Stuart McCloskey gets a statue, a bridge and a petrol station for that tackle.
Well, now. This is more like it! #IREvENG

Who TF is working in the advertising regulator? Buying a house is hard around without this BS.
Hand holding a hardcover book with a black and white illustration and the text “Performing Modernity: Culture and Experiment in the Irish Free State” by Elaine Sisson.
This was on the cataloging shelf this morning, and the amount of whoops and cheers I’ve let out just reading the introduction and skimming chapters! A really important book for Irish visual and material culture, and much needed in the broader Irish Studies field 📚
(Also cheering for Italy 🇮🇹, just a lil bit)
Very!
In this house, we’re mainly cheering for Hollie Davidson. #IRLvITA
''Acadian Seaplants, a massive Canadian corporation and owner of Arramara Teoranta, has put in an application to harvest tens of thousands of tons of wrack from huge swathes of the west coast.''

In 2021 I was telling people in my field of art history to stop legitimizing the use of image recognition, to stop applying for grants to use AI in identifying the subjects of portraiture bc this was what such work was being used to further. All this was obvious. theconversation.com/how-ai-is-hi...
Historian focusing on early modern book culture here. I am not sure that feeding a private company with all our past handwritings from archives is a solution or a way forward. Google‘s AI studio is a data trap. #skystorians
Calling all the PhDs I know to make monumental annoyances of themselves (and honestly, who better)

Title page of a book, with decorative details showing two putti holding a swag of drapery over a view of Florence. Black print on beige paper.
Things that never cease to be a joy: that you can go, for free and with very little notice, into the National Gallery of Ireland’s library reading room and look at a first edition of Vasari’s ‘Lives’.

Thank you to all the good people working in hospitals and in the emergency services over the next few days 🎄 ⭐️
So 12 of Dublin’s most sought after homes, that are intact and in a beautiful setting, are going to be…vacant? Converted to TII offices? Converted to flats and rented at astronomical cost?

This is the kind of thing that the Annals of the Four Masters would have recorded in very ominous tones #speirgorm
Thanks everyone for replies! Maybe it’s time for *me* to also start reading these!
Bluesky, I want to get some Terry Pratchett for my niece, who’s 11 and a highly enthusiastic reader. Is there a particularly good place to start? 📚
Enormous shout-out to the Australian and Kiwi librarians standing up to Elsevier. This is killer.
Love this local story, where backpay got Marshall Bailey/Charles White out of the workhouse, into a nice pad in Kilmainham, and a wife to boot.
