In what the American novelist and critic Walter Kirn calls "the most 1984-ish thing I've ever f****** read?, a new, Orwell estate-approved edition of 1984 comes with a 'trigger warning'.

Has Nintendo gone woke? That's the fear among gamers as the new Switch 2 is released. Maybe not, says Steven Tucker ? but the underlying code, with its 'inclusive language guidance', is another matter.

offsite link Lord Hermer Should Read a Bit More Schmitt Sun Jun 08, 2025 07:00 | James Alexander
Attorney General Lord Hermer ? who was last week accused of likening ECHR-sceptics to Nazis ? seems to think 'Schmitt' is a polite way of saying 'Hitler'. He obviously has not read Schmitt, says Professor James Alexander.

'Comely maidens dancing at the crossroads'

category dublin | anti-war / imperialism | feature author Thursday May 04, 2006 04:13author by Elaine Report this post to the editors

Mayday Ladieez

'Comely maidens dancing at the crossroads' was what started it. DeValera's dismissive comment regarding women's roles in his vision of a new Ireland. Misquoted, of course, the actual word he used was 'happy'. So there we were, a bunch of women activists with nothing to do on Mayday (No RTS, aaaahhh) but be happy.

What better place than at the crossroads beside Herbert Park and the US embassy, right in front of DeValera's monument. Throw in a bit of dancing, a picnic with free food for all, send out a few invites, and see what happens...


Mayday! Mayday!
Mayday! Mayday!
