During an interview on local radio, I explained "groyper" to lisreners. The station did not share that morning's segment on Soundcloud, perhaps because of the sensitivity of my perspectuve. Now part of America is Full Groyper. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/o...

There are a lot of those magnets that Trump rambles on about in the South China Sea. Lots are on China’s new aircraft supercarrier. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

American immigration to Ireland has doubled during the past 12 months. It surprises me to know how a postgrad degree for an American student often costs less in Ireland than in the States. youtu.be/QI2Rj5YFT1Y?...

newsthump.com/2025/11/12/j... A spokesperson for the “other Donald Trump”, an actual plumber from Newark, issued a brief statement: “Please stop calling me. My phone’s been ringing all morning and my wife thinks I’ve got a secret island. “I just fix toilets.”

Getting a look at #ICERI2025 through a third screen.

Part of our hands-on workshop "authentic storytelling in the era of AI" involved setting up bags of prizes for colour-coded teams who completed quizzes and tasks fastest. I brought the Irish items and @kolebri.bsky.social brought the Dutch items. #ICERI2025 iated.org/concrete3/se...

If you need another reason why Fast Food Fiend Trump is getting more than one annual medical exam, consider his lust for carbonated drink. Here is what happens to your body after you drink a can of Coke: www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/090a7bc...

So glad to have discovered Peter Gabriel just as I finished college. Timeless lyrics in much of his music. The video compilation of Solesbury Hill Live is class. music.youtube.com/watch?v=WeYq... #soundtrackofmylife

Traveling on Irish Rail with Beren, Karen, and 22 others in my carriage.

You shoukd read @adrianweckler.bsky.social in the Irish Independent today and then dive into Jimmy Wales' Seven Rules of Trust. amzn.eu/d/edISLTz

I was part of an INF inspection team so the use of Novator 9M729 missiles resonates with me. It is the Russian weapon that could turn Trump against Putin. www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/f7b7397...

Wondering if @nevillehobson.xyz has an Aga. I can’t afford to turn on my Aga this winter www.telegraph.co.uk/family/life/...

@dermotcasey.bsky.social perhaps it is time to invite The Gist to The Open since @tupped.bsky.social is running on empty. Tell him it is where Art meets Tech where no attention seekers dare sit.

@tupped.bsky.social point me to why I should not ask Gemini "what is the gist of this [insert slop term]?

I hope one of the Supremes LOLs when hearing orals about Trumpy Tariffs. Presidential power and the Supreme Court’s own stature ride on this case www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

I have an app that shows hiw much it costs in electricity to download, edit, and upload three hours of training videos. That is the big white spike in the power usage below. #runeuai

20% of our #empower25 crew--and the judging panel--have ADHD and now there's a proposed App For That!

I need to teach young people how to create text that is at least 28 points in size.

Tapentadol is my first opiod. It's like oxycodene or morphine. Each tablet costs me nearly €30. They are good for treating the severe pain I have in my leg.

I chat with computers by voice and that seems normal. I know it is a computer because computers call me by my formal name.

@educatefran.bsky.social this is formal notice that part of your back story is "save the cat! Writes Lecture Notes".

@kolebri.bsky.social I have a sharp pain in my left thigh as I read about saving the cat with Rites of Passage. Perhaps it is the pain of #iceri2025 prep

Adam Serwer writes "Caked in foundation, manly Fox News hosts have gushed that Trump tariffs, by supposedly making it possible for Americans to go back to work in mines and factories, could be the 'ultimate testosterone boost.' No more desk jobs!" www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Buying Irish butter is a prime food experience for me.

I chose a work desk that has bubbling water in the background. And easy power for the iMini.
