The Irish Times seems cognizant of this reality, giving protracted coverage to an institution it has long celebrated being free of, a lot like a divorced spouse who still obsesses about their former partner, closely monitoring their movements, their relationships, hoping dearly for their continued decline.

A fun little story from the weekend that’s too good not to write about. Every Saturday, the Irish Times publishes a relationship advice column, where readers send in letters detailing the difficulties they face in navigating romantic relationships in the modern era.
