Big fan of your Outer Limits episodes. Are there any plans to publish the scripts in the future? Would love to read Trial By Fire, A Quality Of Mercy and The Light Brigade, etc.

The larger context of the NoTW (and later NBC) reporting on beatings in Irish schools is that so many stories like this in Ireland had to break in international media first. The treatment of women in Magdalene Laundries was brought to public attention by BBC Scotland.

My gran was everything to me. She raised me, guided me, and taught me to love books. Sheβs why I became a writer. Iβm working on a novel inspired by her life. The first part will tell of her time as a teenage girl inside Irelandβs monstrous Magdalene Laundries

We don't need a 'Democratic Stephen Miller.' We need Democrats who will unapologetically fight for our values. We don't need a 'Joe Rogan of the Left.' We need a progressive media ecosystem that will unapologetically fight for our values. We don't need their playbook. We need to believe in us.

I mean, what are we supposed to do here? Are we to queue up to vote for people who hate us, keep telling us they think we are scum, operate decade-long media campaigns terrorising the public against us and has now set the police on us as *fucking terrorists* for opposing their horrific policies?

If someone claims to have been a former Labour voter and are going to vote Reform: legitimate concerns. Must be listened to. Labour must Get More Racist. If someone was actually in the party and was told to leave for having morals: Your concerns are pathetic. Vote for Labour while we insult you.

This framing is so interesting to me because Labour literally called me a "flea" that they were happy to "shake off" despite the fact that I was very involved in the party. But I am apparently still supposed to vote for them even after they told me not to do so. Is my vote important or not?

Starmer was brought in to get rid of the left by any means necessary and if that means supporting the genocide of the people of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, then that is just too bad: the lads have their important jobs back, and that is the only thing that matters.

THIS. Every time I log into $service, I'm presented with the "opportunity!" to use their related LLM. I'm in the path for services at my company and there's a lot of LLMs being forced into our agreements and, later, increases in pricing due to the LLMs that we didn't ask for.

The Irish version is if you burn down buildings that you suspected a migrant might have been near, well, the cops sadly don't have the training to do anything about it. If you're a grandmother protesting a genocide though, then By God, expect the full force of An Garda Siochana on your head

In the past month NYT has published 32 articles that mention Mamdani and βglobalize the intifada", 13 that mention Israel's fake "aid" agency that's killed 800+, 5 on Israel's starvation campaign and two that mention, in passing, child amputees in Gaza. I argue this is makes no sense and is depraved

Child Amputees, Aid Massacres, Mass Starvationβthe Israeli War Crimes NYT Covers Less than Mamdani and 'Globalize the Intifada'
Theoretical, third order, speculative violence must be condemned while actual, real world mass violence, that actually exists in reality, is seen as normal and unworthy of sustained coverage.

Whatβs the long narrative here, guys? Why did successive US governments keep voting the Israelis a squillion dollars in free weaponry, even as e.g. the West Bank filled up with hundreds of thousands of hardliners who believe the Palestinians who live there are subhumans. How was that meant to end?
