In one of her first public actions as the newly elected Uachtarán na hÉireann (president of Ireland) Catherine Connolly has written a public letter of solidarity on Trans Remembrance Day. It is a very promising start.

When the reckoning comes (and let’s hope it’s not after something truly horrific), Ireland is going to have to come to terms with cosying up to the tech companies that helped break *everything*. Our enabling of their bullshit is in conflict with our self image as a force for good in the world.

There’s a reason they shut down so-called “cancel culture” and it’s not because it went too far. Looking at the list of email contacts from Epstein, for example, shows that the culture of abuse of power and position spreads far & wide, including to the newspapers writing disparaging opEds on “woke”

The BBC story is infuriating. Yes, editorial errors were made. Newspapers make them ALL the time and, of course, there should be consequences. But the real job of oversight at the BBC is to protect public service broadcasting from forces that (transparently) do not want it to exist. Tell that story!

It’s sad to see what’s happened at Teen Vogue, which gave young people a political voice and, even if YOU think they were at times off the mark or too worthy, that was important. I guess Vogue can go back to bring “aspirational” so long as your aspirations don’t upset your billionaire overlords.

It would be very “Ireland: the home of Halloween” if we elected a zombie president. Again.
Jim Gavin may have pulled out of the campaign, but he is still a candidate in the presidential election, whether he likes it or not.
Fianna Fáil’s zombie candidate remains in the race, at least on paper.
So what happens if you cast your vote for Gavin?
