We should repeal it, but we can also get the government to legislate for birthright citizenship - problem is, none of them will touch it with a barge pole & it isn’t a big issue for most people by a long way. It should never have gone to referendum.

Can someone give me the definition of delusional, please?

Disappointing to see new car parks installed next to Met Éireann weather station at Shannon Airport. The station is now surrounded by tarmac car parks which is likely to influence the temperature in that area. Time to relocate station to a more open area surely?

Dear #mathsky, if you repost this, it will let people see the article for free. Thanks! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Just discovered Acts of Violence by @ryandavidjahn.bsky.social thanks to @ravencrime.bsky.social and now will have to purchase all his books. Brilliant. Delighted to discover that Apple is making a movie of one of his books. I will read it anyway.

"If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth" - Joseph Goebbels AI literally equates repetition with truth. Can people not see how incredibly dangerous this is?

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

My grandson just this book by @gregjenner.bsky.social and is begging his parents to let him stay up and keep reading it. A huge success. He is five.

It is 2am and it is all the fault of @callummcsorley.bsky.social because I can’t put down Paperboy!

The broligarchs’ high-minded excuses for supporting Trump have collapsed. All they have left is “grubby self-interest”.

It is way beyond time the European Council finds a way to throw Hungary out of the EU. It is in serious AND persistent breach of its obligations under Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union. Orban pillages EU funds while thrashing our values. Enough! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Btw, bsky is different from twitter, repost rather than like it. the like is a private information to the author, but not more. on bsky only repost increases visibility.

Thank you @tomdoorley.bsky.social for your recommendation of the Montepulciano last Sunday. It was truly a beautiful wine. The best if its kind I have tasted.

Trump and Rubio want to send this Russian Harvard academic to his death in Putin's prisons.

The EU should completely ban X. It is not a social media platform but an mechanism to bring down democracies. www.politico.eu/article/musk...

Irish businesses will struggle to compete with Amazon ie, both online and in the high street. Shop direct with your Irish retailers, who already exist. Support local, not the billionaires.

Repost & like, if you stand with President Zelensky!

Sinn Fein is back to its default position: trying to deny the Irish Parliament’s ability to take decisions about Irish foreign policy. No other neutral state offshores its foreign policy to the US, China and Russia. But Sinn Fein is convinced it is the right thing for Ireland. Completely baffling.

If you don’t already like Zelenskyy enough: He said "fuck you bitch (suka, blyat)" to JD Vance during their argument.

A study in Nature suggests that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) may be able to withstand future global warming and could avoid collapse. This important ocean current has a role in regulating temperatures around the planet. https://go.nature.com/4blFMKA 🧪

More SF brooding - If a hostile alien species had sent a crash team to Earth to leverage the extinction of human civilisation, reckon they'd lay off whatever embryonic plans they already had, and instead be following Trump around taking notes, mouths (or whatever) gaping open in worshipful awe.

If you sit and watch while others fight and die, you'll just have to do the fighting and dying on your lonesome later in the day. Turning up late to an existential conflict is never a great idea.

finally an hhs that will listen to the measles' side of the story

This is a really good book and well worth your while purchasing. Visits some of the remote spots of History and is guaranteed to amuse and exucate you.

Facebook is ushering in “a world without facts” says Nobel winner. She’s right: Zuckerberg and Musk care only about profit and power, and they are acting as haindmaidens of authoritarian regimes. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Tomorrow Elon Musk will further seek to destabilise European politics by rigging the algorithms to provide a huge boost to the leader of Germany's modern fascist party in advance of Germany's federal election. The EU simply has to take emergency action to exclude X. www.politico.eu/article/elon...

The @carlowweather.bsky.social warns we will always suffer the worst of floods in Ireland because of the State’s inability to operate a national early warning flood system. www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41...
