With heartfelt thanks to the team at Hachette Ireland, I can now share that my first book, At Least It Looks Good From Space, is coming out this October.
I thought I was more emotionally prepared for this moment but it turns out I'm absolutely not. I hope you like it.

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.
Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

one of the wildest things about Elon Musk is that you do sort of get the sense that he'd back down on a lot of these things if so much as one person in his life was actually nice to him or cared about his wellbeing, an unfortunately impossible task.

Reading this at the moment after buying it online from @kennysbookshop.bsky.social - a hugely enjoyable meander through the mind of @carlkinsella.bsky.social. Funny, sharp and occasionally dark, it's well worth your time and money this Christmas.

When Dunnes staff refused to handle S African goods they were denounced by politicians from FF/FG, as well as "business leaders". The same groups blocking the OTB today. They were spat on, beaten by Gardaí and followed by Special Branch. It took 3 years to shame the govt. into acting. Reluctantly.

Hahaha I’m loving this new Instagram feature where it warns you there’s only a few minutes left to view someone’s story with a bright red doomsday clock. Brand new ways to make us all more insane every day, just inserted into our lives without announcement.

FINALLY a judge is pointing it out explicitly.
The behaviour of Enoch (& the other Burkes) is a clear safety concern.
Genuinely, how far off are they from rationalising violence as appropriate to their cause?
