A standing ovation and chants of “Bring him home” as Rachel Goldberg and Jon Polin address the DNC about their son Hersh, who is one of the hostages still being held after October 7th. Complete silence in the hall for the first time tonight as Rachel talks.

Thoughts and prayers with the person running the teleprompter at the DNC right now as Bill Clinton takes numerous detours through his speech (everyone else over the three days has stuck rigidly to it).

Oprah makes a surprise appearance at the DNC, calling on independent and undecided voters to vote for Harris/Walz. “Decency and respect are on the ballot in 2024” she says. Crowd was polite at the start of her speech but are wildly enthusiastic by the end.

“I haven’t given a lot of big speeches like this… but I have given a lot of pep talks” - Tim Walz to the DNC. He tells the Democrats to take action ahead of the election. “We have 76 days. That’s nothing. There’ll be time to sleep when you’re dead”

In a powerful section on gun control, a teacher from Sandy Hook tells the DNC what it was like on the day of the shooting. She describes hiding in a room with her class, trying to sing with the kids and read to them to drown out the sounds. "I carry that horrific day with me."

Gretchen Whitmer does probably the best job of the whole convention getting across one of the DNC’s key themes: how Kamala Harris is normal/ordinary when compared with Trump. “She’s lived a life like us,” she says. “Do you think [Trump] has ever been to a grocery store?”

Huge applause as Kamala Harris says that she (and Biden) want to see that “Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends and the Palestinian people can realise their right to dignity, security, freedom and self-determination”

Hello, just wanted to say that the 200th episode of Juvenalia came out yesterday and Kate Nash is on it. It'd be cool if you listened to it. Hope you're well, bye again

This is a great piece of reporting by Eoghan who spoke to women in Dundrum House in Tipperary where locals are protesting outside. The women are understandably fearful the site could be attacked amid the ongoing hostility.

It is crazy that not only do different airports have different security rules but now Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 at Dublin Airport have different rules from each other.
