At a time when some are turning in on themselves – Ireland will continue to engage and to look outwards.
I was delighted to speak to the Global Ireland Summit and to see so many leaders drawn from every section of our society gathered together to discuss our country’s place in the world.

This wretched coward should live his remaining days in fear over his refusal to stand up to the genocidal Israeli regime.

Google Maps literally told me to drive off a bridge the other day. Wanted me to turn onto the road 50ft below me.
How much you want to bet they've crammed "AI" into the routing algorithm?

Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.
What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

Now that she's unfortunately no longer with us I think I can say that Sinead O'Connor told me that he'd always been a homophobe and that he spent the money he got out of RTE on his house in West Cork

Sometimes you pause to marvel at the fact that the mods of this platform have been deleting the accounts of mothers begging for money to save their children's lives in the middle of a genocide for 2 years now, and this is just...normal. We live in utter depravity.

So, real talk. The imposter syndrome never really goes away either, it's like an old chronic injury that flares up again and gets really bad at certain times of the year, or if you've strained yourself. It creeps back when you don't expect it, and it's hard not to hear that little voice get louder.
Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

If I had a euro for every time the Irish Neutrality debate has been brought up and lost, by the same small cohort of privileged people, who will never have to serve, or who's children will never have to be cannon fodder, I'd have enough money to pay our defence forces a living wage.

For people unaware and playing/streaming Where Winds Meet, it uses GenAI for NPC chat bots, and let's you import a photo of yourself and a voice clip for character creation, which I'm sure I don't need to explain why that is fucked up

Pediatricians say vaccines do not cause autism. A bear-eating heroin addict who fantasizes about sucking his own semen out of his lovers' orifices says they do. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

If you live in Ireland, remember that in recent memory a single rugby-loving bank CEO cost the taxpayer more than every single welfare recipient in the state COMBINED. #SpeirGorm
I would rather 50 people got benefits they didn't need than 1 went without food or shelter.
Hot take maybe but I actually don’t give a shit about benefit fraud.
I give a shit about multimillionaires and billionaires existing and not paying tax on their actual wealth.
