#OTD in Irish History | 5 May:

1586 – Death of Lord Deputy of Ireland, Henry Sidney. Sidney was brought up at court as the companion of Prince Edward, afterwards King Edward VI, and he continued to enjoy the favour of the Crown, serving under Mary I of England and then particularly throughout the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. He was instrumental in the Elizabethan conquest of Ireland, serving as Lord Deputy three times. His…

" Sto qui, sulla soglia di un altro mondo palpitante. Possa Dio avere pietà della mia anima. Sono pieno di tristezza perché so di aver spezzato il cuore della mia povera madre e perché la mia famiglia è stata colpita da un’angoscia insopportabile. Ma ho considerato tutte le possibilità e ho cercato con tutti i mezzi di evitare ciò che è divenuto inevitabile: io e i miei compagni vi siamo stati costretti da quattro anni e mezzo di vera e propria barbarie. Sono un prigioniero politico. Sono un prigioniero politico perché sono l’effetto di una guerra perenne che il popolo irlandese oppresso combatte contro un regime straniero, schiacciante, non voluto, che rifiuta di andarsene dalla nostra terra. Io difendo il diritto divino della nazione irlandese all’indipendenza sovrana, e credo in essa, così come credo nel diritto di ogni uomo e donna irlandese a difendere questo diritto con la rivoluzione armata. Questa è la ragione per cui sono carcerato, denudato, torturato. "

Bobby Sands, Un giorno della mia vita, introduzione di Sean MacBride, Premio Nobel per la Pace, e di Gerry Adams, Presidente dello Sinn Féin; traduzione e cura di Silvia Calamati, Edizioni Associate, Roma, 1989¹; p. 115.

Happy St Paddy’s Day

You can pan to the manhole covers reading Belfast all you like but if the very first thing you show is is a car blatantly driving on the wrong side of the road you’re not going to be very convincing

On this episode of What's New to Netflix, we are joined by a previous guest of the show, Savannah, when we talk about all the new stuff coming to Netflix in April 2024.

Then we witness Adam Sandler befriending a giant alien spider, voiced by Paul Dano, as he explores the mysteries of the universe and his life in Spaceman from 2024. Next, Millie Bobby Brown is betrayed by her new in-laws and sacrificed to a monster in Damsel, also from 2024. And finally, Lindsay Lohan wants to marry this one guy, but then this other guy shows up, and she wants to be with him, but she's going to marry the first guy in Irish Wish from 2024 as well.

All of this plus movies based on board games, movies with alternate titles, the return of the talented Mr. Ripley, the worst reality competition shows we've ever heard, the return of the talented Woody Woodpecker, pirates, Duran Duran, and how we all go from excited to disappointed over an iconic MTV series.

I saw a rec for this Bobby Fingers video. He makes a diorama of the time that Michael Jackson got his head set on fire while filming a Pepsi commercial. It's 25 minutes long with intensely dry, surreal commentary that is funny as hell. It almost defies description. If you like weird humor, you will probably like Bobby Fingers.

Come Il Cielo Di Belfast di Elena Magnani - Recensione

Come Il Cielo Di Belfast. Spesso un cielo in bianco e nero. Falls Road e Shankill Road. Quartiere nazionalista cattolico e quartiere unionista protestante. Due strade, due ghetti apparentemente agli antipodi ma in fondo così simili. Disoccupazione, povertà, voglia di riscatto. L’Irlanda del Nord di fine anni ’90 è una terra lacerata dal conflitto ma forse pronta finalmente a scacciare via quel…
