My 431st, and - blessedly - final piece for gript in 2023: This was the year the tide turned in Ireland.

Awful news about Dr. Martin Feeley. I certainly didn't agree with him on everything but his bravery in speaking out - knowing it would cost him his job - during lockdown was immense. And in person, a lovelier, more gentle man you could not meet.

The weddedness of EU leaders to doing everything through the EU is weird. If he wants to block it, there's nothing to stop every other member coming together and issuing the money to Ukraine outside the structures of the EU, as sovereign states.

They're using Orban as an excuse.

John McGuirk I definitely shared this here before I response to this question, it might even have been to you; I'm getting serious déjà vu.

With help from the tower, using the ILS, and assuming good weather (no crosswind landing or anything complicated) I think most adults could probably make a fair effort at landing a plane.

There's a reason flying is so safe these days.

The problem with the Trump Colorado ban thing is only slightly the law. It's cultural. These things escalate, always.

Soon some lunatics in a deep red state will cook up a reason to keep Biden off the ballot. And so on and so on. If an end isn't put to it, quick, it'll be farce.

Relevant to Ireland: Brenda Ann Spencer committed this crime in 1979 as a sixteen year old.

Today, as a 61 year old, she still resides at the California Prison for Women in Chino CA. She is not eligible for parole until 2025.

In Ireland, she'd have been free decades ago.

RTE is offering €250,000 to somebody to produce and manage two YouTube channels aimed at kids. It's a recurring contract, meaning it's already in place. The Youtube channels in question have very low views.

By me:
