also it's very telling he didn't talk to his wife about this, he just let AI blow away her files. guys like this see AI's personhood before they see women's personhood

I'm not saying that's what's happening here, but man.

I'm radicalizing pretty quickly towards the opinion that llms are a cognitohazard. And Twitter definitely is.

My son was wearing Hi Viz and reflecting gear and a helmet with an embedded LED when an Islington Council van rolled through a mandatory cycle-crossing and hit him while the driver was looking at his phone. He tried to persuade me not to phone 999 in case he lost his job. I was surprisingly unmoved.

Enforce the rules of the road and abolish car insurance. A strong welfare state is the only payout anybody needs.

And itโ€™s so awful that post liberalism has emerged.

Steen is straight out of the post liberal playbook of undermining the legitimacy of Irelandโ€™s liberal democracy at every opportunity.

What is the genuine role when the presidential commission could do the same?

Only those who can endure the death threats, smear campaigns and purity testing are whatโ€™s left in modern politics.

Sorry there are no made for tv west wing debate moments from these inarticulate oddballs as they run for an office with virtually no power and little influence.

There is no role for the president that is worth a tv debate. Itโ€™s a national vibe check that should probably be abolished.

If it is actual peace keeping under the conditions of the triple lock then maybe.

Right now the greatest threat to security and democracy in Ireland is the discontent from the lack of housing. Sending young mostly working class lads to a warzone instead of solving problems here isnโ€™t the best look

Not sure what youโ€™re not getting here. Weโ€™re failing animatronics in a theme park. Now tip your hat and mumble some nonsense as they fiddle with a Airbnb lock.

He had plenty of time for Steen during the referendum. Itโ€™s suspect that itโ€™s not some aging senators who have little to lose, but TDs in nascent parties endorsing her.

It would feel safer if she was in the race, got her three percent. How would Rte darling Peadar explain that?

7 years ago there was a march to #RaisetheRoof to force government to tackle the rising homeless numbers.

We need that momentum again.

I know what I really want the minister for health thinking about is our army and where it is deployed. That seems like a salient area of concern right now.

Itโ€™s weird also how people on the other side of politics also very frequently complain how people get free legal aid at all.

I see it on Reddit more often than not so likely astroturfing. Scary stuff.

Folks it doesn't get much better than Ursula von der Leyen telling a pro-Palestine protester
"in Russia you'd be arrested" while he's being arrested.

All that English online verification chaos is coming here too, so this is probably a good time to pester avnd annoy your local TD/minister/write to CnaM explaining in slow words why they're making a huge mistake...

There are serious (professional sociopaths?) journalists, economists, lobbyists and Larry Donnelly types discussing the impact the Occupied Territories Bill might have on Tax Haven Irelandโ€™s GDP, while children in Gaza are starving to death. They are the media darling grownups.๐Ÿคฎ

We are an aging population where many who have worked in construction moved to tech and services too.

Or notions that we will pull people who were in their prime 10-20 years ago from Australia and Canada to abandon the lives theyโ€™ve built there to sleep in hostels or mobile homes here.

Vincent Browne says 'prospect' of Mairead McGuinness becoming President 'is appalling' Vincent Browne has said the idea of Mairead McGuinness becoming the next President of Ireland is 'appalling' and the Louth native 'has to be stopped.'

Never forget she voted against a moition to provide resources to save migrant lives in the Mediterranean - for that alone she should not be President #speirgorm extra.ie/2025/04/07/n...

I want to be very clear for our friends abroad. This action came about despite our government, not because them. The Irish people have piled pressure on them to act until they did the bare minimum. They resisted every step of the way and still do. The government deserve no credit for this.
