Sipping and chatting where I last saw @markomahony.bsky.social

Thinking about making an audio note.

"Some of you folks use AI to do nearly everything and you are srill as lazy as ever."

We have a black cat and a white cat. Guess which one is the outdoor cat who climbs into neighbours' kitchens and makes herself at home under newly-discovered duvets.

Catching up with one of my bright grads who has a side hustle making bots for hire. One of her bots is built directly into Windows desktop to transcribe audio from an open laptop mic or from an online meeting without requiring the bot to join the call. #alwayslistening

Black History Month Lecture at Harvard tonight: https://insideview.ie/2026/02/09/black-history-month-lecture-at.html It must drive the White House crazy to know that “I’ll Make Me A World: The 100-Year Journey of Black History Month” is on this afternoon in Harvard University.

@alastairmcdermott.bsky.social For your MD dashboard.

For my European friends: Trump regards pro and college football (the players and the proud fans) as "his part" of American culture. The Superbowl halftime show means Trump is losing the culture war. As well as the immigration war. And the affordability war. newrepublic.com/article/2062...

Hearing details of @firemanrich.bsky.social's social audio journey drop into my podcatcher. Intrigued by the small circle of audio bloggers who responded to @soulcruzer.bsky.social's initial prompt last week. Here's Rich: creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

@firemanrich.bsky.social Don Bongino needs to stop calling himself 'podfather' because AC owns that title in Wikipedia and beyond.

I lost seven of the Trump Faithful last week. Wishing for the return of true dialogue and bipartisanship.

Ireland's Law Society Centre for Justice and Law Reform documents that Ireland has a 43 per cent higher rate of recorded sexual violence – incidents reported to the gardaí and officially entered into the criminal justice system – than other EU countries.

I stopped stacking thoughts and never use the Substack app because I dont like helping Nazis get funding channels www.theguardian.com/media/2026/f...

Today I saw an expert 'engagement farmer'

History is saving Trump's racist social media posts, and his threats to NATO allies, and his demonizing of entire ethnic groups, and his vindictiveness towards female journos. Why is right wing media ignoring all this?

Showing some newbies how to quickly identify potential collaborators by how they write shareable content, framed by the AI profile that you have when you ask your virtual assistant. Yesterday the prize went to @nevillehobson.xyz

Lamenting damage done to my fav fast charger.

@mitchjoel.bsky.social why not share your weekly pod on Bluesky? Thinkers be here.

Ethan Mollick does Samuel Beckett

It is a holiday in Ireland and my cat is enforcing it.

@rothaiocht.bsky.social thinking of you as Radio Lab dropped this: pca.st/episode/6146... But I'm sure you're just fine

Americans need to exercise their First Amendment rights. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Until Code Switch talked abput it, I didn't understand why many of my American friends think crime is up: pca.st/episode/a7db...

Three types of Americans nowadays: https://insideview.ie/2026/01/30/three-types-of-americans-nowadays.html Lydia Polgreen in the New York Times asks people what kind of American they are. Accommodationist? Aggressor? Resistor?

From the 19th-century German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel: "The essence of our identity is not something we make on our own — it requires the recognition of others to be real. How we are perceived by others doesn’t just reflect who we are. It constitutes it."

There are too many loose ends in the Air India disaster that deserve to be deeply investigated for the safety of the flying public. Start with ‘systems failure’. www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/9ecf782...

You have to read the comments. I grew up in a home where encyclopedias were our lazy web.

I teach “AI for Personal Productivity” with the Irish Innovation Skillnet where we have hands-on exercises using Google Workspace. Cue discussions about privacy, security, and frameworks. I made a quick audio blog about how I got started.
