-how much does stuff you’d buy for a hangover cost-what are people into that you wouldn’t know about if you’d been out of the country for several months -isn’t it a fucking tragedy Dublin airport got rid of their authentically syntaxed luggage signs?

Don’t want to sound too cynical, but can anyone who’s seen British blue ticks talking about their Irish citizenship post anything they see about historical prosecutions? Can’t say it seems to have crossed any radars...

‘Irish Traveller Family’, Killorglin, County Kerry, Ireland, 1954 a fascinating Kodachrome by Inge Morath. I love this photo. pic.twitter.com/RyiENzbgb9— Davenant (@SirWilliamD) December 23, 2019
this Inge Morath pic is incredible. That it is a 20th century social history pic full of rich detail that is unmistakably from a long gone era and also looks like it could have been taken only yesterday - is just one of its many qualities.

Rifles of the I.R.A. is the fourth album by Irish folk and rebel band The Wolfe Tones. The cover shows the band members dressed in the traditional dress of the IRA. The folk singer Christy Moore said of the cover, "I equate that particular record sleeve with Foster and Allen, dressed up as leprechauns. It was the very same thing. It had the same significance at the time.

C Moore wasn't impressed with that album cover

The Wolfe Tones are playing in a pub near me in upstate NY. Should I go see them?I found a bunch of their records in the bookshop of one of the local libraries a few years ago.
