The paradox highlights that insanity is a rational response to an insane situation, and trying to escape it proves you are not insane.

Mad case. How could the HSE let this go to court where it ran up a €1,500 bill rather than pay the shop €37?

NIAMH UÍ BHRIAIN: The public confirmation by Zelenskyy that he wants Europe to force young Ukrainians home where they can be conscripted into the army made Micheál Martin look mighty uncomfortable. But his response was also shocking.

Life for rich rascals in late 18th century Dublin was full of crazy wagers and duels fought at dawn. An infamous cad of the day was Thomas "Buck" Whaley. He was born into wealth on Stephen’s Green in 1766, and from an early age lived the life of a rake. Gambling, drinking, whoring, squandering his inheritance with such reckless artistry that even his enemies admitted he had style. All the good stuff.
It was in Daly’s Club, that temple of dice and scandal on College Green, that the legend of the Jerusalem Wager was born. A group of fellow gamblers, exasperated at Whaley’s boasts and desperate for a wager large enough to catch his imagination, proposed the impossible. Could Buck Whaley travel from Dublin to Jerusalem, pray at the Holy Sepulchre, and return within two years? They laid £15,000 on the table, a fortune then (and now).
For Whaley, it was irresistible. This was not just a gamble but a stage, and he was a man who lived for audiences. With his pockets lined and a retinue of servants, he set off in 1788, travelling through France, across the Mediterranean, and into Ottoman lands. Along the way he seduced noblewomen, borrowed from kings, and threw parties that drained his winnings faster than he could win them back.
In Jerusalem, Whaley did as the wager demanded. He presented himself at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, paid the monks their hefty fees, and duly said his prayers. But he could not resist turning even this into theatre. The Turkish governor of the city was so impressed by his wit and extravagance that he offered him dinner and escorts, and Whaley was paraded about as though he were a visiting prince rather than a dissolute Irish gambler chasing a bet.
Two years later, true to his word, he returned to Dublin. He had won the wager, but he had spent far more than he gained and his descent into debt was irreversible. By the time of his death in 1800 Buck was ruined. A life of girls and gargle and gambling had burned him out at the grand old age of just 34!

Star Wars 50 aniversario es la película original, tal cual se estrenó en el año 77. Sin nuevas escenas, sin retoques digitales, sin alteración alguna del material original. ¿De dónde ha salido esta copia?
En los años 90, el estudio británico y distribuidora Rank, donó al instituto fílmico británico (BFI) una copia nueva en Technicolor IB de la original Star Wars. Las copias en este formato se conservan mucho mejor y no tienden a la degradación de color con el tiempo como en el celuloide Eastman. Esta copia se criogenizó (has leído bien) a -5 grados en los archivos del BFI y ahí ha estado durante 30 años para garantizar su preservación (con muchas otras películas y material fílmico). En 2025, los conservadores del BFI encontraron la película con el añadido que se hizo posterior de Episodio IV, pero también los rollos originales previos incluso a ese cambio: una copia original en dos rollos del material que se estrenó en el año 1977.
Tras comprobar la increíble calidad, el celuloide ha pasado por un transfer digital, escaneado en 6K y masterizado en 4K. Se usó software especializado para alinear fotogramas, eliminar imperfecciones (polvo, suciedad…) pero no se ha pasado un proceso DNR (reducción de ruido) y se ha conservado intacto el grano original y la estructura del celuloide.
Es la primera vez, desde 1993 con la copia en LaserDisc, que se dispone del master original inalterado y que además, se consigue a tal calidad. La película tendrá estreno en salas IMAX, también en IMAX de 70mm, salas 4K láser… y conservará su relación de aspecto original 2:40:1. El objetivo de este trabajo llamado SW77 era ser lo más fiel posible y tener la copia en mejor calidad del film original.
El sonido, que tenía varios masters uno de ellos de 70mm con 6 canales, ha sido restaurado y reconstruido desde 0, pudiendo trabajar con las cintas magnéticas originales con cada elemento aislado y se ha creado una mezcla en Dolby Atmos a partir de este material original. Incluyendo todos los diálogos originales y todos los efectos originales de Ben Burtt. Sin retoques.
La música de John Williams ha sido transferida nuevamente desde las cintas analógicas originales de la grabación en 1977 con la London Symphony Orchestra, usando el multipista original que ha dado la mezcla para incorporar, con limpieza de audio, la mejor calidad posible.
Lo que se ha hecho con esta copia es una auténtica obra de orfebrería, donde cientos de personas han trabajado para traer la mejor calidad posible a la película original, en un esfuerzo que merece la recompensa de volver a vivir aquello que hace 50 años muchos vivieron. Y aquello que muchos como nosotros no hemos podido vivir en años por la obsesión de George Lucas de modificar el material original.
¡Gracias a todos los implicados por este trabajo y por traerla a todos los países! Allí estaremos para disfrutarla.
A 50 días del 50.º aniversario de Star Wars en 2027, Lucasfilm y Disney informan de que el 19 de febrero estrenarán una versión restaurada de La guerra de las galaxias (1977) en miles de salas de cine de todo el mundo, incluida España.

"Barry Cowen should be ashamed of himself." Ken O'Flynn T.D.
A Fianna Fáil MEP, sitting comfortably in Brussels, has decided that Irish people who ask where their money is going are talking "claptrap". That one word tells you everything about how Fianna Fáil now sees the people who used to vote for it.
Let me tell Mr Cowen what claptrap is. Claptrap is telling a pensioner in any town in Ireland that her heating bill is a European problem. Claptrap is telling a young couple in Blackpool, still in a box room in their parents' house, that this is all an investment in their security. Claptrap is Fianna Fáil, in Government since 2020, lecturing anyone about the cost of living.
This is the third €25 million commitment for Ukraine's energy this year alone. I have never said Ukrainians are not suffering. They are, and nobody decent says otherwise. But I was elected to ask hard questions about public money, and I will not be sneered out of asking them by a man who never has to answer to my constituents.
I have put down questions to every Government Department asking for the full cost to the State of this war since 2022, year by year. So here is a simple challenge for Barry Cowen. If you are so sure it is money well spent, get your own Government to publish the figures. All of them. If you won't, then don't you dare call the people asking claptrap.

Simon Harris has confirmed Help to Buy payments of up to €35,000 are paid with no check on whether the person has a right to remain in Ireland.
Revenue doesn't even record it. The clawback relies on people reporting themselves. Wilful blindness with taxpayers' money.

The Irish State began enforcing the infiltration of the public water supply with the toxic chemical Fluoride in 1964 following the passing of the Health (Fluoridation of Water Supplies) Act 1960. Ireland now has one of the widest distributions of fluoridated water, covering 73% of the population. Ireland is one of only a few countries worldwide that enforces fluoridation on its citizens via its water supply.
Approximately 97% of Western Europe does not fluoridate its drinking water. Apart from Ireland, only parts of England and Spain add fluoride to public supplies, covering roughly 10% of their respective populations.
Fluoride is a toxin and its consumption should not be enforced on the Irish public. Nobody is buying the "safe and effective" line anymore. #BanFluoride
Andy Burnham was a Vice-President of the British Fluoridation Society Ltd 2004-2009
Labour is expanding fluoridation in England, starting with more of the North East
Micheál Martin defended the Republic's mandatory fluoridation as Health Minister in 2001 youtu.be/LxN-N6OWnr8?is=AvxA…

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: The Israeli Intelligence infiltration of Ireland by consent of the Government of Ireland
Do you know about any of the following? If not, you're in for a wake-up call. If you do, then there is new information that will interest you.
🇮🇱 Inbal Goldberger & Coimisiún na Meán: How a former Commanding Officer (Lieutenant) in IDF Unit 8200 from Oct 1998 to May 2003 (4 years 8 months) and Intelligence Officer at the Office of the Prime Minister of Israel from Nov 2003 to Jun 2005 (1 year 8 months) became deeply connected on various levels and to various degrees personally, and via for-profit companies, non-profit groups, and NGOs, with Coimisiún na Meán, the Irish media regulator. More about that in posts to follow.
⚠️ IDF Unit 8200: The Israel Defense Forces' premier signals intelligence (SIGINT) and cyber-warfare unit.
🇮🇱 Pegasus Spyware: NSO Group Pegasus spyware purchase by the Government of Ireland.
🇮🇪 Regulator Capture: Coimisiún na Meán involvement with Israeli cyber-warfare units.
🇮🇱 Offensive Cyber Contracts: Irish state contracts awarded to Israeli providers of offensive digital weapons systems.
🇺🇸 🇮🇱 Black-Ops Data Infiltration: Irish agencies' use of US-Israeli hacking groups to infiltrate the data of groups and movements, both to acquire and to plant data.
⚠️ State & Semi-State Procurement: Irish state and semi-state contracts awarded to companies founded by veterans of the IDF's Unit 8200.
🇮🇱 🇮🇪 Intelligence Reach: Mossad operatives at the highest levels of Irish media regulators.
⚠️ Covert Agreements: Irish state covert contracting agreements with specialized Israeli operators.
🇮🇪 The Bigger Picture: What exactly is the long-term strategic, structural, business, commercial, industrial, and geopolitical direction in which Ireland is being taken?
🟦✦ The Military-Industrial Pivot: Ireland's proposed transition from a predominantly services-based economy to a defence and military-industrial sector, encompassing hardware, software, and associated services.
Simon Coveney was discussing the development of Irish defence-industrial capabilities in 2016 and 2017. Leo Varadkar subsequently echoed aspects of this direction in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2023, followed by Micheál Martin in 2021, 2024, and 2025.
BEO has undertaken substantial research into this topic. On behalf of my BEO colleagues, I will be publishing a staggered exclusive exposé over the coming days.
We have examined the connections, the commercial interests, the political decisions, and the implications for Ireland's sovereignty and Irish citizens, and it is not a pretty picture.

ALT Screenshot of the LinkedIn page for 'Israeli Military Intelligence - Unit 8200'. It displays the unit's green logo, 22K followers, and 5K-10K employees, showing the user is 'Following' the page. A 'More pages to follow' section below suggests the Central Intelligence Agency and Paragon Public Safety.
ALT Screenshot of a LinkedIn experience section for Inbal Goldberger listing three roles: Broadcaster at Tel Aviv Radio (2005-2008); Intelligence Officer at the Office of the Prime Minister of Israel (2003-2005) focusing on global terrorism; and Commanding Officer (Lieutenant) at Unit 8200 (1998-2003) during the Iraq war.
ALT Screenshot of the Coimisiún na Meán website showing a brown header with its logo and Menu button. Below the heading "I need advice about..." are two speech-bubble boxes: "Something I saw on TV, on-demand or heard on radio" and "Something I saw or experienced online", above an "Online safety" section.

Simon Harris – who recently criticised jobseekers and NGOs – and his parents won’t answer questions about whether the Harrises were eligible for a state-backed housing scheme that saw their €600,000 home sold and leased back to them after they’d accumulated mortgage arrears.
