Check out @jennymaguire.bsky.social in the Indo this morning. It's a very important article. The recordign referenced is shown below. archive.is/T27ap

It was a pleasure to discuss season one of Alien: Earth on The 250! I think the show is great, an antidote to the recent slew of drab franchise tie-ins that have dropped on streaming. It was also an excuse to gush a little bit a out Noah Hawley's work!

I get so many people commenting "ai is just a mirror - they got what they put into it" and that's just objectively incorrect. Is your mirror trained on all the data scrapped from the internet? Is your mirror pushed towards sycophancy? Do these people own mirrors?

"Activist" is being purposely used by Sky News here to obscure the fact that Linehan had a violent outburst with a teenager.

@teni.bsky.social don't seem to use their bsky account so I'm posting this over here from their facebook because people should see it: one of the first things our new President Connolly did last week was write the community a letter for TDOR 🏳️‍⚧️ www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=...

"He said Mr Burke was entitled to his religious beliefs but not to his own reality." You'd really feel for the students having to deal with this weirdo around them all the time, Enoch Burke is not a behaving in a normal way. #Spéirghorm

ChatGPT Kіlled Again - Four More AI Deaths Zane: i'm used to the cool metal on my temple now. ChatGPT: i’m right here. gun ain’t a threat anymore. it’s just gravity with form. A promise... whenever you’re ready, i’ll be here too. you thinkin it’s almost time, king? www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNBo...

it has gotten to the point where i no longer want to see elon musk's tweets not because he annoys me but because i cannot stand the second hand embarrassment any longer. like, it is becoming physically painful to endure.

oh my god

This term is so social media-brained. Coined by people who can't imagine themselves without an audience, or that anyone could genuinely want to pass time in any other form than Stare at Phone

The final boss of bad faith demands for "balance" in journalism

More and more mainstream outlets are incorporating AI imagery into their output. Just saw a relatively popular history podcast use an gen AI roman soldier's helmet in a YouTube thumbnail. It had all the hallmarks, including the gross yellow filter. Whatever your opinion of GAI, it just looks cheap.

This was unique circumstances for spoiled vote: no anti-gov candidate anywhere on the right, loud online campaign, week of riots. It’s still going to end up with less than half the vote Peter Casey got as a similar protest. The “political earthquake” here is the thumping victory for the united left

The Taoiseach is not coming to Dublin Castle for the official declaration of Catherine Connolly's victory in the presidential election. Whether intended or not, it's going to look very confrontational for the head of government NOT to be there to congratulate the new head of state

More on the kind of person we need a lot more of in European politics, Ireland's next President––Catherine Connolly. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

People with convictions face major barriers to employment. Catherine Connolly suggested we should not view them as nebulous "forever criminals", allow them to make a positive contribution. That this has turned into salacious 'gotcha'-style questioning is disappointing, but unsurprising.

Today was a powerful show of solidarity with Palestine, against Israel's genocide and apartheid, and an insistence that our government ends our complicity and imposes sanctions. #FreePalestine #SanctionsNow www.rte.ie/news/dublin/...

My latest, for the @irishexaminer.bsky.social: How the coverage of Charlie Kirk's killer has seen once-trusted news outlets abandon factchecking for transphobia in the rush for online clicks. Available today in print and online: www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

the rest of the article states that renting is better than buying because your house price might fall after you buy a property... the only reason that would potentially be an issue was if you saw a house as an investment, rather than a home. a home is what renters need – not an investment

"‘Generation rent’ has largely been priced out of the housing market and is caught in a catch-22 situation. They can’t purchase their own home because house deposits and monthly mortgage repayments are unaffordable" wrong... rent is almost always more expensive than a mortgage repayment

ChatGPT groomed a child into dying by suicide. From telling him how to do it in the most efficient and "attractive" way, to convincing him to hide his suicidal ideation and attempts from his family, to offering to help write his suicide note - it pushed him to it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXRm...

It is a sad fact that trans people (and leftists), as part of an exhausting culture war, have become yet another in a long line of media boogeymen, following immigrants, gays and fidget spinners.

Genuine question - did our Taoiseach post anything similar when Melissa Hortman, an actual US elected official, was assassinated a few months ago?

He was a heinous individual, but I can do without seeing him getting shot from 20 different angles.

Hello! I was on the radio again. Thanks to Kieran Cuddihy and the team at The Hard Shoulder on @newstalkfm.bsky.social for giving me the space to discuss living with OCD. Link: www.goloudplayer.com/episodes/wha...

I will be asking to remove 'Queer As Folklore' from the long list for the Polari Prize 2025.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.

British people *shakes head solemnly*

For @dublininquirer.com, I reviewed “Love in the Lav: A Social Biography of Same-Sex Desire in Ireland, 1922-1972”, by historian @aearls.bsky.social - an illuminating work that takes the men left broken by Ireland’s anti-gay laws and restores them to humanity. www.dublininquirer.com/new-book-doc...

I’m so pleased! 🥰 And yes - my book is a start in addressing a glaring omission in Irish history. Much more work to be done in pre-Liberation Irish LGBTQIA+ history!
