Tomorrow an anti-immigration rally in Cork will take place. I love the way Irish Examiner explains it: "The former Ireland First leader and failed European and general election candidate Derek Blighe is among the main organisers of the Cork event". irishexaminer.com/news/munster/a…

This is not about #GretaThunberg, it's about the fact that Israeli forces had detained the flotilla in international waters, where Israel has no legal jurisdiction or authority, thus violating international humanitarian law. irishtimes.com/opinion/2025/0…

Friends in Slovenia! You can read a long interview with me in the top magazine Mladina, on Europe and the US, Israel and Ukraine, even Brecht and Slavoj Žižek get a mention. Lucky you. mladina.si/241315/prvi-po…

I get it, but no, please, no, not Europe. Anywhere but Europe. How about Russia? He speaks Putin's language, they have a lot in common. Or North Korea, I'm sure Kim Jong Un wouldn't mind.

And the proofs are here. My chapter in the forthcoming volume 'The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Human Rights' edited by Kerri Woods and Jesse Tomalty, where I put forward an alternative to human rights foundations. Who needs foundations when you can have anchors.

At Cork Opera House since 4am, watching the amazing Eileen Walsh and The Second Woman. Perhaps the most incredible thing I've even seen on stage.

For those of us who were there, addicted to Eileen Walsh, Cristín Leach is on the money: "always at the heart of it was Walsh, mesmerising, compelling, endlessly watchable, funny, silly, tragic, in-control, lost. What a part. What an actor. What a gift". rte.ie/culture/2025/0…

Digging in my garden yesterday, I found this. It looks like an environmental molotov bomb. The earth is fighting back.

Ma perche' in Italia si parla sempre di Giulio Cesare, e mai di Cicerone? Cesare, nominato 'dictator in perpetuum'. Cesare, colpevole di genocidio. Basta con Giulio Cesare. In un mondo pieno di piccoli dittatori, consiglio di leggere Cicerone. corriere.it/le-serie-del-c…

An outstanding piece by political philosopher Chandran Kukathas on why restricting immigration is restricting freedom, for everyone. This applies everywhere, not just in the United States. nytimes.com/2025/07/01/opi…

Join us for a series of fantastic events with Lea Ypi as we celebrate and discuss her brilliant new family memoir, INDIGNITY. Details here: waterstones.com/events/search/…

I've read this book, I was sent an advance copy. It's yet another outstanding book by Lea Ypi, in my view the most important living author today. A powerful reflection on moral freedom, and the tragedy of modern history that keeps repeating itself. Penguin Random House 🐧🏠📚

Walking for many miles between the dry stone walls of Inis Meain, on the Aran Islands, trying to make sense of Gramsci's distinction between dialectical materialism and historical materialism.

Le Azzurre! England 0 - Italy 1.

Half-time, Italy 1 - England 0. So far so good. Let's hope that in the second-half Italy play better than Cork did in the All Ireland final last Sunday.
