I was bowled over by Camp Miasma. A beautiful, dreamy masterpiece that collapses the boundaries between fantasy and reality, celebration and critique. A film about the power (and limitations) of cinema/art as a means of self realisation. One of the year’s best.

A Portlaoise-based former student of Carlow College says she is “sad at the loss of opportunity” for people who are in a similar situation to her own, in the wake of the college’s closure. Meanwhile, staff rail against what they say is a lack of transparency. www.laois-nationalist.ie/laois-based-...

I'm very moved by this letter in today's Irish Examiner.

Letter in the Irish Examiner, dated 02/05/2026. It reads: "Lessons from raising our trans children

Three things we have learned from being old enough to have teenage trans children:

Reboots are always disappointing. Save your money to spend on new, original work instead of tired old tropes;

The next generation is wise, loving, and well able to exercise its discernment in a kind and responsible manner, as exemplified by David Monaghan (“Millennials have a moral obligation to avoid the Harry Potter reboot”);

Love wins.

Mammies for Trans Rights"

It was a pleasure to discuss season one of Alien: Earth on The 250! I think the show is great, an antidote to the recent slew of drab franchise tie-ins that have dropped on streaming. It was also an excuse to gush a little bit a out Noah Hawley's work!

I get so many people commenting "ai is just a mirror - they got what they put into it" and that's just objectively incorrect. Is your mirror trained on all the data scrapped from the internet? Is your mirror pushed towards sycophancy? Do these people own mirrors?

A letter from President Catherine Connolly to the trans community of Ireland, wishing them "warmest wishes" on TDOR. She also marks the 10th anniversary of the GRA 2015 and "reminds us that the work of safeguarding dignity and ensuring genuine inclusion remains ongoing."

More and more mainstream outlets are incorporating AI imagery into their output. Just saw a relatively popular history podcast use an gen AI roman soldier's helmet in a YouTube thumbnail. It had all the hallmarks, including the gross yellow filter. Whatever your opinion of GAI, it just looks cheap.

People with convictions face major barriers to employment. Catherine Connolly suggested we should not view them as nebulous "forever criminals", allow them to make a positive contribution. That this has turned into salacious 'gotcha'-style questioning is disappointing, but unsurprising.

the rest of the article states that renting is better than buying because your house price might fall after you buy a property... the only reason that would potentially be an issue was if you saw a house as an investment, rather than a home. a home is what renters need – not an investment
