A quotation from Johnson, Lyndon:

«
I once told Nixon that the Presidency is like being a jackass caught in a hail storm. You’ve got to just stand there and take it.

Ley de Punto Final: los Comunes aprueban por la mínima (208 a 205) una ley que retira a los tribunales la potestad de investigar los delitos cometidos (sobre todo por las fuerzas de seguridad) en #Irlanda del Norte.

La ley no ha gustado a nadie (salvo a los veteranos) y el Gobierno de la República amenaza con llevar a Londres al TEDH por facilitar la impunidad en la violación de derechos humanos

Remembering Seamus Heaney: Nicholas Allen introduces a poem that brings us back to the dark days of the Troubles in Northern Ireland: Two Lorries (from The Spirit Level, Faber & Faber). #Heaney #SeamusHeaney #IrishPoetry #Troubles https://www.rte.ie/radio/lyricfm/clips/22293632/

Thoroughly enjoying reading "Making Sense Of The Troubles" by David McKittrick and David McVea. It's making a very complicated subject accessible: https://bookwyrm.social/user/politicscurator

A quotation from Thomas a Kempis:

«««««
Times of trouble best discover the true worth of a man; they do not weaken him, but show his true nature.
[Quantas autem virtutes quisque fecerit, melius patet occasione adversitatis. Occasiones namque hominem fragilem non faciunt, sed qualis sit, ostendunt.]

Zucht…wat moeten we hier mee. Een van onze katten heeft eerst op de schapenvacht op mijn stoel geplast (en niet zo n klein beetje hoor) en net op het kussen van de stoel ernaast. Het schapenvacht ligt er al jaren op. Ik heb het een dag buitengehangen en met een spray behandeld dat de geur opneemt en daarna sinasappelspray gespoten. Mijn man zegt dat hij steeds blijft flemen bij dat vacht. In het verleden heeft hij een paar keer geplast op twee sierkussens op de bank. #kat #cat #troubles

Just caught up with the final part of BBC’s extraordinary ‘Once Upon a Time in Northern Ireland’ - a series that avoids the details of #NorthernIreland politics to give space to the voice of the victims of the #Troubles. Highly recommended, whether you’re new to our squalid local conflict or like me nearly everything here provokes personal memories. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0ff7cg0

*Hopeland* is a #climate novel, and it's not McDonald's first. *Hearts, Hands and Voices* (published in the US as *The Broken Land*) is a climate novel (that also happens to be about the Irish #Troubles). So is his stunning debut, *Desolation Road*, which I picked up at a mall bookstore in 1988 and *lost my mind* over:

Been on a deep dive watching documentaries on the #troubles in #Northern #Ireland over the last few months, and seeing things like the apparent close ties between the #ProudBoys and #police reminds me a lot of the #collusion between the police and #paramilitary groups there.

But maybe that's just me... 🤷🏽‍♂️
