Cannot fathom the acres of thinkpieces about the supposed Musk/O'Leary rivalry. Folks, it's two lads having a slagging match on a website. Both are delighted with the notoriety and, when this stops getting limelight in another day or two, neither will enter the consciousness of the other ever again

I wonder how long it will take the media to catch on to the fact that ICE’s recruiting spree has effectively deputized every white supremacist hate group out there.

Rather than the older retaliation packages Europe could also just put a 10% tariff on US imports or go straight to taxes on US services to react more strongly.
Then prepare escalation steps.
Europe has little choice but to hit back really hard since Trumps Greenland demand cannot be negotiated.

Woah Nellie, Trump rekindles the trade war with Europe over Greenland.
The President announces 10% tariffs on France, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK (yes), Denmark and the rest of Scandinavia.
The tariffs will rise to 25% on June 1st unless Greenland is sold to the US.

3 hours ago, The Taoiseach posted photos on X of school children from a visit he made to Gorey.
How is that not a severe safeguarding issue, given what can be done with any photo on X now?

The Taoiseach can't decide if the gov should stop posting pictures on X which can be turned into CSAM or other illegal content by anyone.
And what other issues on other platforms are as illegal as being a CSAM generator?
Well done Richard for being the voice of the sane here.

He did say Apple & Google should remove it from app stores.
He also said the Govt wouldn’t give “kneejerk” response by immediately coming off X, saying other platforms have issues too.
I interjected to say those other platforms don’t generate CSAM.
He accepts that but said other issues exist.

Tough ol' time for art sales of late and I depend solely on it for a living, so if you like anything I do, I'd appreciate if you'd keep me in mind when buying gifts for friends or family. If you hate what I do, I'd appreciate if you'd keep me in mind when buying gifts for enemies or nemeses.
If, like me, you did NOT get the ONE thing you wanted from Santy (a 95-year-old bachelor farmer with plenty land and a bad cough), treat yourself to a print from an Irish doodler instead - big discounts across the shop, including on bundles, so go on. Go on go on go ON.

When €200k isn't enough...
This is interesting timing, as the government weighs up increased pay at semi-states:
@businesspost.bsky.social reveals that Mari Hurley, who only became RTÉ’s CFO two years ago (€200k + allowances), is leaving for Ires REIT (CFO’s package: €640k in 2023).

At a meeting with oil industry CEO’s Trump suddenly interrupts his introductory remarks, gets up and looks out the window and starts talking about his ballroom. Trump then realizes his mistake and says “unusual time to look”, and sits back down to continue.

Don't think I've spoken to a single artist who didn't struggle this Christmas, and I spoke to a lot, so even if it's not my work I'd really encourage people to try to support a local artist that you like instead of big corporations - every single sale makes a real, tangible difference to their life.
