Dublin City Council has suspended use of X following the Green Party emergency motion last week. It'll come to our Protocol Committee next week and myself and other Greens will be recommending leaving it completely.

Last year, we made the decision to step away from X.
The Royal Irish Academy is committed to creating, convening, and sharing knowledge for the public good and as an organisation we value Independence; Integrity; Curiosity; Openness and Rigour.
In our view, X no longer aligns with these values

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.
And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

it's wild how the positive use cases are like "save 5 minutes reading a long doc" and "write a generic email faster" and the negative use cases are "get encouraged to dive deeper in psychosis, misogyny, or suicidal thoughts" and we're still on the fence about overall value
New from 404 Media: ChatGPT told a violent stalker to continue running his misogynistic and threat-filled podcast despite the “haters,” and to visit more gyms to find women. The man stalked women in multiple states, including touching and following from work

A fascinating mix of Americans, Brits, and our own home grown West Brits.
I suppose it isn't surprising but it's the West Brit far-right idiots Ireland really needs to be worried about - them and their far-right pals in Northern Ireland.

It appears the thing Ireland is (most) full of, is US anti-immigrant protestors pretending to be Irish! Who'd have guessed?

This picture drawn to include the van pulled into the sidewalk is 🧑🍳 😘
Dublin has all the ingredients to be a world-class cycling city, but we need a real shift in thinking, ambition, and action.
We need to move from talking the talk to walking (and cycling) the walk.
Because as is, this is what it feels like to cycle in Dublin 👎

It’s disturbing that so much of the Irish media still turn to #X for commentary and quotes. This creates a totally distorted impression given that platform’s active promotion of right-wing extremism. #Speirgorm
