can’t say what i want to happen to these people for legal reasons

he's counting on people not knowing what a doctor looks like because they don't have healthcare

A long read, but a fascinating exploration of why #History is complicated. It gets to the heart of the difficulties in establishing one of the most fundamental *facts* in #FamilyHistory, a date of birth. #Genealogy

Five days! #IrishGenealogy

The comments are outstanding. #SpeirGorm

If you’re a guy wondering what specific shit this is referencing, come on now. You know what it is. Get busy shutting them down.

The incredible success of the Artemis mission is just further evidence that we need to wrest Space travel away from ghouls like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos

In fifty years when people look back at the past decade or so, the big world-changing technological innovation won't be the chatbot slop machines, it'll be mRNA.

I took my dog to the vet yesterday and she expressed her gratitude at not having to convince me that my dog needs vaccines. "Make America Rabid Again is what they're going for." And if you think this is because I live in some ruby red area, nope. Massachusetts. Leafy suburban Boston Massachusetts.

"The judgment of God sent the calamity to teach the Irish a lesson. That calamity must not be too much mitigated. The greater evil with which we have to contend is not the physical evil of the famine, but the moral evil of the selfish, perverse and turbulent character of the Irish people" -Trevelyan

I couldn't love this story more.

I don't think we are talking enough about the astounding historical twist that one of the most powerful institutions standing up to defend liberal democracy around the world today is the Papacy

I'd like to be done with things I know from majoring in History becoming relevant.

“The news organization is becoming more focused on visual journalism” What a loss this is for future historians - both academics and family historians. #genealogy

Notice how they never cite a study or statistic that justifies AI use in the classroom. Why? Bc there is basically no evidence that AI improves student learning outcomes (and they know it). Politicians are putting corporate profit ahead of student needs—a corporate-backed science experiment on kids

I hate this with every fiber of my being. And having the students be the face/voice of it also is just so appalling when it's being pushed by corporate interests and when they don't even know what it is they're losing by having this foisted upon them.

I think the reason AI propagandists are so flustered by the fact that no real writer wants to use their idiotic tools is that they themselves don't enjoy writing. They see it as a boring arduous chore to be avoided, while real writers actually enjoy writing and actually care about the quality of it.

I enjoyed chatting to Andrew Koch for the Family Tree Magazine podcast last week. And it's up already! If you don't already know it, it's a great podcast. familytreemagazine.com/podcasts/mak...

I also have serious qualms about this project. An AI-created hallucination of my ancestors? No thanks! #Genealogy #FamilyHistory

It’s cool how he’s stating that his official government policy is ‘Fuck them kids’

It's April 2026. *April 2026* We are 16 days away from the promised land! #IrishGenealogy

i appear to have asked a question akin to "how do Rebel Alliance schoolteachers feel about Darth Vader?"

Which is why getting photos printed and in an album is on my list for this year. #genealogy #familyhistory

Pretty interesting story. Context: Ireland is small; the Republic has just over 5 million people; Dublin around 1.5M depending where you slice it. Point: 80% native born folks with many close, even intimate, connections who also love a good chat! Likely easier to develop consensus there than here.

Does it work properly? No. Are the people making it acting in good faith? No. Have they ensured it can't be used maliciously? No. Does it make people's lives better? No. Will it make people's lives better? No. Is it profitable? No. Is it popular? No. Is it harmless? No. The argument for AI.

Irish family historians, heads up, because this looks fantastic. #IrishGenealogy

A must for any genealogists and family historians looking to get more out their DNA matces. #Genealogy #familyhistory

This story is welcome relief from the general awfulness of everything.

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

Say bye and don't look back.

keep putting those flags up, BU folks!

I can think of someone I'll be glad to see dead.

Miracle incoming: Sickle Cell Disease is curable.

This can't be reiterated enough: Micheál Martin sought to cement Ireland’s status as an ally of a country that blew up a primary school full of children

Newspapers are an essential resource for family historians. Ugh. #genealogy #familyhistory

An amazing #familyhistory story. #genealogy www.bostonglobe.com/2026/03/18/m...

I know I've said this a trillion times but I have to say it periodically to keep from going insane: The right ran a huge, well-funded, & ultimately successful campaign to completely take over political media & the infosphere more generally. This is by far the most important political development...

The first LGBT float in a Patrick's Day parade anywhere in the world was in Cork in 1992. Happy queer Patrick's Day. @orlaegan1.bsky.social #SpéirGhorm #SpeirGorm

Baffling really.

If you’re wondering why everyone is so enthusiastically sharing this just click and read it. I promise you won’t regret it.

Worried about the global economy? These prints do not need to be sent through any Strait to get to you and are safe from any shipping shenanigans, AND you can burn them for fuel when all our oil runs out ✨

This is one of the funniest corrections I’ve ever read

This is a great tip. I tried it and found a post about Trump fundraising off of the dignified transfer of the remains of soldiers. I also found a post I missed from my brother.
