We had a beautiful red squirrel to look at anytime we went to perfidious Dublin. Then all that perfidy happened. €10m, the State has paid, for more egg chase, with more Yanks and more rules. Meanwhile, the GAA continues to neglect our lesser games and ignore our martial arts. #spéirghorm #ireland

The government is reducing service standards and Canada Post’s biggest advantage: its nationwide network. This plan is about cutting back the postal service instead of investing to give it new revenue tools through things like postal banking. It’s shameful.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

"The danger is that the field is too narrow to facilitate the kind of future-focused conversation that any country, including Ireland, needs at such a time." A. The UK head of state is a monarchy B. They already listed all those who didn't get nominations, who were either nutters or melts.

A very big Onion announcement: The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece. It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile. It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd. Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

To read the university’s triumphant all-campus email about restored NIH funding, you’d think UC administrators made it happen. But that’s not true. In fact the UC *Faculty Association* organized the lawsuit; administrators kept their heads down and hoped it’d go away.

Funny how the respite from this exploitation would kick in just before an election.

Forget everything you already know about America's most notorious dead person. Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile is in select theaters October 2.

Oh, and while so many of you are here, please consider donating to my friend Olfat, who is really, really struggeling right now. She urgently needs her heart medication. Thank you 🫶 gofund.me/935d60f15

I rarely defend Americans, but we shouldn't forget that American GenZ started the student protests in 2023, were beaten to a pulp by police, got thrown out of school, lost scholarships, had their degrees revoked, etc. An Egyptian friend of mine joked "those kids were Arab Springed" Funny but true.

this is gonna turn out to be like when your principal cancels all the classes bc he's just discovered the most amazing motivational speaker. calling it

LA Times: "Had the foreign press been permitted to enter the war zone, journalists would have seen and heard what Palestinian journalists have been reporting all along." One day everyone will know. Please give to my friend Tasneem so she can feed her family. And to others. 💗 tinyurl.com/Tasneemo

Anyone need a dog? Yes, I said need. People need pets.

“The politics of The Handmaid’s Tale are no longer creeping in at the edges, they are here with us. You blend the controlling beliefs of right-wing conservatism with the legislative agenda of an authoritarian government. Bingo.”

A Gazan doctor evacuated to Ireland says Gaza has been “destroyed socially and psychologically”. Dr Mohammed Abu Mughaisib is the former Deputy Medical Co-ordinator for Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in Gaza. www.independent.ie/irish-news/i... #spéirghorm

🦢I just came back from a nice morning fun with friends, we hunted down a swan and tore it apart with our bare hands, bathing in its innards and screaming hymns to the Old Gods. That's what we do at the savage frontier. Please come visit.

In LA - Beyond Fest is going on right now. Most shows notoriously sell out quickly. But at the Los Feliz Theater every night there are very cool FREE SCREENINGS that are RSVP first-come seating. I'll be hosting THE PYTHON HUNT on Monday 29th. But you should check out what else is playing too!

To understand Steen's demographic, you have to realize there are people who think a working-class blue-haired barista on minimum wage is the Establishment, while upper-middle-class professional Catholics of multi-generational wealth are the oppressed disenfranchised politically homeless.

She looks like the actress playing the woman who lead a campaign to ban jazz in the 1930s. #speirgorm #Aras25

"As I was preparing the bedding for my children, I heard a great commotion outside the tent. Families in the neighborhood were running and trying to hide from Israeli quadcopter drones, which were firing randomly at everything that moved." www.dropsitenews.com/p/gaza-city-...

O Saskatchewan! Israel is an apartheid state committing genocide & ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Ambassador Moed denies this & denies his government deliberately starves Palestinians. Instead of rolling out the red carpet for Israel, Saskatchewan should treat it like South Africa was in the 1980s.

This is the story of Syrian Druze farmers in the occupied Golan Heights who are resisting an Israeli energy company's plan to build wind turbines on their land. Watch the full documentary here: aje.io/Golan

I really tried to avoid this, but I'm in need of help. I'm a year and a half out of full time work, and my retail gig alone can't keep me afloat. My October expenses are going to be much higher than normal. I'm offering sketch comms over on my ko-fi for donations. thank you ko-fi.com/hanoodles

Bird–glass collisions are a leading human-related cause of bird deaths today. Millions of birds are injured or killed yearly after hitting windows, especially during migration.

“This campaign was electrifying. It was a lightning rod of hope.” British Columbia Green Party members have chosen Emily Lowan, a climate activist and former student politician who turned 25 last week, as their next leader. #bcpoli

Ireland would, but the guy who drives the boat is off on holidays until the end of the month.

My latest column for the Chronicle of Higher Ed is now live. It's an argument for including AI-critical voices in campus conversations and policymaking workgroups, and I'm proud to get this dissenting piece into the mainstream genAI/higher ed discourse. Please read and share if you're so inclined 🙂

Our friend, poet and activist Sarah Clancy, is on the Spectre, one of the boats on the Flotilla which was attacked last night. Contact the Taoiseach and Tánaiste to demand protection, there must be safe passage for all trying to break apartheid Israel's illegal siege of Gaza. #LiftTheSiege

From butter wouldn’t melt in their mouth to a bulldog chewing a wasp

I get the feeling the AI task force will all be AI boosters whose own brains have been thoroughly cooked by using it rather than people who say things like "the best current use case of this technology is scams, maybe we should do something about that."

People have been able to get nominated in previous elections, those tended to have a record of doing something in the community or are known. So the process works. It just doesn't work if you're an extremist or have no record of doing anything positive for the community. #aras25

the booker prize judges make a lot of fuss about having to read 153 books. but assuming an average weight of 750g per book, that comes in at 115kg of literature - or just under the weight of a single adult male ostrich

The most cutting thing you could say to Peter Thiel is that René Girard would have a stroke laughing at his writing.

Ok. Since we’re talking about handbags, wanna see *my* most prized bag? Course you do! It was a gift from two very kind and generous friends who shall remain nameless (oh ok, ok, it was Graham Norton and his lovely fella) and its a sequinned Valentino bag they got FROM THE ESTATE OF DONNA SUMMER ❤️
