So the BBC woke up and chose violence.

Look, I made some mistakes. I was queasy and not hungry at dinner time, but now I am not queasy and hungry. However it is almost 11pm and if I eat something now the cycle will start over. I am not your strongest soldier etc etc.

Mayo's win will either trigger a complete timeline reset and course correct us, or trigger the end times. There is no in between. Hon the boys all the same.

Look, is Sam Neill the only reason I have a PhD? No. Rachel Weisz also contributed. But he was there first.

It's New Year, so time to look back and forward. These are 10 things I think we need to recognise in 2026. It’s a response to what I think are profoundly damaging mistaken assumptions I’ve heard and read from practitioners, journalists, and analysts in 2025. Warning: very long🧵

How do the minimalist professional girlies do it with their tiny bags? I was down for an overnight in Dublin for work and I didn't need my laptop. This meant I didn't need to bring my rucksack. It nearly ruined the entire trip. As it transpires, I do not know how to function travelling without it.

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work

The London water + London weather combo is doing an absolute number on my hair. It has the texture and consistency of a used brillo pad. More power to the insta girlies because I truly don't know how they do it.

I'd like to offer my personal apologies for the thunderstorms in London. I wore shorts, and brought a coat that wasn't fully fully waterproof. God was never letting that level of Irish hubris stand.

Out here fighting the good fight in 32°C, trying to be cute. So far, I've had to clip my hair up to stop it from welding to my face, I've progressed from "shiny" to "sticky" (powder be damned) and I dropped a knife on my skirt so now its stained. Give me a chance here.

A number of Four Courts Press books can now be borrowed on archive.org. Four Courts is a key publisher of works on Irish history, and this means some out of print edited collections on early modern history are now more readily available. And you can read some of my articles there too! For example:

Discord also being subject to the OSA is hilarious because it can only go one of two ways; a systemic collapse of the UK user base OR a mass exodus of UK users to be replaced by "international" accounts.
