How many metropolitan Deputy Mayors can be found picking litter on a Saturday morning? I often spot @donnacooney1.bsky.social cleaning Clontarf seafront in her Tidy Towns top and @dublincitycouncil.bsky.social bag on weekends. Credit where it’s due!

Sure, why wouldn’t Brad Pitt welcome a touch of Thurles? Some of us are lucky enough to have been born with it!

I’m told that some of the rock armour on the sea side of the greenway had been dismantled. This would have made the greenway vulnerable from underneath, which is why the greenway was closed. That’s understandable.

I can’t see why the seafront greenway has been blocked as there is no construction on the cycle lane or pedestrian lane. The initial fencing around the construction site left the greenway clear…

One of the pleasures of my job is in watching my former @dublincityuni.bsky.social students blossom and build on their university experience. Delighted to catch up today with Katy Anna Mohan at Google, where she is Principal International Growth Consultant.

Harvard’s decision to resist Trump is ‘of momentous significance’

In the administration’s effort to break what it sees as liberalism’s hold on higher education, the institution is big game

This is the best metaphor I have seen that may actually resonate with the students I teach re LLM usage.

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

Thank you very much, Derek. That’s very kind of you.

This is the kind of @dublincityuni.bsky.social PhD graduation photograph you get when your topic is about three centuries of the impact and significance of the puppet theatre in Ireland!
Thanks to Brid Horan and @dairekeogh.bsky.social for humouring me and to Kyran O'Brien for capturing the moment.
