I already see three characters I recognise.

The Irish Steam Sale is gonna be from the 13th to the 20th, and there are some *incredibly* good games developed in Ireland. Good chance to get some of them.

I had the honour of being asked to illustrate the marketing piece for this amazing Steam event coming up for Paddy's day presented by IMIRT - The Irish Game Makers Association.

I've joined the other by-election candidates on the left in co-signing this letter condemning the vile racist abuse being directed at Labour councillor and fellow by-election candidate Helen Ogbu

We cannot let this kind of abuse stand in Ireland.

Neon Odyssey - Cinematic Trailer | Space Opera in D&D 5E | Coming to Kickstarter YouTube video by Legends of Avantris

I'm absolutely floored by how cool this video turned out!

I had the honour of working with Wild Blue Studios on a couple of the illustrations in this cinematic trailer.

And that song is a proper banger.

Very excited for this project.

This is what the market-led policies of Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil have given us. They've put the profits of landlords and investment funds above ordinary people.

That's why I've decided to run in the Galway West by-election. It's time we had a radical shift in housing policy that puts people first.

We have once again joined the Palestine Solidarity Soc and other groups at University of Galway to demand they tear up their contract with Technion, the Israeli Institute of Technology and de facto R&D wing of the Israeli military.

We will not allow our Irish institutions be complicit in Genocide.

Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.

Discord was going to use age verification that literally pipes your information straight to the fascist US government, until hackers exposed it.

It really works! A year ago, I still had lots of FB friends posting AI "art". I was nicely talking to them about it at first, but nothing changed until I got mean about it. Zero AI in my feed now, and half those people have joined in being staunchly anti-AI. We gotta be mean!

Micheál Martin just said in the Dáil that it's important to say "no SNA is being removed from any school during this school year."

Yeah... Everyone knows it's September that they are being cut!🤦‍♂️

Parents, children, teachers, SNAs are being failed by this government.
