This rerouting makes the service less convenient for everyone who uses it. It no longer goes down Parnell St, O'Connell St, or Dame St - key destinations Where will the new bus stops be? The information provided about this service is hopeless for understanding how our commutes will change.

There have been similar questions asked in my neck of the woods. There have just been too many major incidents for there not to be something systemic.

Saw this, so true. Don’t be in the chapter about those who did nothing, or, even worse, those who actively supported a genocidal state. Be on the right side of history, fight to end the genocide in Gaza. #endthegenocide

We have been overwhelmed by the response to our CFP for the SI on Authoritarianism in the Digital Age with over 170 abstracts - although perhaps this is mostly a sad indictment on the state of the world. Thanks to all those who submitted such interesting and complex proposals. We will be in touch.
