"What, according to Jim O’Callaghan, is supposed to happen when a child expresses discomfort about hugging an older relative? Their parents should make them do it anyway?" Here's a Surrealing in the Years Bank Holiday Special. The commenters absolutely love this one, I'm sure you can imagine.
He should be asked more about his love for Trump etc. Show his stupid extremist positions for what they are.
I'm between annoyed that gobdaw Bryson has escaped the X bubble into the general media sphere, and partly delighted that people are getting to hear how much of an absurdist balloon he is about stuff. The IT podcast had him on yesterday, and he could have been challenged a bit more
Highlighting her achievement of publishing something tangible and of value to people versus what data centres do. I dunno if he's thought this through
"So Sally Rooney has published six and a half million books - that's quite a lot of books, well done - but that's about 15,000 tonnes of emissions." Ireland's data centre industry boss has lashed out at writer Sally Rooney for her opposition to the sector www.thejournal.ie/sally-rooney...

Far right protesters can walk into libraries to threaten people with a police escort and block roads asking brown skinned people for ID while the Gardai look on. The same Gardai will happily put a dozen leftie students in A+E for a week during an eviction protest. I hope this helps your analysis
Opinion: Ireland’s left has failed to penalise government for decades of inaction but the right has

I saw a screenshot of this and had to go and check if it was real. How can you be the BBC’s cyber correspondent and not have heard of PHP before yesterday? *And* now be talking confidently about it on the news. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ck...

A powerful thread that is spot on too. #IrishPol
My mother and sister both have careers I would describe as requiring professional-grade empathy. I consider them both experts at it. Many times, I’ve seen them educate people on the importance of respecting the bodily autonomy of children, most often via the advice: do not force them to hug.

A comprehensive Isabel Hayes rejection of a far-right Aontú/Jim O'Callaghan attack on a Dublin Rape Crisis Centre (DRCC) campaign advocating the teaching of consent to small children. O'Callaghan is the Dublin government's Minister for Justice - he should be fired. Small children - boycott Aontú!
This, from the hugely experienced Irish courts reporter, Isabel Hayes, on the Minister for Justice’s performative outrage over an ad about children and consent, is worth reading.
PHP haterz are gonna love this. Truth is, there's vulnerabilities in everything all the time and so many of the worlds software libraries are maintained by one maintainer Interesting case if you're a nerd like me en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XZ_Util...
An unconfirmed report claims PHP2Shell enables RCE on PHP sites; watchTowr says the exploit allegedly affects all versions since PHP 5, released in 2004 (Dan Goodin/Ars Technica) Main Link | Techmeme Permalink
Is this why it took years and so much money to develop? Because people kept adding features. Sounds like my idea of a hellish project to be on.
Rockstar Games gave the GTA 6 developers so much freedom to add cool details that not even the studio's top executives are aware of everything in the game. For more info: https://bit.ly/4yZOetW
I can't quite put my finger on it, but the guy who said it wasn't his responsibility for road deaths, welcoming the abandonment of any attempts to prevent future deaths might not be acting in our best interests...
A plan by the Road Safety Authority to install breathalysers in pubs and hotels nationwide has been stood down. It’s understood the decision follows ministerial intervention today. Tonight the Minister of State with responsibility for road safety, Sean Canney, welcomed the news

This has to end. Our government needs to grow a spine and show the people in Ireland they're willing to break from the USA and boycott Israel. We should be using the EU presidency to persuade other countries to invoke the trade clauses ending the EU trade with Israel. #speirgorm
The violence experienced by our colleague, barriers to reaching medical care and growing restrictions imposed on Palestinian communities are not coincidental. Read our statement: www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/palestine-ms...
