The Reverse Centaurs Guide to Life After AI by @doctorow.pluralistic.net is a really good read on how and why AI companies are sucking up all the investment, headlines and attention. Scary stuff, but really informative.

I’m sorry but Kneecap are shite. #speirghorm

Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.

Serbia’s student-led movement has delivered a historic election upset, ending 14 years of rule by Aleksandar Vučić’s party. Millions celebrated across Serbia and Europe.

The news from Brazil and Serbia are great and show that you don't defeat the far right by copying it or trying to appeal to their supporters You do it by being uncompromising, showing the danger they pose and offering something different to the many crises people suffer from

Interesting read but Conor assumes people walk or teleport everywhere? Where are the motoring/bus costs? Cork, Dublin, Galway, Limerick: Which are Ireland’s cheapest and dearest cities? www.irishtimes.com/your-money/2...

I assume everyone who wrote about the hospital bike shed in their columns and talked about the hospital bike shed on their radio shows and tweeted about the hospital bike shed on their Nazi owned micro blogging app are very excited to discuss this

Lula Goes HARD

The achievement of Serbian students overthrowing Aleksandar Vučić can't be overstated. In 2024, they began protesting. In 2025, they transformed a protest movement into civil dissidence. In 2026, they became a political party — and two months later, crushed a corrupt state-entrenched authoritarian.

I chatted to Clifden locals about how they cope in the off-season for the cover story in the Weekend section of this weekend’s Irish Times. ‘Economically it probably would make sense to close’: Clifden businesses prepare for barren winter www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...

Don’t forget to join the Collective Sigh for Change at 4pm today. How else will we bring about the changes that we want if we aren’t willing to sigh about the pointlessness of it all? #Sigh4Change

This is bonkers to the level you'd seriously worry about his suitability to hold a senior policing role

Had this idea in lockdown, half-built it, forgot about it, remembered it again, though might as well finish it.

It makes me deeply uncomfortable that the Minister for Justice has used his Twitter account to create an online pile on of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre. It also appears to me a dangerous precedent that this minister, and his dept. have instructed the DRCC to remove content that he disapproved of.

Fuck me…all drivers should wear hi-vis because they will be getting out of the vehicle at some stage, possibly in car parks, which are quite dangerous. #speirghorm

Hysterical and predictable reaction to an advert on Liveline and earlier in the Dáil from the usual suspects. Text DRCC to 50300 to donate to DRCC. They really do fantastic work!

Just to add that what DRCC are talking about here is a long-standing, bog standard position in books about parenting and among child psychologists and social workers. This is something that was uncontroversial a quarter of a century ago.

‘I’m 100% in favour of consent, apart from this.’ #liveline #speirghorm

The hysterical overreaction proves the need for this ad. Snowflakes.

Did volunteer work, cleaned the house, changed a dirty diaper, had to live on a meager budget, understands and embraces diversity

Seen this story all day today. Every headline says "27 year old Minnesota man..." I have yet to see one with the headline that the man was Somalian. The most maligned and denigrated group in Minnesota www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

This is how you do it. Frame automatic traffic cameras as a safety solution (which they are), and ignore drivers who get mad that they can no longer break the law with impunity.

Kenny's are a great bookshop by the way, I've ordered from them before. Wonderful store to visit in person too, if you're nearby. 👍
