Catching Covid Does Not Lower Your IQ Tue Jul 23, 2024 09:00 | Noah Carl
Headlines earlier this year proclaimed that catching Covid may knock up to 6 points off your IQ. A new study punctures this claim: there was no decline in cognitive test scores after Covid infection.

Will Trump ever admit he was wrong to back lockdown in March 2020 ? a decision that doomed America to years of crisis and sank his re-election hopes that year? Jeffrey Tucker is hopeful that truth will finally prevail.

Joe Biden Out in Apparent Palace Coup Mon Jul 22, 2024 17:30 | Eugyppius
Biden's team was still obliviously tweeting his resolve to fight on hours after he had decided to step down. So was the matter taken out of his hands? It has all the signs of an opportunistic palace coup, says Eugyppius.

I'm sure a few reservations for the whiteman can be arranged.
Did you forget columbus day this year?
What is the point of reposting something a year later if it wasn't followed up? You could just have easily said -
Hi! folks it has been a year since the campaign against the water charges in Armagh and Down met at Buttercrane Shopping Centre at 5.30 p.m. to leaflet against charges, this is an ongoing campaign DONT FORGET!!!!
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=67020
or
Its a year since Galway Grassroots/Anarchist Federation/NUIG Ecology Society/Organise, published succesfully their photos of a protest against Jury's non lethal weapons conference.
This is an ongoing campaign DONT FORGET!!!!!
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=67019
or
its a year since the L&H held a debate on immigration in Theatre Q in UCD Arts Block
at 7pm (Wednesday 13th October) and guest speakers included Justin Barrett and Aine Ni Chonaill, and anti-racist protesters went along.
This an ongoing campaign.
DONT FORGET!!!!!

The questioner's point was not unexpected, and with respect, it's a decision for the editors.
I'll give some reasons why it's news anyway.
* The Pit Stop Ploughshare Trial occurs on October 24th, 2005, and this is previously unbroadcast 'footage' of one of their actions.
* This wonderful clip (have you listened to it?) was only made freely available to everyone online yesterday. - Why now? I didn't have the means before.
* The news is undergoing a process of re-definition. If you decide that something is not news because of a time-lag, where do you draw the line?
* This is a first-hand 'report' with little mediation. It comes as close as possible to bringing the reader to that space and time.
* Finally, what do you think has changed re US Imperialism since this action a year ago. it was a fitting remembering of a beautiful act.
If i had written a delicate piece of prose on the same event, and published it under opinion/analysis, would that have been acceptable to you because it ads to indy's creative writing content.
Time lags could mean that potential documentaries for indymedia might not make it online for months after an event or series of interviews/events - does that diminish their worth?
If you limit news to knee-jerk accounts, no matter how well written, you lose lose contemplative beauty and make the site less colourful/more predictable.
the resonance of their action is undiminished a year later, as it is unheeded. It wasn't designed to be 'news', and yet, it was as newsworthy 500 years ago as it will be in 500 years time.
Having said that, I would have put this in the 'comments' section of the appropriate events notice and left it at that; but the report is timeless and the five who risk their freedom for others' lives go on trial on nine days.
Please tell me what's news?
this article isn't/wasn't a repost. Like so many other articles, it is an account, no, a witness of an EVENT posting in retrospect or post facto.
Hope you enjoy/ed it with all its layers of meaning and non-time/space specific context.
I can't help thinking that if i'd shorn it of that context and just posted it, you would have had no cause of complaint.
I forgot nothing last Monday
just like to comment that this is a great piece of soundscape. Feck the politics, I just liked it as a bit of sound and would recommend it (and other of Robbie's stuff) to anyone who likes the sound of life being lived with passion.
