Letters: The Triple Lock does not make us more democratic, it actually diminishes us
Leaving judgment on the integrity and morality of our aspirant humanitarian operations to the whims of the permanent members of the security council through our Triple Lock policy seriously diminishes our democracy, in my view. When one observes Donald Trump's America and how it is conducting its politics with regard to Gaza and Ukraine, in particular, we must now add the US to China and Russia, in terms of countries that merit no influence whatsoever on our decisions with regard to our military deployments. The reality of Triple Lock in terms of our neutrality and democracy fades into utter insignificance when weighed against our integrity and ability to stand up with compassion for the freedom and sustenance of 'our fellow man'. Michael Gannon, Saint Thomas Square, Kilkenny Well done, Kris Jenner, for your costly looks, let's hope the insides work as well Regarding your article ''I love to see people's reactions when I tell them how old I am,' Kris Jenner's neck lift sparks surge of interest among Irish women' (Sunday Independent, July 20), I think that while it's great to look good, Kris's remarks remind me of an old banger of a car I once had. I got it totally re-sprayed and it looked really good – unfortunately the engine blew out a short time later. The moral of my story is look after your inner health and grow old gracefully. Seamus McLoughlin, Keshcarrigan, Co Leitrim Our children are exposed to the adult world far too early and it damages them Will children and young teens ever be allowed to have a childhood again? CMAT's forthcoming song Euro-Country highlights the stress and anxiety of young people who grew up during the last recession endured. I grew up in the 80s, at a time when money was tight and job losses occurred regularly. Like most children of that era, I received a treat on a Sunday and hand-me-down clothes from cousins. But as I marked off each passing milestone of youth, I did so with little knowledge as to what was going on around me. Because I was immersed in childhood. My generation was sheltered from adult talk, with adults whispering their worries, insistent upon keeping such tales from children's ears. My friends and I didn't have 24/7 access to politics and news and were oblivious to the intricate details of the goings on in the world. We were allowed and encouraged to be children. Today smartphones bring a constant barrage of news to young people's attention, as they attempt to traverse their own world, the real world, an online world and a world far beyond these shores. How and when are they supposed to be children? Marie Hanna Curran, Ballinasloe, Co Galway Tyrone McKenna keeps honourable tradition of fighting Irish alive in Gaza Long has Ireland, the North and Belfast in particular had a rich history of fighting pride. Legends like Rinty Monaghan and Hugh Russell paved the way for world champions like McCullough, Barnett, Frampton and Cacace. Heroes like McCarthy, Eamon and Brian Magee, the Conlans and Paddy Barnes broke the mould. Sean McComb is a world champion robbed of his belt. Volunteering to help children in an active war zone is not a natural reaction, especially when you have two at home. Risking your livelihood and legacy does not come naturally to any sportsperson, let alone someone in the twilight of their career. Tyrone McKenna has honoured the rich tradition of Belfast fighters, entertaining every single time he has graced the squared circle. He has never backed down and has been gracious in victory and defeat. This week he epitomised the spirit of the fighting Irish by flying to the illegally occupied West Bank to volunteer at the Aclai Palestine boxing gym to raise much needed funds. He's doing it because he believes it's right. Eamonn Brady, Lurgan, Co Armagh When this many cannot pay for electricity or heat, the budget needs to step in The cost-of-living crisis was the biggest single issue during the general election campaign. In the Dáil's last day before summer recess, there was palpable disagreement about how best to tackle this same issue. At Leaders' Questions, the Government's decision to rule out another support package in the budget was not for relenting. Since January, an extra 64,000 people couldn't pay their electricity bills. That means for the first time that we have circa 300,000 households that cannot pay for their electricity. We have circa 175,000 that can't pay for heating. I believe that there does need to be a cost of living package in this year's budget. John O'Brien, Clonmel, Co Tipperary What has Israel achieved other than filling the ranks of Islamic armies? The attack on a Catholic church in Gaza shows an Israeli military out of control, not just because of this attack, but because of their overall mission in Gaza that has left tens of thousands of people dead, injured and suffering starvation. Where is the morality in what they are doing and what have they achieved other than creating an apocalyptic landscape and putting hostage lives at risk and starving the population? What they have done is harden the attitudes of the outside world while they fill the ranks of extremist Islamist groups in the region. This insane attack on innocent people, who are caught between Hamas and their fanatical followers, and Netanyahu and his right-wing ideologues, both of whom want to wipe out each other, makes one wonder what have they achieved other than death and misery? What they have achieved, both at home and abroad, is further division between groups of people who at this stage have so much distrust and hatred for each other, that there is very little prospect of bringing peace. What both sides in this bloody carnage have created is a world where close allies are now also divided and mistrust each other and a lasting legacy of mutual hatred.

Miley Cyrus' sister Brandi says her recent boob job set a record for being the 'tiniest'
Brandi Cyrus is joining the growing list of stars speaking openly about cosmetic procedures in the age of Kardashian-style transparency. With Kris Jenner casually name-dropping her facelift surgeon, Kylie Jenner admitting to a secret boob job, and Khloe Kardashian listing her tweaks in a viral clapback, the 38-year-old older sister of Miley Cyrus is now opening up about her own 'unusual' cosmetic procedure. On the July 17 episode of Sorry We're Cyrus, the podcast she co-hosts with mom Tish Cyrus, Brandi revealed she got 'tiny' breast implants this past February — but not before spending over a year and a half weighing the decision. 'I had three consultations with different doctors before I picked one,' she shared, stressing the importance of doing your homework. 'Boob jobs are expensive and for me I was like, "You know what, I can spend a hundred dollars here and there to see some different doctors and have some different options because it's a big investment."' She ultimately opted for a modest 185cc implant — a far cry from Kylie's 445cc — and revealed that her surgeon set a personal record. With Kris Jenner naming her facelift surgeon, Kylie admitting a secret boob job, and Khloé listing her tweaks, Miley's sister Brandi is now revealing her own 'unusual' procedure 'He said it was the smallest implant he's ever done.' Brandi explained that while most of her friends warned she'd regret not choosing a larger size, her mom stood firm in her support. 'Absolutely not bigger,' Tish assured her. Brandi proudly described her choice as 'tiny,' and added, 'No regrets because they look great.' She also stressed how carefully she approached the decision, saying, 'I'm not one to make rash decisions like that. I would rather sit with it and if I still want to do it after a year or so, then it's like, 'Okay, then I really want to do it.'' 'Whereas, sometimes I really think I want to do something and then after a couple months I just don't. I think it's something don't do impulsively. I would think about it and do your research.' Tish, meanwhile, applauded Brandi's restraint — and got candid about her own plastic surgery history. Over the years, she revealed, she'd had four separate breast surgeries and was left disappointed by most. 'I've literally done it four times, three of which I hated,' Tish shared. 'Every time I wanted to go smaller and smaller and they would tell me why they had to do it a certain way and I'd come out with bigger boobs. I'm like, 'How do we get bigger when I came in here for a reduction?'' Eventually, Tish said, she insisted on a 'big A' cup — even though her surgeon was hesitant to oblige. 'She did what I asked and I freaking love them,' Tish said. 'I've never loved anything more. I barely ever wear a bra. I freaking love it. It is amazing.'

'What screams ‘This Is Singapore'—beyond just chili crab and Merlion selfies?'
SINGAPORE: What makes a city feel like home? The lofty landmarks? The impressive destinations and majestic attractions that fill travel fliers? Or is it the noiseless, everyday flashes that expose a place's depth and personality? One social media user recently posed this question on Reddit after spending an extended time in Singapore: 'I've been spending more time in Singapore and I'm curious—what are the little things or places that make you think, 'Yeah, this is the real Singapore'? Like a quiet spot, a food stall, or just something every day that tourists usually miss.' The responses rushed in, indicating an extremely textured portrayal of life on the tiny island. Here's a foretaste of what locals say provides Singapore with its exceptionally grounded charisma: The simple joy of feeling safe Several users stressed something that's often disregarded but profoundly valued — safety. 'Being able to go downstairs at any point in the night for a walk or cycle and 1) feel safe alone, 2) be able to find some food, and 3) can leave my stuff on the table without worry of theft.' See also Kris Jenner talks about her children having kids out of wedlock It's this silent, ordinary assurance that residents appreciate most. Whether it's women walking unaccompanied at night with open bags or laptops left unattended at a café table while the owner lines up for kopi, there's a shared confidence in community standards and communal respect. One user even acknowledged they 'forget to lock the main door very often'—a declaration that says more about Singapore's security than any statistical indicator. The ubiquitous heartbeat: HDB life For most Singaporeans, the soul of Singapore lies not in Marina Bay Sands or Orchard Road, but in the modest void deck of a Housing Development Board (HDB) flat. 'To me? Honestly, just HDB void decks. Dunno what it is, but there's just something about their vibe that makes me feel like I'm home.' These uncluttered spaces under public housing hunks also serve as familiar get-together places, resting spaces, and community grounds. They're intertwined into everyday life—gently practical, yet profoundly representative of Singapore's social architecture. Hawker centres: Where flavours become memories If you ask a Singaporean to cite a truly homegrown experience, chances are they'll instantly point to the hawker centre. 'Some of my fondest memories growing up are sharing a whole steamed chicken with my parents from Sin Kee chicken rice at Commonwealth Avenue Food Centre… The feeling of the breeze blowing at your face as you wolf down the fragrant oily rice with the steamed chicken… Unforgettable.' Hawker centres are more than just outdoor eateries; they are community spaces coated with reminiscence, routine, and the cosiness of familiar tastes. Where else can one access a world-class meal for under $5 and dine alongside people from all walks of life? Quirks that only make sense here There are also weird local customs that might be confusing to non-Singaporeans but are immediately identifiable to residents. One of the most cherished is the 'choping' culture—the act of keeping seats at food courts using tissue packets. 'The unspoken rule of choping seats with tissue packets,' one netizen said. It's real, somewhat silly, but characteristically Singaporean. This strange little ritual says as much about local customs as any national rule—an understanding founded on shared belief and efficiency. Grumbling with love Obviously, not everything in Singapore glows. As one Redditor puts it: 'Everyone complains about life in Singapore, but becomes super patriotic during the NDP season.' That love-hate relationship is conceivably the most accurate proof of belonging. People protest about the skyrocketing costs, the dampness of surroundings, the MRT mob—but come August 9, flags rise, tears fall during the National Day Parade, and pride billows in the most unpredictable places. The little things that speak volumes Eventually, it's not the frontpage charms that describe the real Singapore. It's the HDB passages and void decks. The hawker auntie who knows people's orders by heart. The unfastened handbags, the protected and cosy footpaths from residents' flats to the MRT. It's a thousand noiseless guarantees that say – 'This place works. This place cares. This place is home.' Looking to experience the real Singapore? Don't just follow the travel handbooks. Take a seat in a void deck at sunset. Observe an elderly auntie hanging her laundry. Pay attention to the multilingual buzz of a hawker centre during lunch hour. That's where Singapore's real charm is.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians mansion hits the real estate market for $8.9M
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians mansion, which doubled as the faux exterior for the famous family's home on their E! Network show, just hit the market. Fans can now own a piece of reality TV history as Advance Estate Realty's Jane Trang Dang listed the 8K-square-foot, seven-bedroom, and nine-bathroom property on Monday with a price tag of $8.9M - according to TMZ. The current owners never lived in the secluded house aside from 'throwing a few parties' there, and mainly considered it an investment for their real estate portfolio. The nostalgic mansion features a gourmet kitchen outfitted with high-end Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, a private patio with sweeping canyon views, dual walk-in closets, wine cellar, and screening room. There's also a resort-style backyard with a pool, spa, and built-in BBQ. The palatial property should not be confused with Kris Jenner 's 8,860-square-foot Hidden Hills home, which was used for filming interiors from 2007-2021, and she put it on the market for $13.5M last February. 'I've shared so many unforgettable memories in this incredible home with my family,' the 69-year-old momager told the New York Times. 'And I'm excited to see it start a new chapter with its next owners.' Tomer Fridman of Christie's International Real Estate Southern California currently holds the listing for Kris' (born Kristen Houghton) mansion. In 2021, Jenner could be seen bidding a fond farewell to her 'old house' while eating breakfast there with a couple of her daughters not long before the show finally ended in June. 'I love it here,' The Kardashians producer-star told her daughter Khloé Kardashian as she fried up some bacon for them in the kitchen. 'This is where my heart is.' Kris shared: 'I know all the little nooks and crannies, I know all the little noises, I know every creak on the steps - the black and white checkered floors, the white countertops and the La Cornue stove.' Flashback clips abounded, including of the Roaring Twenties-themed party that Jenner's daughters threw for her 60th birthday. The twice-divorced grandmother-of-13 was also seen telling her daughter Kim Kardashian: 'I know how the door opens and closes in the middle of the night and this is my home base. I feel good here.' The 44-year-old SKIMS CEO responded: 'Yeah, I mean a lot has gone down in this house, especially in this kitchen.' The twice-divorced grandmother-of-13 serves as executive producer of Ryan Murphy's legal drama All's Fair - premiering this fall on Hulu - which stars her daughter Kim Kardashian (M) as LA lawyer Allura Grant Kris - who recently made headlines for her face lift by Dr. Steven Levine - currently lives in a $20M 16K-square-foot Hidden Hills mega-mansion right next to Khloé's $17M mansion. Jenner will soon begin production on the seventh season of her famous family's Hulu reality show, The Kardashians. The Calabasas socialite also serves as executive producer of Ryan Murphy's legal drama All's Fair - premiering this fall on Hulu - which stars Kim as LA lawyer Allura Grant. Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash, Teyana Taylor, Sarah Paulson, Glenn Close, Matthew Noszka, Elizabeth Berkley, Ed O'Neill, Judith Light, Brooke Shields, and Jessica Simpson will also appear in the show.
