For starters - no Irish State/Gov agencies/politicians should be on Twitter. None. They could do this today and it would actually be more than just empty words.

This spoiled vote thing is a Big Flashing Danger sign in the week of racist riots in Ireland - we're stumbling towards a crisis with no leadership or will to tackle misinformation, criminality, intimidation. And we've seen it coming since the Anti-Vaxx loons started screaming in chemists.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

10 years ago, there was only a single 'leathceann' (windswept) birch tree in the foreground. Now, there's a full-on exploding diverse native rainforest, none of which was planted. All it took was fencing out sheep. Let's rewild the world 🌏

Our new journal paper has hit the front pages and got wide coverage on the airwaves this morning. The paper critically assesses “temperature neutrality” as a basis for Ireland’s long-term climate target. We find it amounts to backsliding on climate ambition and locks in food system unfairness.

Loyalists topping a giant bonfire with effigies of refugees in a boat in Northern Ireland is yet another illustration of how deep, putrid racism can endure for centuries within societies whose origins are colonial. Whole identities are built on being superior to others.

Last night Russia attacked a European capital with ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones. Today the story barely registers in international news headlines. Western normalization and acceptance of Russian atrocities in Ukraine is what makes them possible.

What has von der Leyen to say about devastating hourly attacks on Gaza? The devastating brutality in the Weat Bank? The devastating blockade of food & water on an entire population? Absolutely nothing, that’s what. But now EU’s supposed to show solidarity with the war criminals instead? For shame.

Great to meet residents in Midleton this morning. I really enjoyed canvassing this part of the town in the run up to the election & it was lovely to encounter some of the same people again. Not a lot of concerns raised today but I residents know where we are for support in the months & years ahead.

He’s got away with untold crimes, lies & offences. He’s achieved the highest office in the land. Twice. He’s lining his pockets on an industrial scale & persecuting his enemies for fun. But he’s still a miserable, bitter, humourless & furious man. Because deep inside, he knows *exactly* who he is.

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media. But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

Great advice. There’s just that pesky risk of life in prison if this regime doesn’t last forever. Or if they decide to throw you under the bus for any reason. And every foreign intelligence service will definitely be targeting you already. Plus a small chance you might get torn apart by an angry mob

I won't lie: after 3 weeks of experiencing almost unimaginably abundant and diverse Costa Rican nature, returning home to the Irish ecological moonscape is a visceral gut punch. But what Costa Rica shows is that it doesn't have to stay like this: nature CAN return.

It is expected that Ireland will generate more electricity from utility-scale solar PV than from coal this year 🌞 And PV installations are growing so quickly (from such a low base) that similar solar power was generated in October this year than June 2023. SEAI's "Energy in Ireland" is out today.

Capitalism is not, as its defenders insist, a system designed to distribute wealth, but one designed to capture and concentrate it. The story capitalism tells about itself – that you become rich through hard work and enterprise – is the greatest propaganda coup in human history.
