“Business as usual” won’t build a world-class research sector: Green Party responds to Research Ireland’s newly launched strategy | Green Party

Ireland cannot outsource its future to FDI alone. Research Ireland’s long-anticipated strategy does not match the scale of the opportunity that exists in Ireland, nor the urgency, given the ongoing geopolitical disruption

Surely now would be a very good time to finally pass the Occupied Territories Bill. Or are we waiting for Israel to illegally occupy more territories?

Bar graph comparing emissions from Grok's fossil-fuelled data centres to avoided emissions from Tesla's products for the years 2023 and 2024.

Comparison of emissions from manufacturing xAI's chatbot responses (5,127,553 tonnes CO2e) versus all Tesla products (1,056,000 tonnes CO2e) with respective analyses.

*New short blog* - finally (with help) got around to getting a total estimate of Grok's climate pollution 🫠

- Once all fossil gas online, = to between half and all of Tesla's ANNUAL GLOBAL avoided emissions

- Currently, 5x the emissions of Tesla's total manufacturing

But then I sigh, and, with a piece of scripture,
Tell them that God bids us do good for evil:
And thus I clothe my naked villainy
With odd old ends stol’n forth of holy writ,
And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.

It’s already the main topic on Liveline

The amount of events and festivals around the country using genAI for their promotional images is slightly maddening. All about supporting local, except their local artists.

Because many humans are essentially selfish, and are wilfully blind to the consequences of their actions

Thanks Eoghan

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

15 US military aircraft have left the Rota and Morón air bases after Spain refused to allow them to be used for operations related to Iran, Reuters reports.

… and to stop building those gas munching data centres, which means stop using data centre munching AI.

I repeat: “The status quo is utterly threatened by the Green surge.” Keep surging @zackpolanski.bsky.social and team Green. Hope, not hate.

@irishrainforest.bsky.social are there any plans for a showing in Cork city?

Ireland used to respect the UN Sec Gen. Now she pretends not to hear him.

Brendan O’Connor is too far right to be on Newstalk …

We've had a "housing emergency" declared since 2018.

Since then we've seen what genuine emergency responses look like — during the pandemic and during the Ukrainian refugee emergencies.

Normal laws were set aside, emergency measures were swept in. Emergency measures like we need now for housing.

That’s called being part of a community. Ireland is a small place. If this sort of thing is illegal, then the law is being broken all the time. It’s not illegal, it’s just life.

320,000 customers weren't able to pay their energy bills last year

When asked why households pay more for energy than data centres, Minister Chambers said our view wasn't supportive of economic growth.

When will Government put the needs of Irish citizens over the interests of big businesses?

I’ve upset a few people! You can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs.

The status quo is utterly threatened by the green surge

I wish it were true that "no one is above the law". But while the City of London acts as laundromat for the world's dirty money, as almost all fraud and waste crime go unprosecuted, as no one has gone to jail for the financial crash or the poisoning of our rivers, this is manifestly untrue.

Give us a synopsis when you’re done please! 😜

I was at a party and few years ago when this discussion came up. The only opponents of UBI in the room were the people who said they themselves would "abuse" it.
They assumed the rest of us are as lazy as they are so they'd prefer that nobody has it. It's nonsense.

Blackpool residents fear of flood risk after culled trees left along riverbank Tonnes of timber 'ready to flow down the river'

Who did this? If not the ESB, who? Even if the Blackpool flood scheme were in place these trees would likely be swept up against the new proposed trash screen in the Blackpool Retail Park. This area is also a ‘Landscape Preservation Zone’ NE3 #cork www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster...

Shannon, Ireland for RnR. It is hard work deporting people in chains, some to countries they have never set foot in. But it has its rewards.

Ireland's government is terrified to stop this trade.
