Séamas O'Reilly: I think anti-racists are right to be on high alert I’m less concerned with why Garron Noone said what he said, than with whether it’s true or not

This week I wrote about vigilance, and how I'm less interested in litigating whether Garron Noone is a racist, than in whether what he said was true or not. It wasn't. And people are right to be alarmed that he said it, and to wonder why he did.

Rhiannon Giddens singing a song associated with the civil rights movement as part of the "insane" "woke" Irish "musical" funded by USAID (actually a US embassy event). It's great. As written about by @hlinehan.bsky.social here: www.irishtimes.com/culture/stag... www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ8R...

The Gist: AI, a talking dog for the 21st Century. Séamas O'Reilly on the year's biggest con, AI. This is a Christmas Cracker Gist.

Séamas O'Reilly: The world is an objectively worse place because of tech-bro oligarchs As Zuckerberg pontificates about masculinity and traditional values, he does so in soundbites as lifeless as his former paeans to gender and racial equality
