Closer than we expected but thats how these matches are meant to go. Great fight by Wales but we seemed to find the scores when we needed them most. Conan def PotM but Balacoune, JGP among other standouts. Loads to bring forward to 3xπŸ‘‘shot next week, but things to work on too. #IREvWAL

2. God does not have a cause.

I clicked on a #W6N calendar sync link on the official site, and now it needs permissions to share or delete any and all of my calendars??

We don't need to take foreign policy advice from the American President. The last time we did that it was called the Iraq War.

I walked through a residential area in smalltown Massachusetts and I noticed that each of the houses had reclaimed the footpath/sidewalk to give themselves a few extra feet of lawn.

Mad place.

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.

The problem with MPs spending all their time on X is they start thinking people care more about who gets to use what bathroom than cost of living, housing, and public services

Great to see #BBCBreakfast starting its program with this clip of Hannah Spencer

"Instead of working for a nice life, we're working to line the pockets of billionaires. We are being bled dry & I don't think its extreme or radical to think working hard should get you a nice life"
