On and off, I've been an active Wikipedian since about 2013. In 2015, I did
#100wikidays
, and again in 2018, which is a challenge to write a new article every day for 100 days. In 2020, I wrote a new article every day for 366 days.

I once sat with a group of well known journalists who complained that we don't have a proper left wing party in Ireland, and also that taxes are too high and unions are too powerful. We're not idiots. Reporters are.

FFS only last month my 80 year old uncle fell and broke his hip at home and he had to wait 4 and half hours for an ambulance. At one stage he was told it could be 6 to 8 hours, as more 'urgent' cases were being put ahead of him. FF/FG have refused to invest in the services we need.

Wild what you can get away with in articles about cycling. This is objectively false! A city with less driving and more biking is far safer for pedestrians. Hate cyclists all you want but that’s an empirical fact

Lovely to hear the bit of Gaeilge and Irish music on TV and radio during the Seachtain na Gaeilge/St. Patrick's Day run every year, and would also suggest to broadcasters that they can incorporate those things into their shows on all the other days of the year too, at any time, it's not even illegal

The sharks are innocent. Or at least, they’re not eating the internet. The myth is almost as old as the global internet itself. It begins with the development of TAT-8, the first subsea fiber optic cable to cross an ocean.

Say Goodbye to the Undersea Cable That Made the Global Internet Possible
History was unmade last year, as engineers began the massive project of ripping the first-ever transoceanic fiber-optic cable from the ocean floor. Just don’t mention sharks.

In our conservative estimate, 41 percent of Grok’s images — or 1.8 million — were sexualized depictions of women. Separately, CCDH analyzed how many were sexualized images across genders and ages. Their findings: an estimated 3 million images, including more than 23,000 of children.

You know how bananas are radioactive but only a tiny bit so it's fine to have a bunch of them lying around. But keeping, like, one billion bananas could fatally irradiate you. I propose we do this to money.

Sometimes we talk about how a certain 2020s talking point would baffle a normal person in the 1980s, like "all my apes gone" or "AOC Donkey Kong Livestream for Trans Rights". But I think THIS book would baffle a normal under 40 person today.
