whenever Cathal Crowe is in the news, I am reminded of two things

(1) he is a conspiracy theorist who believes the (non-existent) crown of Brian Boru is hidden in a church in the Vatican whose wall he wants to smash open

(2) he is the chair of the Committee on Education and Youth

Done. Good shout.

Empty vessels get attention when they make noise.
So this is a good day to contact your local public reps and let them know that, contrary to what three weirdos say on the internet, you have no problem with drag queens - and add politely that you will have a problem with TDs pandering to bigotry

the genocide you facilitate/reward in Palestine disproportionately impact women. Do you think the women you name above would approve of you appropriating their names?

If Claude can murder hundreds of innocent schoolgirls, imagine what it can do for your codebase!

Fairphone put out a document that takes a holistic look at the environmental impact of electronics. Everything detailed by component, material, process, etc. Really interesting for those looking to dig deeper

Superb work by The Journal.
It badly needed to be put on record.
This joke isn't funny anymore.

Statement on The Hague Group Meeting on Accountability and the Enforcement of Intl Law in Palestine. 4th Mar '26.

Ireland attended this meeting. So, I'm assuming that the Occupied Territories Bill will be passed in full in the coming days. Because that's what they just agreed to.

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

Jim O Callaghan. A man in search of an amygdala.

The importance of maintaining the triple lock could not be clearer.

Any government that can't call out clear violations of international law because they're afraid how the US will respond cannot be trusted with decisions about foreign deployment of troops.

It's as simple as that.

“client journalist to the establishment” is a great phrase.

Ireland used to respect the UN Sec Gen. Now she pretends not to hear him.

The US killing one and hundred fifty school children in a single attack on Iran has apparently been universally decided to be a non story by the Western press. Not front page news, not in the highlights, instantly memory holed. Profession and institutions worse than worthless.

"All the people under broken homes
Don't wanna fight no more
All the people nursing shattered bones
Don't wanna fight no more
But there's no profit in peace
So we've gotta fight some more"

Britain is a rich country which has been captured by a small number of it's richest individuals over a number of decades. Its media hunts in packs, creating salience from irrelevancies, generating fears in the population unrelated to their actual problems in life and promoting the scapegoating of minorities while conducting little to no structural assessments of the real problems that the political and social worlds have inherited and intensified. It is surely of no little significance that it turns out that this model of public capture of political discourse for private gain is one which is revealed by these Epstein documents to have had been a global formula.

After today's English by-election result, a reminder;

Some bot account complaining about pronouns in bio shit. I asked the bot to write a poem about pangolins and it did

It happened again

Cool and How many of them have spouses who have rented out properties?

Only problem with Cadburys Eid Egg would be that their chocolate isn’t good anymore. But I’d like to see the Eid egg happen.

The EDLF* have adopted the Trumpian trait of claiming that things are the opposite of what they really are. How can we participate in democracy when those in power surround us with the hall of mirrors that is deliberate misinformation?

If you want to stand up against fascism, then you have to defend trans rights. It’s nonnegotiable. We all lose otherwise.

Senator Alice Mary Higgins asked the CnaM Chairman why his organisation didn’t take action under the Irish Online Safety Code against Grok generating CSAM.

Apparently, it didn’t appear to them to be a breach of the code.

What , then, is it good for?

Clarity on today's email tool!

Only Councillors in Donegal, Mayo, Galway and Kerry have the opportunity to share their opinions with MARA in relation to the corporate takeover over of Seaweed harvesting. But ANYONE can email them ✊️
