the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

Sitting in the office one afternoon, Jimbob from sales goes running past - absolutely legging it like. I asked one of the other sales lads what was going on. Turns out Jimbob had just realised he’d been wearing his jeans back to front all day.

You can tell this is actually a fake cr*pto scam because no article about Glen Hansard in an Irish newspaper would ever feature the words "Sorry, he did what?" because they all knew damn well but never printed it.

Was lucky enough to see a preview of this tonight (in cinemas end of January) and it totally lives up to the hype - and Andrew is *spectacular*. Stunning performance. And I can't remember the last time I cried so much at the cinema. Bawled my eyes out, ugly wet face floods at numerous points. 🙌😭

Yates went to a boarding school called Columbas near Rathfarnham, the most expensive private school in the country at the time but one which rarely featured in top LC results lists. A teacher friend remarked that kids weren’t sent there to get smart, they were getting their stupid polished.

Newspapers should be required to fact check their columnists. Anti-train columnist Colm McCarthy claims that the only publicly available cost benefit analysis of MetroLink is from a preliminary assessment in 2022. An updated cost benefit analysis was published last week.

There’s a gaping hole in the case for the €16bn MetroLink

It’s because as funny as Widow’s Bay is at times, it also does the horror stuff very very well and I think that confuses people. It’s not campy horror à la Lost Boys or Ghostbusters, it’s horror that’s genuinely tense and unsettling at times.

This govt continues to pick the side of CEOs and big business, and not the side of the people having to choose between heating or eating every winter. Our windfall tax would have allowed them to shift their priority and do the right thing. Instead, they all but ignored it, and voted it down.

It's official: Ireland has the most expensive electricity in Europe. Yet govt seem happy to bury their heads in the sand, and ignore calls for windfall taxes and targeted energy credits. In our Alt Budget, we have a wide range of measures that would make energy more affordable for you, right now.

In the face of violence and indignity we choose peace, protest, and solidarity. For this we are slandered. For this we are goaded. For this we're even threatened with death. And yet our leaders continue to grovel and lament that "Someone should do something... but not us". Cowards.

They've kidnapped and abused Irish civilians and politicians. They've fired on peacekeeping forces working with Irish soldiers. And yet our response is not to call for violence. We called for peace. We called for accountability and to cut ties with them until that accountability had been realised.
