Really delighted to see @claudiadalby.bsky.social in Issue 20 | Autumn/Winter 2025/Speculative Fiction, for a short story she wrote on my course @irishwriterscentre.bsky.social. It was a brilliant story in the first flourish onto the page, and evidently got to publication with minor redrafting. Fab!

Talking to an AI customer service bot inspires a really unique frustration. It's like being locked in the bathroom and the only people outside the door are a two year old and a goldfish in a bowl

There’s a city of 237,000 refugees on the Chadian/sudanese border in Adre. The Sudan war is the biggest humanitarian crisis in the world right now. 150,000 dead and 12 million displaced. Chris Maddaloni and I spent a week in refugee camps in east Chad. www.irishtimes.com/life-style/p...

Here's something that takes seconds and could have actual positive outcomes. There is an official 'citizen's petition' system in the EU. There's one open at the moment to ban conversion therapy for LGBT+ people in the EU. Ireland can be 1 of the 7 nations needed eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

Why’s this new social media network different? What does it mean to be able to pick your own algorithm, instead of having Musk or Zuckerberg pick for you?

Despite attempts to address it, such as increasing the gender quota to 40%, Dáil Éireann has the worst gender diversity in western Europe. Out of 174 seats in last month's general election, 44 went to women in a representation of slightly more than 25%. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...
