I've been laid off... and I've pretty much crouched over my laptop since I was told. So I'm trying to do something nice for me! Today I cycled the Limerick Greenway and I just love the name of this place, An SceachΓ‘nach! #RedundancyWellness #Speirghorm

If you have an issue with Ireland being represented by someone called Edogbo, Izuchukwu, Adeleke, Idah, Akinola, Omobamidele you can absolutely get fucked.

This is modern Ireland. And it's class.

Government bodies need to get off X, now Nobody in Ireland should be exposed to hate speech, bullying, or child sexual abuse images on X just to find out if their train is delayed, writes Clare O'Donoghue Velikic

Nice piece in the @irishexaminer.bsky.social here. Time for public bodies to stop supporting a social media company that facilitates production of CSAM and hate. #SpeirGorm

A pair of St. Brigid's crosses on a countertop, next to a mug. #SpΓ©irGorm #SpΓ©irGhorm #Ireland

For the uninitiated, these are Irish Throwing Stars, an ancient weapon wielded by St. Brigid during the 1916 Rising, striking fear into the hearts of the British, and responsible for the eventual smiting of both Cromwell and Thatcher.

AI companies will fail. We can salvage something from the wreckage | Cory Doctorow AI is asbestos in the walls of our tech society, stuffed there by monopolists run amok. A serious fight against it must strike at its roots

Some AI tools can do useful things; β€œit’s the bubble that sucks,” Cory Doctorow writes. "The bubble doesn’t want cheap useful things. It wants expensive, β€˜disruptive’ things." So what might be gained and lost when it bursts? www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Primary school enrolment falls by 6,500 in past year Primary school enrolment has fallen by almost 6,500 over the past year.

"Eleven primary schools have closed permanently since last June due to low enrolment making them unviable" Yet apparently there's a CRISIS of immigration numbers and we need to make refugees wait three years and show self-sufficiency to be joined by their children here 🀯

Think tis fair to say that sending 9 ministers to the States on a day celebrating an immigrant, and having our Taoiseach presenting a bowl of shamrocks to a rapist fascist dictator is just a bit fucking much now.

The article deserves a better headline, shame on you @irishtimes.com but is Keith Duggan even on BlueSky? Surely he would be disappointed with the headline.
