Interesting article from RTE telling you that you will never amount to anything as an author by a guy who has had one book published and regards himself as an industry guru www.rte.ie/culture/2026... #speirgorm

Everyone is a writer now — but what does being a writer mean?
I've taught creative writing for years, in universities, writers' centres, libraries and festivals, online and in person, and the people who come to these courses are always wildly different.

So the RTE short story competition has come around again and this time I didn’t even get the “We’re sorry you didn’t make it” email. It’s the little things…

There’s a lot of American people on here saying petrol prices are a red line issue in their upcoming elections. Do you not realise you are now buying Venezuelan oil at elevated prices now that Hormuz is off the table. And who owns the control of Venezuelan oil? Democracy didn’t stop Hitler.

Just heard a trailer for a movie about the weather forecasting for D day. Lots of male English voices in the clip but I thought it was an Irish woman who got it right?

I’m sure Tim Berners Lee didn’t think when he was writing his white paper on the invention of the internet, that it would ever become a universal vassal for fascism and hatred…

I’m just wondering - just on the off chance - in case we’re not sure - in the unlikely event - you know with social media and all that - just so I can be sure - in case anyone asks - and people might have been unsure - and they needed to know themselves Has anyone read any good news stories today?

With the proliferation of violent robots in other parts of the world, it would be prudent of our politicians to ban them before they arrive. But then we’re are dealing with people who solve joyriding problems with a high viz… #speirgorm

Did his project 25 thing explain how he will go about staying in power? Maybe there's a spoiler alert that can be headed off at the pass. Then again, it's probably in the bag given what he has gotten away with thus far....

I think Musk’s heralding of UBI is a false flag to usher in his robot age intentions. If he really believed his schtick, he would start financing UBI communities and stop his companies from being toxic rat race warehouses….

The only way to get super rich is to control the supply of something that is in mass demand and has a price. What right does that then give you to control all the other things populations need that are necessities? For example healthcare, education, housing??? publicrepresentative.com

So, Simon Harris is creating a state savings product whereby the Government plays the stock market with people’s savings under the auspices that it isn’t subject to DIRT What on earth could go wrong with that? #speirgorm
