It’s HotHouse week in @nerve_centre. We’ll be working with groups of young musicmakers on songwriting and performance skills culminating in a stage at @Stendhalireland Festival this weekend. They’ve yet to hit a drum or strike a chord but it’s going to be a special one. Up music!

It says a lot about the evolution of the Irish Army's attitude toward the abuse of women that Cathal Crotty's superior vouched for him. And then the judge issues a no-consequence sentence as custody would have ruined his career. A patriarchal authoritative clique closing ranks.
Eavan King retweeted
We need to have a serious national conversation about why character references carry more weight than the testimonies of women. If you continue to beat someone who's on the ground, and go on to boast about beating them on social media, it ceases to be "out of character" surely.
The CEO of Women's Aid has said that a verdict which saw a soldier avoiding a jail term after beating a woman unconscious, calls into question Ireland's national strategy of zero tolerance of violence against women

Sick to my stomach reading this. BTW the same judge gave a man 7 years in prison for growing and selling cannabis

RIP the great Donald Sutherland, a favourite actor and always fascinating screen presence. He starred in two of my very favourite and most influential films - ‘Don’t Look Now’ and the 1978 ‘Invasion Of The Bodysnatchers’. But that is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of his legendary filmography; a funny, laconic, but also intense and dramatic presence in so many memorable movies, starting with his break-through in ‘The Dirty Dozen’, and then on an incredible run in the 70’s, 80’s and beyond with ‘M*A*S*H’, ‘Kelly’s Heroes’, ‘Little Murders’, ‘Klute’, ‘Don’t Look Now’, ‘The Day Of The Locust’, ‘Ordinary People’ and ‘JFK’, among many others.
I even adore his very early appearances in ‘Dr Terror’s House Of Horrors’ and ‘The World Ten Times Over’, as well as his very silly cameo in ‘Kentucky Fried Movie’.
I know many of you following me will feel the same way about this great screen legend’s passing, so please list your favourite Donald Sutherland films.
So sorry to see you go Donald, but what a legacy you leave behind.
