To counter AI, an illustrator in Balbriggan offers to draw posters for barter. Lauren Fernandes noticed menus and flyers all over with the same sterile look, and thought: what if she could help out small businesses which can't afford creative work, usually?

Tech companies generate billions for the Irish exchequer in corporation tax, so they have a considerable amount of power and sway over the Irish government, writes illustrator Harry Burton. "This reminds me of the power and sway the Catholic Church had over previous governments and politicians."
In the illustration, we can see Micheál Martin and Simon Harris in the pews in a church bow before the behemoth that is Big Tech, represented by a stained-glass window with logos of various companies.

"The new Public Spending Efficiency Taskforce will have the job of overseeing spending levels and oversee public spending." Isn't that what DPER was set up to do? And very joyfully they have been doing it too.

The current private contract for Oireachtas broadcasting lapsed at the end of 2025, but the holder agreed to roll over for a year as there were no bidders to take it over. Staff have long sought to be treated as civil service equivalents, but the Oireachtas itself says this would treble the cost

Part of me cannot believe that in 2024, a women is taken so for granted as a piece of meat by a group of men. However, I know it happens. But, we’ve got to be better about accountability and punishment. Women have got to speak up and not normalize a harassment experience. 1/

Have been a regular for ~35 years at Lansdowne but couldn’t stomach it this evening. None of us took our season ticket seats. Would have enjoyed seeing that goal live but struggling to articulate how we feel about this team. It was good to see the protest there despite RTÉ cutting away a lot.

🧵 A new survey of LGBTQ ppl in Ireland has just been done by Trinity College, Dublin. It gives an idea on where we are, in the Irish state, on homophobia & transphobia. I know legacy media thinks we are on the pig’s back & they are scapegoating trans ppl - but how are we experiencing life? [1]

There are two simultaneous anti-choice protests raking place right now outside City Hall, 20 feet apart, one for the Catholics and one for the Protestants. This place has its drawbacks but ypu have to concede there is a rich seam in the comedy mines.

They absolutely should not have said the players voted. 'A decision was taken' would be enough. Shifting it back onto the players is dumb.
