Not done one of these in a while.
I love this. The patriotism angle. American magazine likes our skin cream that we use for everything.
And another example of very local news but it’s going to get you coverage online and in print.
True story behind The Irishman. Lot of stuff in the movie is true it seems. Wow, America was/is riddled in corruption. The balls the way they carried out the killings too. You know your killer.
Seán Moncrieff is planning his funeral. It’s a good idea. Not only will it reduce the stress of loved ones on what to do but it gives you more control too. In addition it allows you to mark your end point and then plan back from there so you set objectives for your life.
Good thread from the Abortion Support Network on the state of play around abortion in Ireland. Lots more needs to be done to support women.

Max Richter:
The key word for The Leftovers is “departure”. It is a question of expressing the passage from existence to non-existence. That is why I used instruments such as the piano, the harp or bells, whose sound decays quickly to nothing.
The Leftovers is one of the best shows I’ve seen in years. It’s so sad. There’s so much grief and I think shows how humans will react to tragedy. I must rewatch. Well done to the showrunners for letting the writers do what they did.
Another great show of the decade was Pose and I love that Patti Lupone was on it and played an 80s business person that she would hate in real life.
