Evolutionary biologist and outspoken atheist Richard Dawkins
Last night.
Trinity College’s Historical Society (the Hist) cancelled an invitation to Richard Dawkins to address the society next year over his views on Christianity Islam and sexual assault.
Via University Times:
Auditor of the Hist Bríd] O’Donnell said in an Instagram post:
“The invitation to Richard Dawkins to speak at the society was made by my predecessor and I followed up the invitation with limited knowledge of Mr. Dawkins. I had read his Wikipedia page and researched him briefly. Regretfully I didn’t look further into him before moving forward with the invitation.”
“I want to thank everyone who pointed out this valuable information to me. I truthfully hope we didn’t cause too much discomfort and if so, I apologise and will rectify it.”
In an email statement to The University Times, O’Donnell said:
“The comfort of our membership is paramount, and we will not be proceeding with Professor Dawkins address. I apologise for any distress caused by this announcement, and the Hist will continue to listen and adapt to the needs and comfort of students.”

James Vincent McMorrow – I Should Go
Tinseltown in the sun.
In this puckish satire on our self-obsessed age, an aspiring actor (Ezra Ewen) prepares for an audition in Hollywood…
This video for James Vincent McMorrow’s new single was directed by David Helman.
Nick says: Ezra goes to Hollywood.
Gulp.

This afternoon.
Name that lorry, anyone?
Grafton Street, Dublin 2 this morning
This morning/afternoon.
According to the Health Protection Surveillance Centre a quarter of all new cases of Covid-19 in the last two weeks have been among younger people aged between 15 and 24
Via RTÉ:
A closer look at the breakdown of ages though, shows there were reportedly 114 cases in young children aged between 0 and 4, while a further 325 cases occurred in children between 5 and 14.
The highest number of cases reported in this two-week period is among 15 to 24-year-olds with 984 cases among that age group.
There were also 708 cases among the 25 to 34-year-olds, 576 cases in the 35 to 44 age bracket, 552 among the 45 to 54-year-olds, 375 in the 55 to 64 age group, 236 cases among 65 to 74-year-olds and 106 cases in the 75 to 84 group.
There were just 44 cases recorded among people aged over 85.
Anyone?
Behold: the 1980 Aston Martin Bulldog – a 5.8 litre, V8, mid-engined Countach-LP400S-meets-DeLorean-looking prototype that was once envisaged as the fastest production car in the world. 40 years ago, after clocking a very impressive 309km/h during testing (but thought to be ultimately capable of 381km/h), the project was deemed too expensive and killed off.
This, therefore, is the only Bulldog in existence and it’s now in the possession of UK-based Classic Motor Cars where an 18 month restoration project is currently underway.
But why, sez you unkindly.
