BTW, even if there is an exodus because of a wealth tax - fuck those people who don't want to pay their share. Never let them back into the country again.

democracy doesn't begin and end at the ballot box! the right to organise, protest and withdraw your labour is a key part of a healthy democracy too!!! big businesses spend millions lobbying to tip the scales of "democracy" in between elections, protest is ordinary people's way to push back!!!!!

With this government & the minister of state in charge of road safety we have effectively de-regulated the purported #VisionZero effort. Another pedestrian death today. But that was everyone’s responsibility!

Ciarán Cannon: No, Seán Canney, 'everybody' is not responsible for road deaths
As road deaths rise, the Government dropped planned reforms of the RSA and increased public transport fares — and now the minister seems to be disavowing political responsibility, writes Ciarán Cannon

Bit of positive news to start the week: the online voter registration system voter.ie is now live nationwide (having previously worked only for Dubliners) - now anyone in the State can register or update their details on the electoral register in a couple of minutes using only their PPS number.

huge "every accusation is a confession" energy here, given Fine Gael is a not insignificant vector for infiltration of public institutions by Catholic fundamentalists who claim adherence to democratic values while working to undermine them
An X post by Fine Gael councillor Jim O'Leary that reads

EU is wakening up: Parliament passes resolution addressing concerns about Islamist entryism as a calculated strategy of infiltration in public institutions & civil society, pursuing a fundamentalist agenda that claims adherence to democratic values while working to undermine them

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

I don’t think I’m the only person who will appreciate this
Triangular diagram labelled The Introvert
Hierarchy of Needs. 

Top: Self-actualisation - A completely empty house. An arrow pointing to the house says “Nobody needs anything. Nobody is coming home for hours. Phone on silent.” 

The next level is Esteem - Plans getting cancelled. An arrow here says “‘Sorry, we're going to have to rearrange.’ Oh no. That's terrible. I'm devastated.” 

Next level: Belonging - One person you actually like. No group chat. No networking. No "let's go round and introduce ourselves." Just one person you can talk absolute shit with. 

Fourth level: Safety - An escape route. Own car. End seat. Knowing exactly when the event finishes. A believable reason to leave early.

Bottom of pyramid: Physiological needs - Being left the fuck alone for a bit. Food. Water. Sleep. 45 minutes where nobody speaks to you.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

A picture of Elon Musk, via the London Economic.

Two suffragists in period dress, ceremonially putting ballots into a ballot box. The background has been replaced with an elaborate collage of 19th C printing-press parts. The ballots are glowing with radiant spikes. The face of the ballot box has been replaced with an Nvidia Vera Lynn GPU.
