There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who take advantage of your vulnerability for their own gain...and those who take care to nurture your vulnerability so you can be that way more often. Choose wisely, my friends.

Happy birthday to Jackie Wilson, born on this day in 1934!

32 years ago tonight, Riverdance. A period of years where Ireland became confident; success in sport, music, film, finance and tech. A little tiger was born. Stunning. 🇮🇪

When my grandfather was in the CIA, he was transferred to Beirut. Their next door neighbor were the Copeland's. Stewart's dad Miles was in the CIA as well. My Dad was good friends with Stewart's brother Miles Jr. and for years, my aunt lied about dating Stewart. I know she lied because I asked Stewart about this and he said absolutely not, I was 11. 😂😂

Wall Street Columnists Hard at Work Telling You There’s Nothing to See in Private Credit (Except All The Redemptions) Guessing the retail and institutional investors trying to yank over $20 billion out of private credit funds this quarter aren’t buying the “useful illiquidity” and “sticky funding” argument? “..What makes private credit funds useful and important is their illiquidity — the fact that most money invested cannot be easily withdrawn or even demanded back at all. The sticky nature of its funding means private credit can step in and lend to risky companies when other lenders pull back…. …. some private equity buyout deals will sour, especially from the go-go years of 2021 and 2022, where owners and lenders could lose their shirts. But hopefully, those losses will be suffered by big, sophisticated investors, who should be expecting to take such hits as part of an economic cycle….” bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Comhbhrón ó chroí le Teaghlach Moya Brennan Go raibh do lá, agus na laethanta ina dhiaidh sin, lán go réidh le cineáltas, comhbhá agus grá. Go mbuailfeadh tuiscint leat i ngach áit. thejournal.ie/readme/moya-br… @fobraonain 16.4.26 Gearóid Ó Deaghaidh

A privilege to be asked by @thejournal_ie to share thoughts and reflections on our beloved Moya ❤️💫 jrnl.ie/7012368

If you always do what you always did, then you'll always get what you always got. False. I always put €50 petrol in the car, but I don't always get the same amount of litres. In fact now I get a lot less.

Tá fíor bhrón orm go bhfuil Moya ar shlí na fírinne. So sad to hear @moyaclannad has moved into the next life…. the heavens will be blessed by her voice… Deepest sympathy to Tim, Aisling and Paul and all of her wonderful extended family… she will be hugely missed.. and so grateful for all we shared over the years.. ❤️ solas na bhflaitheas go bhfeice sí go deo… ❤️💫

This is the way.
