Say Nothing drama on Jean McConville murder wins Peabody Award
The Troubles-era drama Say Nothing on the disappearance and murder of Jean McConville has won a prestigious Peabody Award for public interest storytelling. Based on the 2018 non-fiction book of the same name by Patrick Radden Keefe , the nine-part limited series follows the story of McConville and the experiences of Provisional IRA members Dolours and Marian Price during the Troubles. Following the airing of the show on Disney +, Marian Price initiated legal action against the streaming giant. Lawyers for Ms Price said allegations of her involvement in the murder were 'not based on a single iota of evidence' and caused 'immeasurable harm in exchange for greater streaming success'. The series depicts Gerry Adams as a senior IRA commander, while including an endnote in each episode stating that 'Gerry Adams has always denied being a member of the IRA or participating in any IRA-related violence.'

It was later expanded to include television, podcasts, streaming media and social media videos. Naming Say Nothing as a winner in the entertainment category, the Peabody Award board said it won for 'exploring the social power of radical political belief, the code of silence that bound believers to secrecy, and the haunting emotional and psychological consequences of extreme violence on the lives and families of those who were lost and those who survived'. [ Say Nothing: Bingeable yet sober-minded eulogy for the tragedy of the Troubles Opens in new window ] Creator and executive producer of the series Joshua Zetumer said the themes of the period drama are still relevant today. 'When bad things happen – and believe me, they're happening right now – the most dangerous thing we can do is stay silent,' he said. Speaking to ABC on the red carpet before the ceremony, Lola Petticrew, who plays a young Dolours Price, said that 'everything the Peabody Awards stand for is something that really resonates with me'.

27 Useful Chewy Products If You Have Two Or More Cats
A pair of cat nail covers because your furniture's worst enemy might just be your best friend's claws. This also helps minimize scratches from new kittens who still can't see the difference between your arm and a scratching post. And if your cats tend to go at it with each other in a way that's beyond "just play," these can help protect them from getting hurt! A pet hair remover since no matter how often you brush your fur babies, their hairs seem to get all over your favorite furniture and blankets. This is a more sustainable option than single-use lint rollers, and it's made from 90% foamed recycled glass! Promising review: "I can't believe how well this works. It gets hair, as well as threads, dust, lint, etc., off of the carpet. It feels like it could scratch, but doesn't. Truly great help!" —MarianPrice: $14.79 A 50-pack of Churu lickable treats that seemingly every cat can't get enough of, whether they're picky eaters or not. Personally, it's the only way I can give my finicky cat her daily medication. (I place the pill into an empty gelatin capsule and hide it inside the treat.) If you're not giving meds to your felines, though, they'll love this as a daily treat between meals! One TikToker had the genius idea of freezing these treats! Will be trying this tonight for my other cat, who scarves this treat down in review: "My cat loooves these. I always give her a lick treat loosely mixed with some pumpkin broth and water as a bedtime snack/extra hydration for the day. I think we both look forward to that bonding time each night. :) The ingredients are also great compared to others." —LilyPrice: $19.83+ (available in six sizes and two flavor combos) If your cat isn't into capsules hidden in treats, a Feline Greenies Pill Pocket is like a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down. Giving medication to one cat can be a chore — giving pills to several cats day in and day out? A seemingly impossible task. Simply hide your cat's pill inside the treat, press the treat to mold it around the pill, and watch them enjoy. Promising review: "Our cat is on a daily medication and it is very challenging to pop it in his mouth and get him to swallow without getting bit or scratched in the process. He takes his pills easily using the pill pocket. He just thinks it's a treat and there's no problem getting it down. Less trauma for cat and owner alike!" —Loosescrew21Price: $6.48+ (available in two sizes and three flavors) A waterproof blanket just in case your felines are prone to accidents in the most inconvenient places. This way, you can snuggle up with them stress-free! Promising review: "Very nicely made throws! So very soft. Looks nice on furniture, and it definitely protects." —CarolPrice: $15.90+ (available in three sizes and seven colors) A fuzzy cat tree so that your cats have something other than your couch to scratch during their free time. This tree has both a bed and a ~condo~ to give your felines a place for their cute lil' cat naps. Promising review: "I love how both of my cats can sit together, and it's not so big and bulky for my space. It's facing the window, and they can watch cat TV all day!" —NakiaPrice: $34.99 Or a multi-level cat tree if you really want to go all out (and have the space to do so)! This tree has a few beds, a hammock, and different scratch surfaces to entertain all your cats in peace. Promising review: "The product was just as the website described. It was easy to put together with the directions provided. It is sturdy, seems durable, and my two newly adopted kittens love it! I would purchase this again!" —JuliePrice: $77.99+ (available in five colors) A window hammock for your cats, whose favorite form of entertainment is watching the birds fly by. They can enjoy a nice view while getting into this hammock's scratch pad function! An automatic multi-pet feeder is perfect for the felines in your life who never seem to stop meowing for food. This will ensure that your cats do not overeat — or undereat if you, by chance, forget that it's dinnertime for them; you can schedule when it releases food! Promising review: "I originally bought a single bowl version of this and was very happy with it. The only problem was the more dominant cats would eat all of the food every time and the others would get little, if any. I bought this two-bowl feeder to keep downstairs and moved the other one upstairs. I timed the meals to drop at the same time, so everyone gets fed. This has been a lifesaver for feeding our cats because three of them simply cannot free-feed responsibly. Everyone is now back to a healthy weight, and I also don't have to worry when I go on overnight trips. The battery backup works great!" —MeghanPrice: $89.99 A cuddle cave that your cats will likely squabble over — you may as well get a few of these for each of your kitties. If your cats always chill in enclosed spaces, this super-plush bed gives them the coziness and support they need during cat naps. Promising review: "Years ago, I got one of these. My cats loved it enough that one day, I discovered all three of them stuffed inside, much to everyone's chagrin. So I got a second one, hoping they'd trade out. The two youngest have gotten bigger since they could (even somewhat unreasonably) fit inside a single pod together, and then I got a fourth cat. Lately, I'm noticing that the third and fourth cats on the scene are often looking forlornly at the occupied pods, so I've finally given in and purchased enough that every cat can have their own at all times, plus an extra for when one finally fails because despite several machine washings, neither one is showing any wear yet!" —ReneePrice: $35.99+ (available in three colors) An interactive roller cat toy because playing isn't just for kittens! Playtime is vital for ALL the cats in your house to maintain their physical health and mental awareness throughout their life. I have this toy, and my two cats play with it for hours on end. Promising review: "I couldn't even get this put together before Button started playing with it. I put it out as a distraction so she would quit climbing the walls (literally), and so far, it's working. She loves her cat dancer, so I hope she'll start playing with the little butterfly on top, too. It comes with a replacement butterfly too, which is a thoughtful inclusion." —ButtonMamaPrice: $10.99 (available in two colors and three designs) A set of silicone food covers, just in case your cats are on different diets and always have wet food left over in the can! These fit easily onto most can sizes and are a breeze to clean. Promising review: "These are great tops for your pets' cans. Unlike the harder plastic lids, this plastic material is more bendable. This means that they will not crack and have to be replaced. It is convenient to have a top that can fit any food can. The pretty blue lid is a pop of color that can be easily spotted in the crowded fridge. A good product for any pet owner." —JosiesmomPrice: $2.99 A silicone cat bowl mat because messes are inevitable when dinnertime rolls around — especially when you're feeding several cats at once. This will keep your floors food-free and will also protect them from water damage if your kitties are the type to splash their water bowl before drinking. Promising review: "Both of my cats like to pick up their wet food nuggets and drop them several inches away from the bowl before picking them back up and eating them. I tried wider bowls to relieve whisker tension, but they still dragged the moist morsels away like it was freshly-snagged prey. This mat is large enough that they can't drag it too far away and get my floors messy. Perfect solution. I don't put it in the dishwasher, but clean up is still super easy with a soapy paper towel, then a quick rinse." —DaniPrice: $13.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors) A self-warming mat to give your cats a comfortable place to lounge all day. This is great for both the small kitties and older cats in your home who need a bit of help keeping their bodies nice and warm. Promising review: "I wish I would have found this product sooner. I take care of five feral cats who have access to my garage overnight. They eat, sleep, and play. I have a couple of pedestal cat beds and several areas with blankets/beds. I live in central Florida, so we don't have severe cold weather here, but we do have some cold nights where I would like the outside cats to feel some warmth. I researched beds that need to be plugged in, but I don't think that's safe unsupervised, and where I can't hide the cord. I came across this bed, and I think it's brilliant. I bought a few different sizes, and they love them. I'm happy, and they are keeping warm. I have since bought one for my inside cat and gifted one as well. My cat and the cat it was gifted to use it often as well. The price is fair, and I will purchase again in the future." —LauraPrice: $11.98+ (available in two colors) A pack of freeze-dried raw minnows treats that'll give your kitties a yummy, high-protein snack between meals! Think of this as your cats's version of hors d'oeuvres before their main course. Promising review: "My cats love these, if they don't want to come inside, I just ask them if they want minnows and they come running. Whenever I walk towards the bedroom they sprint to their treat spots and yell at me to give them some minnows. They can't get enough." —RobinPrice: $7.68+ (available in three sizes) A pair of cat grooming gloves, just in case your feline friends are DEATHLY afraid of the grooming comb. While your pets *think* you're just giving them loving pets, these gloves capture stray hair and fur with their gentle silicone teeth. An extra large litter box because sharing a bathroom isn't fun for anyone — both humans and cats alike. This box is large enough so that your cats can have room to share. Plus, it comes with cat pads and litter pellets, which are great for reducing dust and traction throughout the house! Promising review: "I have two cats, one is 8, the other is 6; after using traditional litter for that many years, I can tell you this is seriously a game changer! I wish I had done it a long time ago! It did take a long time to transition them, so don't get frustrated and give up. Mine took about 3–4 weeks to transition to using the new box. Only suggestion I have is to definitely get this bigger box!" —PatriciaPrice: $76.48 A Catit flower water fountain since some cats enjoy running water as opposed to water that sits still in a bowl. This fountain filters water to ensure that your cats have a crisp and clean drink at all times. Promising review: "Our cat is a freshwater kitty and loves this fountain! It took her about a day to get used to it. It has three different flow settings, and one of them is like a standard bowl of water. She prefers the full flower setup setting, as she was used to drinking from the faucet, and this trickles water over the flower to mimic that. It's easy to assemble and clean. We use purified water, so we don't have to worry about calcium build-up ruining the pump. Overall, very satisfied with this product!" —Happy CustomerPrice: $27.99+ (available in two styles) A catnip spray so that you can say "ta-ta!" to having to clean up little crumbs of catnip whenever your cats want to play. This is also a great spray for getting cats accustomed to new beds or cat trees! Promising review: "My cats had lost interest in playing with their toys and using their scratching posts. Once I misted these items with SmartyKat Catnip Mist, it was just like they were kittens again — playing, running, jumping, and using the scratching posts again for hours! Thank you for a great product!" —FrancinePrice: $1.88+ (available in three sizes) A professional-strength odor and stain remover because although your little fur babies can do NO wrong EVER, sometimes, ahem, accidents (which are in no way their fault because, again, they're perfect) happen. This stain and odor remover contains enzymes that eat away at foul odors on carpets, hard floors, furniture, and fabrics (I've even used it near my cats' litter box). The result? A stain-free space that smells heavenly. An Advantage small cat flea treatment to provide sweet relief to your indoor/outdoor cats. This treatment attacks fleas at all stages of life, making the annihilation of those pesky little critters hassle free. Promising review: "I was hesitant as I've always used another brand. But I have five cats and needed a cheaper option. Absolutely no more itching for my babies within three days! It has been one month, and it's still going strong! Zero negative skin reactions or health issues. Every cat is different, of course. But all of mine are totally different breeds and are just great. It was well worth my purchase." —SiamicPrice: $16.98+ (available in packs of one, two, four, six, and 12 doses, and in three cat sizes) An Arm & Hammer litter deodorizer because you love your cats — but with so many felines using the WC, it can be hard to keep up with a fresh-smelling home. All you have to do is sprinkle this on top of your kitties' litter and marvel at how bearable it is to walk past the litter box now. Promising review: "People frequently comment on how they can't smell my cat's litter box despite being in my room and open-air. I'm telling you, it's all because of this. Used as directed, your stinky litter days will be gone." —LaurenPrice: $3.79+ (available in two pack sizes) A 41-inch tall pet gate, which closes automatically, making it perfect for your newest cat to get acclimated to your environment. When introducing a new cat into the mix, it's best to use a gate like this that keeps cats separate while still allowing them to see, smell, and interact with one another. An indoor cat treat that's packed with vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that'll help nourish your cats as they snack away! Your cats will likely love this treat because of its creamy center and crunchy exterior — you will likely love this treat because it helps with healthy digestion, strong muscles, and even hairball relief! Promising review: "My cat is a bit picky with food or treats in general, so I was very excited about his reaction to these. He loves them! Now, he gets excited every time he hears a crinkling bag since he thinks he's getting one of these treats. And I like that they are small too." —TreatsPrice: $3.28+ (available in three sizes and in chicken or tuna) A Hertzko self-cleaning brush with retractable teeth that makes post-brushing cleanup so easy, you'll wish you purchased it sooner. And since it's designed to be pain-free, your pets will be thankful for it, too. Promising review: "I have bought several different brushes and de-shedding rakes over the last couple of years since I got my white Swiss shepherd, and this brush is the absolute best by far! My pup has thick, dense fur, especially in the winter, and this brush goes nicely through it, removing the dead fur, and the push button that releases the fur is wonderful!!! My only regret is that I didn't buy it years ago!!!!" —CharlyePrice: $16.99+ (available in three sizes) A pack of furniture protector tape sheets because even if you have enough cat scratching posts, your cat still probably prefers to treat your expen$$$ive couch as their fave scratching post. These transparent sheets stick to upholstered furniture to humanely stop your kitties from caring for their claws on your favorite lounge spot. Promising review: "The kittens touched it and never went back! My dining room chairs are saved, and they are now using their many scratch post options. Amazing!" —LinPrice: $19.99 A pack of felt wool ball toys that are super bouncy and fuzzy, which is basically all your cats want out of a toy. I have these, and my two cats go wild, chasing and clawing at these whenever I whip them out. Promising review: "The mischievous little one-eyed scamp that lives in my house is OBSESSED with these balls. They're very bouncy. She's gotten good at using her claws to almost juggle the ball around the carpet!" —SusyPrice: $9.99 for a six-pack
