Bowling on the green and Tennis in whites by National Library of Ireland on The Commons Via Flickr: Ward's Park, Bangor in Co. Down is a hive of activity with men and women at play while the kiddies stand watching the adults ignore them! It looks like a great place for recreation but the women in their tennis whites must have really struggled in those long dresses. Is é inniu tús Sheachtain na Gaeilge. Labhair Gaeilge linn?

But the rights of small nations are not a joke. The forcible or coerced takeover of a country by a larger neighbour is the biggest alarm bell in world politics. It is a signal that a rogue state is on the march. That is why the western alliance knew it was crucial to support Ukraine’s resistance to Russia. It is also why the US organised an international alliance to eject Iraq from Kuwait in the early nineties.

Attacks on small countries triggered the first and second world wars

I'm trying to remember if my parents (last one died during the Obama years) were ever as mortally terrified about elections as I've felt for the vast majority of my adult life.

I know my aunt was horrified by the Nixon years. But she's never expressed that it was the "grave mortal peril" sense that we seem to live with now.

I'm trying to figure out how much of it is media, noise, shifts in class, shifts in rights, whiteness no longer being the total isolation bubble it was for so many, etc., vs. the actual state of things.

Taking the putt by National Library of Ireland on The Commons Via Flickr: The famous Links Golf Course at Portmarnock in North County Dublin apparently taken before it was famous? The rough looks very rough and the green doesn't look much better though the attendance seem very interested in the proceedings. Will anybody score a hole in one by identifying the hole in the image! One of Ms. Maddock's renowned sticky buns with extra stickyness for the one who does!

WTF is with...

"Dream Vacation" like I've probably been to where 95% of people's dream is

"Politics" leave that shit out of your profile. I know plenty of mixed politics couples.

"Religion" if you want to stay within your religion or only dae religious people, use a dating app/site which is for that group.

"Support/Provider" find another site for that shit.

Fake AI pictures, Fake bot/of/5,000 miles away profiles, Botox lips. WTF
