One time a writer friend of mine got too drunk and sobbed bc she said there were too many books in the world she wouldn’t have time to read, and this guy down the bar said, ladies—he isn’t worth it and my friend yelled IM CRYING ABOUT BOOKS and that shut the guy up

As we reflect on sixty years of free secondary education and how it has transformed Ireland, it’s worth remembering that some people thought it was a mistake in its first few years. Who would object to free secondary education? In 1966, quite a few. jrnl.ie/7159629

There was even a pushback against school buses as a nature walk spoiled or an impromptu GAA match missed.

This Jacob Coxon thing is weird. He worked at Anthropic for six weeks and OpenAI for nearly three years. He’s doing a whole media tour without any real statements about what it is he’s scared of other than vague references to recursive self improvement, a theoretical ai that teaches itself.

I know it's where we're at in 2026 and we all know it, but it bears stating the obvious that every major company in the world is openly throwing a tantrum that people expect them to provide goods and services instead of just sending them a payment of $200 every month for nothing

You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

I’ve been standing stock still in this wood for about 10 minutes while I mess about with a photo on my phone. I look up, notice the shape, and slowly crouch down to film This has made me so happy I feel I could cry. It’s as close to magic as I hope to get.

For writers worried that they won't be able to "prove" their work isn't Spicy Autocomplete--worry not. You thought about every choice and will be able to talk about those choices easily and clearly. Folks who used the slop machine didn't make choices and won't have anything to say about why

The app was built by using Claude. It works by reading your whole document, which is not a process I wish to invite a fucking LLM into. Your proof is in your drafts. This is a barfed-up solution in search of a problem. Or a bunch of scared rubes.

The bookshop is safe. The books are not always. Some will comfort you. Some will argue back. Some will make you uneasy in exactly the way you needed. Friction is fine. Reading is not meant to leave every comfortable assumption untouched. #Indiebookshopweek @booksaremybag.bsky.social

A busy bookshop is a small act of public reassurance. People are still reading. Still browsing. Still thinking. Still buying books they absolutely do not have room for. Civilisation limps on, but at least the shelves are good. #IndieBookshopWeek @booksaremybag.bsky.social

Reports of domestic violence increase by 26% when England play a World Cup match, and 38% if they lose.  With England’s first World Cup game just around the corner, we want to highlight the support available to anyone experiencing domestic violence.
