Rice is nowhere near him this season. There really isnt a standout player after Bruno this year in the league.

🇧🇷🍺 World Cup ads are starting to dominate everywhere and Brazil’s one for the beer brand Brahma is INCREDIBLE.

In this Backyard, it’s “win or go home,” and this crew hasn’t left since the 90's. Where there’s a pitch, there’s a legend. #YouGotThis

Ireland is so rich 40% of working people under the age of 35 live in their childhood bedroom without hope of buying or renting their own home. Ireland is so rich that each month it sets new homelessness records with 17,500 people being homeless in March. Ireland is so rich that 3 out of 5 Irish people under the age of 25 want to emigrate and 81% said they'd have a better quality of life elsewhere. Ireland is so rich that Irish people - not high-earning non-Irish FDI tech multinational (Indian) workers, and not no-earning false asylum claimants - will at best be able to move into a garden shed out the back of their parent's home. Ireland is so rich that when it snows elderly people across the nation - particularly in the west - are left without heat and electricity because of archaic infrastructure outside of the capital. Ireland is so rich that hauliers and farmers recently braved being pepper-sprayed by police to try and bring notice to the fact that they are living paycheque to paycheque. Ireland is so rich that groceries cost the second-highest in the Eurozone - 12% above the EU average. It has the highest electricity costs in Europe (excluding inflationary government subsidies). Ireland is so rich it routinely tops the most expensive lists for hotels, dining, internet, phones, postage etc. Ireland is so rich...on paper. 👇👇👇

Fair point to make, however, politicians need to be willing to stand up and admit the truth that maintaining pay parity will always place a stress on NI’s budget, due to our larger public sector relative to rUK. Meaning less money for delivery, as more is needed for salary costs

Sweden is committing more than €100 million to a sweeping classroom overhaul: replacing tablets and screens with traditional printed textbooks to help reverse falling student performance and sharpen focus. After more than a decade of embracing digital-first education, Swedish authorities are now pivoting back to paper-based learning. Official data and recent studies cited by the Ministry of Education show that prolonged screen use in class has been linked to shorter attention spans, weaker reading comprehension, and reduced critical-thinking abilities. Research consistently finds that reading on illuminated screens requires greater mental effort and invites more distractions compared to the calm, linear experience of physical books—factors believed to have contributed to declining academic outcomes in recent years. Under the new plan, every student will receive printed textbooks for all core subjects, restoring books as the central learning tool. Digital devices and online resources will remain available as supportive tools, but they will no longer dominate daily instruction. This bold €100 million investment signals Sweden’s leadership in rethinking the role of technology in education. It underscores a broader, growing recognition worldwide: while screens provide speed and access, the hands-on, distraction-free engagement of physical books supports deeper concentration, stronger memory retention, and more effective long-term learning. By choosing paper over pixels, Sweden is charting a path toward a more balanced, evidence-informed classroom future—one that puts proven pedagogical principles ahead of unchecked digital trends.

I’ve been warning for a decade: Brexit would wreck our food resilience. Experts like Tim Lang @ProfTimLang and Prof Chris Elliott said the same - all ignored. Now Trump’s actions in Iran are kicking the hornet’s nest, and every farmer can see what’s coming. The government is totally unprepared, out of touch, and cloth-eared and it is scary. 🎙 Food Fighters podcast: share.transistor.fm/s/0f6ef8…

Students remember more when they write it down on paper. Not type it. Not screenshot it. Write it! The act of writing slows students down, adds tactile feedback, and helps lock it into memory.
