iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Paul Murphy TD @paulmurphy.pbp.ie · 28/09/2026

The amount of secondhand embarrassment I have felt when I've followed someone back and gotten a (hopefully auto) DM saying "Thanks so much for your support, if you want to keep in touch with my other fans there's a Discord..." Etc. (Not a subtweet, this hasn't happened in yonks!)

Data centres are putting huge demands on our electricity system and infrastructure while households face rising costs and pressure on public services. The question of who pays for this expansion is also a question about what kind of economy we want, and who it is being run for.

I’m so sick of looking at AI generated memes of his face Not funny Not cute Was all the environmental stress worth it? Supporting AI companies and the sick techno-bros are the unfortunate byproducts of the lamo joke I am going on a muting tear Might unfollow the worst offenders

Hire me to do a voiceover for you, I don't just do trailers. If you're a marginalised person I'll do it for free if it's under ~500 words.

This story is wild throughout, but I was particularly dumbfounded that Ghislaine Maxwell gave a fucking TED Talk in 2013. Amazing.

NEW: After we published an investigation into Brown Brothers Media, a company that buys struggling news sites and turns them into AI-powered content mills, we got a tip that completely gobsmacked me: one of the brothers has extensive connections to Ghislaine Maxwell futurism.com/artificial-i...

You Know Those Three Brothers Who Buy Struggling News Sites and Turn Them Into AI-Powered Content Farms? It Turns Out One of Them Has Extensive Connections to Ghislaine Maxwell

Ideapod, a cornerstone brand of Brown Brothers Media's AI empire, has deep ties to convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.

If you'd like to buy anything here, it would be great. Travelling abroad for a funeral and I'm kind of all over the place. But the free option is always there too if you feel like listening to a story and don't have cash, always.

There are too many emails. Filled in optional arrival time box, telling hotel I would be checking in sometime within an hour or so after check-in time begins. Got an email re: "Special request" saying good news we can fulfil that special request and there is no extra charge.

Have people gotten better about specifying whether they're extending invitations to unpaid or paid games? I feel like they have. I remember in the early days of StartPlaying, seeing some extremely awkward social media interactions that went on far too long before the GM mentioned the paid aspect.

A poignant thing about wanting to go to a place you see in a movie: you can't. You can't go there *then*. You can only go there some time after *now.*

Most people have probably seen this at this point, but just in case, here's the shop link. If you just buy a story at regular price I appreciate it a great deal, and if you want to get one or both for free, just use the super secret code "FREE." That makes me happy too! ko-fi.com/conorm4076/s...

...And I shared the wrong link. My brain isn't great today. Here's the shop itself. Any support is extremely welcome, but I'd love if people buy stuff so that they get something in return, or "buy" for free using the code "FREE" at checkout. ko-fi.com/conorm4076/s...

Call me old fashioned but I don't think the mission of Irish universities is to educate Chinese students in China or American students in America. We are not budding multinational businesses- we are a public service for students in Ireland, wherever they come from. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/educ...

Irish colleges should focus on teaching abroad, not attracting foreign students – Minister

State already has insufficient accommodation for those in higher education, James Lawless says

People I appreciate, volume 371: Those who react to you saying you haven't seen a movie by telling you good things about it and/or saying they're excited for you to see it, rather than giving you shit.

I am 5'8" vertically but also horizontally and pre-cane I got Tom Sawyered into being an unpaid house moving guy by a lot of people who said things like, "well, you're a big guy, would you be around on Saturday to help out?"

It's worth reminding though: I may be going through it a bit at the moment, but I'm still around to donate work. If you're a marginalised person and you could use a free voiceover of up to 500 words, I'd love to help out if you can use me. Just give me a couple of weeks lead time at the moment.

It always bears repeating: Chris is the best. All these years and still making sheets that people get real use out of. A great pillar of the community.

Maybe the below sounds callous. I hope not. It's just, two siblings and my best friend in three years, I'm kind of overwhelmed, washed out. I know life is like this and it accelerates as you get older, but man. It's rough.

I would just like stuff to pause, please. Can we pause? Just a few days. During this time no-one will die, people will shrug instead of argue, and coffee and cake will be free of charge globally. Is this all cool, is everyone up for this? Show of hands? (Target ~7-8 billion)

I just set up a Ko-Fi thinking "I need to get serious about raising money to move to France, maybe I can sell some more audio stories." But then today I lost another sibling. Funeral will be abroad. If you'd like to buy something, now is a good time. ko-fi.com/conorm4076
