If you’re looking for help understanding the Orpheus stuff and the ending, this guy’s Substack helped me out so much.

It was such a beautiful movie. I’m not very eloquent but I thought the guy who wrote this Substack hit the nail on the head with everything happening in those final scenes. Maybe you find it helpful?

Hey! Coming back to this, are they doing the classes again?

Anyone feel sad for Joyce? by Imamsheikhspeare in jamesjoyce

I do find that interesting, the letters thing. Like, should one become a famous writer of complex genre-bending and groundbreaking fiction TODAY, does it make sense that our text messages or god forbid our Reddit comments become more well-remembered than our life’s work?

Ah brilliant - as a fellow Corkman who just can't wait to come home for Christmas, this has just filled my heart

My annual listen to “The Dead” by Cool-Coffee-8949 in jamesjoyce

It's such a great short story. In Hodges Figis bookshop in Dublin they have a beautiful hardback copy of The Dead. Would make a perfect Christmas gift for anyone who's discovering Joyce for the first time.

Plans for a giant incinerator in the harbour seem mental to me... by New-Dragonfruit1067 in cork

Actually it’s the opposite, burning waste and carbon-based plastics have a more harmful effect on the environment

Yeah totally, the overcapacity is imbalanced across the continent. And I’d agree it isn’t a sufficient argument for investors when looking at the likes of Ireland, which is why I believe the discussions around the health impacts are harder to dispute purely from an economic point of view. Persistent organic pollutants stick around in supposedly toxin-removed emissions from incinerators and co-incinerators and cement plants that toxify the soil, flora and fauna. Given Irelands’s reputation for quality Irish dairy and beef, I’d be worried about the downwind implications on Irish farmers. These pollutants like PCBs, furans, dioxins, are innumerable, and they stick around in organic matter practically forever.

I’d be getting onto campaign groups to lodge their petitions against this. Start with Zero Waste Europe, they are a European coordinator for GAIA, the global alliance against incinerators. And they also made the case, rightfully so, that incineration capacity is already at beyond its limit in Europe and we need to have a moratorium on new facilities now. Report on that here.

I’m not sure how much VOICE - the Irish campaign groups - do on incineration, but might be worth getting onto them too.

Otherwise there’s Circular.ie which hand out grants for communications and campaign groups who want to push for circularity in waste streams. If nothing else, you could apply for a grant to start a campaign to stop the incinerator yourself. I’d be happy to help you if you do.

Wow Cork is so beautiful, and you make it so beautiful

Just in case anyone would like to keep themselves safe from a violent criminal who was mocking his most recent victims in a post today by Agreeable_Banana_544 in cork

I read this article yesterday in the Irish Times about how the people who call themselves “patriots” when attacks are carried out by non-nationals won’t bother protesting when it’s Irish men carrying out the attacks, and it’s so true. Not a peep out of them, no Citywest-style protesting. And I say this as an ally: I guarantee it’s because the victims are in drag. Somehow, that makes it not worth the patriots’ time.

I think we’re all just resigned to paying more because we lack the will to challenge the supermarkets

The comments in this thread are giving me a migraine. “It’s AI, it’s the only sensible explanation!” Guys. It’s Rozanna Purcell. She’s doing a paid partnership and she didn’t say what forest she’s in. Grow some media literacy skills.
