Good to see this trend accelerating throughout Europe, all US and Israeli tech has got to go, especially Microsoft and especially cybersecurity related software, hardware, and services.

A Cat With a Wooden Leg Pat McGrath possesses a very remarkable feline. His cat was born with only three legs, and as soon as the kitten became large enough to leave its mother, Pat constructed a wooden leg and successfully adjusted it to the little stump that grew out where poor pussy’s fourth leg ought to have been. Pussy now trots along on four legs with as much ease and comfort, apparently, as though the wooden limb had been placed there by Nature. But here is the really wonderful part of the story: Instead of killing rats and mice with her claws, as cats usually do, pussy has learned to use her club leg for this purpose, and it is said to be a very amusing sight to see her run up to a rat and knock him into insensibility with her wooden leg.
It is, allegedly, the 136th anniversary of a news story whose last line I don’t think you’ll be able to predict appearing in the Woodford (Kentucky) Sun
The glass ceiling is made of small biases frequently applied.
That's the conclusion of a team of researchers who modelled how six biases against women would cumulatively affect their chances of promotion over time. They found that it wasn't...

Very long piece by BBC news on immigrants pretending to be gay to secure right to remain.
I have NEVER seen the BBC do such reporting on:
Millionaire tax dodgers
PPE profiteers
Corporate tax dodging.

This afternoon, I overheard some old fella on the bus telling his wife, "I see Victor Kiam lost the election in Hungary last night."
I didn't.
I wasn't even on a bus today, but if this moment had happened, it might've made for a mildly amusing post for people over fifty.
I went to the Doctor this morning and told them I was so depressed, I’d lost my faith in Jesus.
“But I am Jesus!”, they said.

A tweet from Craig Mazin, 13/04/2016: “Ted Cruz thinks people don't have a right to "stimulate their genitals." I was his college roommate. This would be a new belief of his.”
Happy 10th birthday, this tweet
Would love to see this, but can't make it this year. One to see if I'm any judge
I've been mentioning to my clients for a while to start keeping an eye on these developments and consider the risks presented by overdependence on US tech. Hopefully as the alternative ecosystems develop it will introduce competitive alternatives and the skilled pool of personnel required will grow
Americans don't know the reasons Iran hates the US. In 1951 Iran's democracy elected Mohammed Mossadegh. The CIA & British intelligence staged a coup, installed a dictator who tortured and killed people.
It goes on from there.
A group of Muslim women who feed Dublin's homeless week in, week out, attacked by fuel protestors. I think we see who they are now.
Once I found a hidden pocket on my coat. 'I can put my banana in that' I thought, only to discover there was already a banana in it, dating from the last time I found this pocket.
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to find a month-old banana in their pocket

This would have been quite a cover
I asked in the IBTS clinic on D'Olier Street if they had many people in from the Dublin protest in to donate, but they hadn't. If someone wants to do something to help Irish people, and they're able to give blood, then making an appointment to donate would be a decent decision www.giveblood.ie
