the most explosive sexual encounters of either of their lives.

Fergus Finlay on the “extraordinary decision of Eddie Hobbs to use the Wall Street Journal to undermine his own Government”.
Hobbs, described in the WSJ as a financial writer, finished his diatribe this way: “So, while Time magazine and others eulogize the plucky leader of the Irish people, the truth is that Enda Kenny leads a Vichy government — captive externally to creditors that still insist on loading bank debt onto the sovereign, and internally to a tribe of insiders led by union godfathers in a deal that protects the Government’s own excessive pay and pensions…”
Truth? Someone who uses a term like that to describe his own country doesn’t know the meaning of truth.
“The deliberate comparison of our Government — successful or not —to Vichy is disgusting.
So, that’s what I’ve learned these past few days. On our streets, there are thousands of people who are struggling, but are decent. They deserve enormous respect. And then there are a few who are comfortable and self-important. And deserve no respect whatever.
And then irony died.
