"birth rates are declining" don't care I already got born

A country nobody has declared war on.

Once again we see the upper limit of our politicians' imagination is copying stupid failed policies from the UK. It's humiliating

I wasn't initially convinced by the first episode of Widow's Bay but I'm stuck into it now! Really looking forward to the next ep

yes tell me more—academy award winning filmmakers and actors who are nearing the ends of their careers who have millions of dollars in the bank and who clearly don't care that their art was stolen and are now being paid by AI companies—about how AI is "inevitable" and "artists need to work with it"

This motherfucker greenlit the concept of a rotating Taoiseach! He is SPECIFICALLY the reason we have had 6 Taoisigh since 2017 #spéirgorm

Suing an accuser for breaking an NDA: 1) is a tacit admission of guilt 2) a terrible PR move 3) makes complete sense if you're trying to deter your other victims from coming forward

So I guess the San Diego Zoo posted the whole Pet Sounds album on their channel, set to thematically appropriate footage of their animals just chillin

Dune Cat Budget Version

Alien: And how did you run out of water? Earthling: Machines drank it. Alien: Machines. Earthling: We had to feed machines the water. Aliens: So the machines were holding your planet hostage for water. Earthling: No, we made the thirsty machines. They worked for us. Alien: End communication.

There isn’t much left to say except that your children will be less well-rounded than you. Less well-read than you. Less intelligent than you. Less able to problem solve than you. Leas worldly than you. Less empathetic. Less equipped. And more helpless. For the first time in living history.

Let's hope they don't see a 101st. A pox on Ireland, every one of them.

The WHO should declare climate change “a public health emergency of international concern", according to the independent pan-European commission on climate and health.

Tech companies steal information to train AI and then steal water to run AI. There is no "ethical AI"... #NihilismAndTechnology

Turns out the quickest way to change consumer behavior when it comes to fossil fuels and meat consumption is the same.

Seth Rogen calls out people who post AI slop: “Every time I see a video that's like ‘Hollywood is cooked!’ What follows is like the most stupid dogshit I’ve ever seen in my life.” (Source: BrutMedia)

People voted for this man. In THIS COUNTRY. Anyone who somehow thinks we're immune to the far right contagion in Ireland need to remove their heads out of their ass pretty sharpish. Legitimate concerns my hoop.

This headline confused the shit out of me until I realised it was a Dutch website.

Predator Neil Gaiman trying to make a soft comeback on social media to boost his book sales by appealing to the fans who are desperate for him to be innocent. Don't give him an inch. He's trying to be a clever, sneaky bastard. Show him we don't forget.

New rule. We don't get to use buildings as a measure of progress on homelessness. We already have more derelict/vacant buildings and empty short term lets than homeless people. The only acceptable metric for progress on homelessness is a reduction in homelessness figures #spéirgorm

I was present for the birth of the web, the explosion of personal sites, and the blogging revolution, and you know what we never had to do? Beg people to use our shit.

Fascists want to make communities feel small, afraid and helpless. They want people to be swept up in a vortex of what they portray to be the dominant narrative. London, you smashed it. Via the Guardian. ‘Organisers of the Nakba Day rally estimated at least a quarter of a million people .. [1/3]

I bet it's all over the news. Yet that time when 200,000 people went on that trans march in London there was silence in UK media, though the record size was picked up by German tv. UK media isn't free at all. It broken.

I have no idea when in the day this was taken. It might have got busier at another time. But on the basis of this, I have been on stage in front of larger audiences than this.

So the kitty I had my eye on seems to have been adopted (happy for him, but tbh a little sad for me). The nspca will do a virtual home-check with me on Tuesday and hopefully when I finally visit next weekend I can bring someone else home 🥺

Apropos of nothing: Lupita Nyong'o is one of The Most Absolutely Beautiful women I've ever laid my eyes on

Missing Indigenous Person Alert Renton, WA #MIPA And to the NON Native guy who felt he needed to “correct” my other MIPA post, THIS IS WHY WA STATE USES MIPA Indigenous women, girls, 2Spirit people are at higher risk of being murdered & going missing, but Indigenous men/boys ALSO go missing.

Last weekend I attended The Bealtaine Fire Festival, which marks the Celtic beginning of Summer. The festival takes place at the Hill of Uisneach, Co. Westmeath, which is dubbed the sacred centre of Ireland. The Bealtaine Fire Festival dates back to the time of the High Kings of Ireland.
