Given what an amazing job the billionaire tech bros have done to bring democracy, peace and equality to the US, I for one am grateful to read 5 pages of their advice in my newspaper on how to better run Ireland.
Really.

Maria Steen: Historic spoilt vote vindicates everything I said about our disconnected political class Frustrated, furious and disenfranchised electorate made their feelings known at the ballot box

By failing to even get nominated for the Presidency while another independent candidate scored a record victory, I have of course been proven right

AI-generated content is flooding the internet, and we're entering a new era of information overload. Watch our latest video to find out how AI slop affects the internet and why kurzgesagt videos will always remain human-made: https://kgs.link/AISlop

That's the dream for next year 🙏 I think I have it in me, but would take some lifestyle sacrifice. Have you much time for running yourself these days?

Moved in with some friends recently and first time having Comedy Central which has just started showing it. Such late 90s nostalgia! Also love seeing all the characters who had Scrubs cameos.

Flight delayed an hour and then had an emergency landing in Milan. They've had to be send over a plane from Dublin to pick us up #classic

My default mode when travelling anywhere, so it's refreshing to have bucked the trend with a sober week in Tirana and Rome. A non-scaldy flight home awaits!
