I can hear a car stopped in traffic outside my window blasting Jeff Buckleys "Lover, you should've come over" it's such an incredible song, and his voice was so beautiful. I wonder who it is playing it? I think we would get on. #Music

Tá brón orm. My car broke down before Christmas I couldn't get it booked in anywhere to have it looked at til today. It is going to cost €1200 + to fix. With my Neuromuscular disease my car is like an extension of my legs. Have really struggled to manage without it the last few weeks. #Spéirgorm

There were Dolphins in the River Lee in #Cork over the last few days, my friend sent a clip, it made me cry they are so beautiful, jealous I didn't get to see them & also keep wondering what brought them into the river. #Spéirgorm

Current situation hot water bottle at my back & now one for across my knees 🥶😂

One thing about all of this is: if the line is not here, at the mainstream, industrial-level creation of CSAM, where is it? Musk by his own mission statement is out to smash societal norms, cut “empathy” from the West, demolish the EU… What is next down the tracks for him, for X, if this isn’t it?

He again then says there is individual responsibility. Extraordinary.

"It's not necessarily the app that's making the images... it's people using the app that's making the images. Making images of that sort is reprehensible..." No, people are asking the app to make the images. IT'S A FEATURE. Not a bug.

My word. (Again.) Media Minister Patrick O'Donovan: "At the end of the day, it's the choice of a person to make these images... technology is moving so fast... even if the law is changed there's no doubt about... the advances are far faster than law is able to respond..."

Protest over the murder of Renee Good outside ICE headquarters in Milwaukee tonight.

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

We're seeing staggering levels of cowardice from Irish and European governments at the moment. We are genuinely fucked

Jesus. Need to be careful about sharing photos, but these were taken by Chris Juhn, a photojournalist in Minneapolis. You can find them on his FB page below. The officer is firing a pepperball. www.facebook.com/story.php?st...

This!! I cannot help but feel we are entering into some kind of really terrifying dystopia where tech bros rule & sycophantic govs pretend to. Are we really going to allow a small group of men to ram through technology that has done & has the potential to do extreme harm to society.

The only logical conclusion from this now is that the Government here, and governments around Europe, are absolutely terrified of being dragged into another battle with the richest man in the world who is hellbent on their removal; or with his ally in the White House over regulation.

THE MACHINE - BY DESIGN - IS ALLOWING PEOPLE TO REMOVE WOMEN'S CLOTHING WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT AND TO MAKE CSAM. How are we at 'good sides to it too, you know?'?

My word. The Taoiseach, in China, says "platforms can be misused and abused or they can be used for positive reasons as well..." and says that should be considered carefully "before jumping to conclusions" on whether it's appropriate for the Government to be on X.

There is no limit to the craven obsequiousness when it comes to the US tech firms. www.thejournal.ie/patrick-odon...

I have been concentrating so hard on trying to #write something today that my neck has gone into spasm, I need to figure out how to stop tensing my muscles so much when I concentrate it's not like tensing your muscles makes you concentrate harder lol 😂. Do other people do this?

Fool even lol 😂 the typo here is spectacular if I do say so myself 🙈

Thanks so much for everyones help with this. I learned a valuable lesson here, sometimes just asking for help & risking looking like a foop saves a lot of time, energy and head scratching. 😊

How do you put a fáda over a letter on a laptop. I know how to do it on my phone but not on my laptop 🙈. Can anyone help me? #Spéirgorm

This is just so heart melting www.instagram.com/reel/DQ_xP5w...

Some people are so helpful and just generous with their time. Feel so grateful. People can be wonderful. 😊

I just saw someone have their eyelashes lifted & tinted on instagram & omg it looks brutal like a form of torture, my eyes sting so much when I even wear mascara.

I made a vision board at the weekend, I don't really believe in manifestation in terms of you think things into reality but I think visualisation & the process of making a vision board & thinking about what you want/whats important to you can be helpful. Erased 2 goals they r just 4 me 😊

Rape Crisis Ireland has called for a total ban on AI-based functions that can produce sexual images of children and adults. It comes after Coimisiún na Meán said it's engaging with the European Commission over concerns the AI tool Grok is being used to create sexually explicit images on X

Great letter in today's Irish Examiner, it is long past time for the Irish government to stop issuing words of condemnation for Israel's crimes against Palestinians unless it backs them up with sanctions on the apartheid state. #OccupiedTerritoriesBill #SanctionsNow

OFCOM has put out this statement about X creating sexualised images of children on X, (but not BlueSky.)

What X is allowing Grok to do is unlawful or regulatory-illegal in multiple jurisdictions, creates clear DSA violations, and continues despite regulator scrutiny. The images do not need to be pornographic, non-consensual sexualised or intimate depictions are enough.

His #poetry is so powerful. Every #poem packs a real punch. www.instagram.com/reel/DTIS_YO...

Have been listening to a number of episodes of the Diary of a CEO focusing on AI (others episodes included experts Yoshua Bengio & Stuart Russell as guests) Listened to this earlier & i'm genuinely scared for the world. open.spotify.com/episode/1S8F...

The context here is that the US Govt has taken an adversarial position to the work of the ICC and has issued orders such that Microsoft, as a US company, has hampered the ICC’s access to their software. By the same logic, every state body outside the US should now do the same.

Managed to knot all my lights when taking down my tree this morn 🫠 poor December 2026 me.

This is scandalous and, it should be declared a national emergency because it is an emergency #Spéirgorm #Spéirghorm #HousingCrisis #Homelessness

Happy Christmas everyone 😊

Was just googling whether Christmas tree lights use much electricity and then went down a rabbit hole reading about Christmas tree lights ... completely forgot how hot the old incandescent bulbs used to get ... they looked so nice tho but on the upside LEDs are apparently less of a fire hazard.

This is an amazing book, so beautiful @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social 🌊

#GazaGenocide #Palestine #FreePalestine

And the world just accepts there is a so called "ceasefire" and moves on. What has happened to humanity?!

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg was arrested by UK police under the Terrorism Act at the Prisoners for Palestine lock-on protest outside the offices of Aspen Insurance in London, which insures the Israeli weapons firm Elbit Systems.

Letting hunger strikers die, arresting Greta Thunberg — this is not incompetence or even indifference. The UK state is deliberately making examples of people to ramp up the crushing of basic civil liberties and silence opposition to genocide

Greta Thunberg is such a brave person. Such integrity.

This is so lovely, the cafe next to where I live does this too. #Spéirgorm

Lol 😂 me too #Spéirgorm

I was thinking of joining a choir in 2026, was googling choirs in Cork city found one thats a women only choir that sing pop songs it actually sounds right up my alley. Their minimum requirement is that you can sing in tune, gonna have to sing for one of my friends I think cause how do you know?! 😂

White men are 30% of the population. They are also: - 98% of presidents - 90% of CEOs - 90% of billionaires - 80% of Congress Forever oppressed.

I wonder if I can change two wishes or is it too late? lol 😂 #13WishesWinterSolstice #WinterSolstice

I started that 13 wishes of winter solstice thing yest, I know it's prob a nonsensy thing but I would give anything a go if I thought it would make some of my wishes come true at this stage 😂 you are supposed to write your wishes in the present tense so I put I am healthy on one lol 😂

Why?!!! 😂😭 why do I always get the flu or have accidents/asthma attacks at Christmas. I had d flu, covid, & pneumoccal vaccines this year (I know they don't offer 100% protection). My immunity is so poor beginning to think I should just hibernate 4 winter & just never leave my apartment lol😭🥺😂

Is it ever going to stop raining? 😭 #Spéirgorm
