@Infoseepage Or, since you are in Castlebar, see if you can get a lift/bus/transport to the Ceide Fields and the sea-stacks in that area. There is a very nice cafe at the Ceide Fields also.

Jonathan Reynolds is either deluded, disingenuous, or a complete idiot. Maybe even all three. This 10% is in addition to the much higher tariffs on steel and other products that Trump has already implemented. Instead of trying to placate a man who put ‘reciprocal’ tariffs on an uninhibited island Reynolds and Starmer should be aligning the UK with the EU. Surely even Reynolds can see that Musk is about to be dismissed as the fall guy for the loss in Wisconsin, and the bad press over ICE, and other issues, so it doesn’t matter if you were Trumps bestie - he’ll destroy you to save himself every single time. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn05dge02vzo

@HistoPol Everyone is liable to be thrown under the bus when they fail to do exactly as #FeloniousTrump demands.

@Infoseepage Might be wise to get new ones, especially if you are planning to walk places like Sliabh Liag in Donegal, or the Causeway etc in Northern Ireland. Unless you can find a place that can resole them for you.

@Infoseepage Heading up towards Galway & Mayo next?
If you can get to the Ceide Fields in Mayo, they are very much worth a visit.

Given the US administration is already sending letters asking firms in France and Ireland [probably other countries also] to confirm their abandonment of DEI, the EU should not be too slow in responding to this clear interference and intimidation of business practices in the EU. The US administration need to be made aware there will be robust consequences if they don’t butt out and stop interfering in how business operates elsewhere. The only thing a bully understands is a robust response and consequences.

@Infoseepage It’s a shame you couldn’t find a good seamstress who would reline and restring your old hat: but good luck and happy travels with the new one.

Time to close any American bases outside the USA, and send all the personnel back to the USA.
Time to stop trading with the USA
Time to stop visiting the USA
Time to isolate the USA in every possible way.
time to stop trading with the USA.
If governments of other countries don’t do this immediately, the USA is going to walk in and take everything it believes it should have. What any other country, or its inhabitants want or think is irellevant. This is a hostile administration, who doesn’t care about anyone except itself.
If you haven’t read Margaret Atwood’s excellent books, or watched the TV series, you should do so now.

@Infoseepage Yay! You did Arran. Congratulations.

@Infoseepage If the weather is awful, the Arran islands would be a better bet than the Cliffs - because the Cliffs are very dangerous.

@Infoseepage @Cormac_McGinley I’m changing my camera this week. Hopefully picking up the new one on Monday- from a baby Canon SureShot x7 to a Nikon Z fc. with lens. OH also has Nikon so I can borrow all his lens for other times if necessary.

@Infoseepage I hope you get the opportunity to go into The Burren, and places like the Aliwee Caves. The Burren is an amazing, unique lunar landscape, yet full of unusual plants; the Caves have remains of bears in them, and incredible stalagmite and stalactite formations. Also, maybe contact @Cormac_McGinley for more local info, if you want.

@Infoseepage I’m not sure what your suspenders are in your country & language. In Ireland that term means the belt by which ladies stockings are held up. Though modern stockings don’t often need suspenders any more.

Mastodon World seems to have been invaded.
I’ve had a few of these over the last few days

The ‘christian’ racists and their shaven headed accomplices are being outnumbered in Belfast today. Their hateful comment about ‘unvetted’ people is even worse. That they use the Irish tricolour and the flag showing our four provinces for this is utterly shameful.
We are all immigrants. It’s our history.

So not disabled or incapacitated if you are under 22 years old…? Are you supposed to live on air? Not everyone has a home and parents; if in foster or state care can be thrown out at sixteen. This is monstrous, cruel and I hope it’s challenged in the courts. #Disability #Labour

@inthehands @heidilifeldman I’m not so sure he’ll get the answer he wants. Justice Roberts has issued a statement, about contempt of court, and the rule of law with regard to politicians and judicial decisions. I suspect SCOTUS is now becoming concerned that they will also be powerless as POTUS administration ignores various laws. They brought this mess about by giving him criminal immunity.

@Lazarou Safest option is this - If you are out of the USA, stay out, and make new plans. Don’t return there. If you are in the USA, make plans to leave asap, and don’t return there. #Gilead

@Nonilex When the government clearly ignores the court order and injunctions, the USA is in a very, very dangerous place. Not helped by Bukele being more than happy to also ignore it and accept these people. No one even knows for sure if any of them are members of the Tren de Aragua. Using a law created to deal with a war situation and a hostile country to deport people is terrifying. USA is no longer a democracy, and won’t be as long as this administration continues in control.

@Infoseepage There’s quite a few of those magical wells about the place in Ireland. As you wisely note - mightn’t be the best think to drink.
