Linguists start compiling the first ever complete dictionary of ancient Celtic.

More than 1 000 words used as far back as 325BCE will be collected for insight into a past linguistic landscape.

The vast majority of the material has been lost in the mists of time. But the remnants of a language spoken in parts of the UK and Ireland 2 000 years ago are being collected.

Just heard from someone who works at Wowburger that the company takes any gratuity you leave on the payment machines.

So, if this is true, it’s illegal in Ireland. Not to mention, a dick move regardless.

Anyone in Ireland know the Wowburger folks and/or where I can lodge a complaint about this?

Fucking yes… finally! Thank you, Ireland, Spain, and Netherlands!

“Ireland will not participate in next year’s Eurovision Song Contest, and it will not be broadcast on RTÉ, after organiser the European Broadcasting Union confirmed today that Israel will be allowed to take part … Spain’s national broadcaster RTVE and the Netherlands’ AvroTros also announced that they would boycott the contest.”

Maybe we should rename it to the Genocidevision Song Contest?

Now… any more European countries with a backbone?

Three countries have pulled out of the Eurovision Song Contest after organizers opted not to vote on Israel's future participation, allowing it to take part in next year's event. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/05/world/countries-boycott-eurovision-over-israel/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #israel #eurovision #spain #ireland #netherlands #music

Does anyone have advice, or know of any networks or organisations in Belfast for neurodivergent folk - where a young adult could make friends, or meet people, or so?

Any and all ideas welcome 💟😊
