Honestly there's very few things I consider should be a fireable offense for a public servant but this, uh, this is one of them

Like this is just a damning statement of how nasty Fine Gael are; they won't criticise colleagues for political failings, but will anonymously brief against them due to their disability and health issues. Like just hideous people to treat their colleague like this

We are in a situation where I, someone who thinks Patrick O'Donovan is a thoroughly useless minister, feel obliged to defend him from his own party colleagues because they hate him for being disabled

a very important reason that i find myself opposed to ai is that near-every vocal promoter of it seems to view humans with utter disdain and consequently reaches absolutely whacko conclusions. yes this includes bill gates

it has been truly dispiriting to see people suggesting O'Donovan isn't fit for office due to his disability this week. some were gleeful he was hospitalised right after getting publicly upset about his own party colleagues briefing against him in the press because he's epileptic

Whatever else about any other aspect, Rooney has given *just* enough information to lay out her position while letting people - both her allies and enemies - fill in the gaps themselves, ensuring this is going to be talked about as much as possible as people argue out their theories and headcanons

Still can't believe their legal department didn't intervene on this tbh

I'm starting to suspect that if there was the slightest hint of consequences for the people who make them, these robots would magically no longer be quite so predisposed towards crime

Tech: "Our robots will commit all kinds of crime! Maybe even genocide!" Govt: "So... will you stop making the crime robots?" Tech: "Oh heavens no. Will you tell us to stop?" Govt: "Wouldn't dream of it" There's something a bit off about all this, isnt there

It's not even at that level, that's the maddest thing, it's just letting them do whatever they want for zero benefit???

Completely incomprehensible priorities of this government once more; despite saying they govern for them, this shows it is not about the people who make this country function, nor is it about those who create and/or work hard in jobs. Hell, it's not even about their own voters, apparently?

The Foggy Jew @hmcevansoneya.bsky.social · 14/10/2026

Something very on the nose about this btw: the same day sector workers go on strike because the government wouldn't take their request for fair pay seriously, said government is at an "AI summit" jerking off tech executives, even as they cut jobs in this country left right and center

Like I understand there's obviously some PR advice going on here telling them to behave this way but why endure with it after you've seen you and your colleagues make fools of yourself the first dozen times? I can't believe even they are that detached from how this is coming across

The Foggy Jew @hmcevansoneya.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

I don't understand why Chambers, O'Callghan, O'Brien et al are so committed to an act they clearly aren't comfortable with or competent at. All they've done is cause problems for everyone, start fights they can't win ans embarrass themselves for no discernible reason.

The Foggy Jew @hmcevansoneya.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

Chambers couldnt even keep up his hard man act. Thele unions refused to back down so now hes oscillating between begging them to talk and throwing his toys out the pram in media briefings If he dropped the risible tough guy facade and acted reasonably in the first place, he could have avoided this

This is part of what's baffling, aside from short term benefits to developers it's genuinely impossible to understand why the government seems to think this is such a brilliant state of affairs

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.

Like I'm sorry but the one enduring positive part of Bertie's legacy is a peace agreement, the yanks may be atrocious but they didn't pull his name out of a hat (Also Bougainville but I doubt that was much of a factor)

The Foggy Jew @hmcevansoneya.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

People are going sicko mode on this (understandably, we all hate Bertie and also the idea of a Middle East peace agreement brokered by this US admin is just lol) but stepping back for a moment and uh, he's actually got a track record here

The Foggy Jew @hmcevansoneya.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I think we are across purposes here! To clarify I agree that the intention is to limit power, but what I was referring to as unintended consequences is the in a system where unions have limited power, strikes become incentivised as other methods fail more easily

The Foggy Jew @hmcevansoneya.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I do not think creating more incentive for industrial action an intended outcome of the current industrial relations legislation

Also on the day they provoke a public sector strike, just incredible, finger on the pulse analysis all around

The Foggy Jew @hmcevansoneya.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

If legislation gave unions more robust powers and workers more robust protections, we probably wouldn't have ended up here, but our ruling political parties one again cannot fathom the unintended consequences of the system they very purposefully built

The Foggy Jew @hmcevansoneya.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I just think it's kind of tiresome how, in a country with incredibly weak unions and industrial relations legislation, the government are trying to act wounded and outraged that unions are doing literally the only thing they can do to exercise leverage

Feels like it should be relatively simple to protest, or correctly observe the relative over-policing of these protests without being racist yourselves but you made your decision and here we are I guess

Ultimately it feels like all you're doing is feeding something, not the machine, but the lazy, uninterested people using it who claim passion but want to invest no effort or thought. Why give them the material at this point? They clearly aren't capable of doing it themselves

It's been very difficult to stay motivated in the face of this. I've done everything on my project by hand and seeing people throw together this crap - frequently copying my work - is depressing
