Can find all the money in the world for this but won’t enter negotiations on pay deals for public servants. We’ve been without a pay agreement since the end of June.

Irish government & the EU failing the ICC; they need to stand up to US pro-Israel bullying. “May 2025 President Akane asked publicly for EU help, and for it to activate its available statutory scheme to protect the Court personnel. As of today the EU has failed to do this, without giving reasons”

I'm usually all for burn the system all down and build it again, but we need to have plans in place on how we're going to build it again. So I don't want a country to totally collapse, even as I call out and want the genocide to stop

I may have missed it, but I didn't hear anything in #Budget27 about storm preparedness, food security, or emergency planning. They don't matter I suppose 🙃 #IrishPol

Gazan students’ visas must be granted before it is too late. A group of leading Irish academics write that the mass refusal of visas to Palestinian students makes a mockery of the Taoiseach’s speech to the UN General Assembly. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

This is why I think it's so important to push back against the personification of LLMs. If a person shoots someone while wearing a hand puppet, they can't claim the hand puppet did the murder.

Upending creatives’ rights in the name of national security is a lazy and poorly-thought-through idea that would fail to deliver on its goals but would be sure to harm the world’s creative community. It should be fought at all costs. /end

Remember - they are calling it the EU KIDS Act so that if you raise objections to it (such as the inevitable need for everyone online to register with a govt ID so the platforms can identify the kids) you are then against the Kids.

You know there's lots of fear mongering about how the working population can't support pensions and social services. I would have thought more working aged people is a good thing that would increase the tax base. But apparently we cripple ourselves to placate a group that will never be placated

There’s yet another celebrity promoting their children’s book on national TV this morning and at some point we really need a proper conversation about how deeply unfair that is. To get such huge, free advertising, propelling their book above all the brilliant authors who arguably deserve it more.

Dear @simonharrisireland.bsky.social, the government of Ireland has the power to regulate social media companies (including their algorithms). The "breakdown in respect for authority" started with the gov abdicating its responsibility to regulate product safety in tech. www.rte.ie/news/politic...

3/ they don’t make it their whole identity. If you want to be a stay at home Mom, fair dues, and government policies should support this. If you don’t, you should not be demonised and seen as lesser. Choice in how a woman mothers was one of the earliest and most consistent demands of feminism

The Government commissioned a €100k report by KMPG not to inform policy but to 'provide the evidence base that supports the position that we should continue to further develop our data centre landscape post 2030.' That is reckless and negligent. www.thejournal.ie/data-centre-...

Concerns over supporting data centres ahead of transport or housing scrubbed from government report
Several aspects which questioned continued investment in the sector were later cut from the final version released to the public.

The Guardian once asked me 'what one change would you make to achieve Black equality in Britain?' and it feels appropriate to share my answer again
Athena Kugblenu: Allow Black people to be mediocre too!
Athena Kugblenu
I would like to replace #blackexcellence with #blackmediocrity. True equality is when our talent:recognition ratio is allowed to be as broad as white people’s. Lewis Hamilton had to win two Formula One titles before he bagged BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 2014; Greg Rusedski only had to get battered by Pat Rafter to win his. Kwasi Kwarteng steered the economy towards an iceberg and got sacked. Jeremy Hunt drove the NHS over a cliff, now he’s chancellor. Don’t get me started on how many football clubs get ruined by freshly retired white footballers while very qualified Black managers are overlooked. When the arc of the moral universe bends towards Black people failing upwards as their peers do, we will be in the promised land.

I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.
