An American found love at an Irish matchmaking festival - and hopes others do too (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mary Timby was fed up with dating apps when she booked a trip to Ireland on a whim last summer - from the comfort of her Colorado couch. The spur-of-the-moment trip was unlike her: Timby, 39, is a self-described "total planner". But she'd always wanted to visit Ireland, and she found herself exhausted by the local dating scene while navigating a career transition. And then she remembered a few throwaway lines from a comedy series about a matchmaking festival in Ireland. So she looked it up - and
A year after his death, conservative students struggle to fill void left by Kirk (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jeb Jacobi still remembers the echo of the gunshot that killed Charlie Kirk. He was a volunteer at the Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University (UVU), where Kirk was set to engage in one of his famous live debates on 10 September last year. But when the conservative activist collapsed, hit by a bullet fired from a sniper rifle, onlookers like Jacobi say they saw their hero become a martyr right before their eyes.

Read excerpt
A 23-year-old Utah man has pleaded not guilty to the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk – as a judge ruled prosecutors can seek the death penalty at trial. Tyler Robinson denies aggravated murder, a capital offence in Utah, and six other charges in connection with the shooting of Kirk at a campus event on 10 September 2025. Defence lawyers had tried to have the death penalty taken off the table, but prosecutors argued that aggravating factors, such as firing into a crowd in the presenc
How 'Book Queen' Dolly Parton inspired millions of children with gift of reading (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One child in Denver called her "The Book Queen". Another in Alabama calls her "Ms Dolly". Across the globe in Australia, a toddler with speech delays delighted her family with her first word - "orange" - after she and her twin sister received a free book in the post about colours. It came from Imagination Library, the literacy programme begun by late global superstar Dolly Parton. Parton, who died this week aged 80, launched the philanthropic effort in 1995 to honour her father - whose difficult
