You are witnessing the normalization of fascism right in your face. You are seeing the media’s “unbiasedness” sanitize fascism by giving these people the benefit of the doubt. These are not “Nazi-like”, these are Nazis. Beware the rhinoceros, before it’s too late.

A small favour from any journalists that are out there, pls If you're door-stepping Patrick O'Donovan about the arts council overspend on the IT system, can you ask him how the procurement could have been improved (as he was the junior minister for procurement when the tender was released)?

Once again, once you build state bodies and structures for restricting legal things, be they drag, LGBTQ+, adult content, Ulysses, Edna O’Brien or Dirty Dancing, you have created a ratcheting machine for oppression that only goes one way.

Codec was paid almost €2 mill of the €5.3 mill that the Arts Council threw at a project before killing it. Their homepage says "In an industry that often falls short of its promises, Codec delivers." which is fun. IT article on Codec, and the other contractors: www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

The A.I. Action Summit felt like "watching policymakers on horseback trying to install seatbelts on a passing Lamborghini" which reminds me deeply of our own AI Minister never having used ChatGPT before landing the job. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/t...

my general take on nicknames for musk or trump: we don't live in a 60s mad magazine and anything you come up with is almost certainly cringe and the only question is whether you recognize that or not. I will tell you this: the trick to growing older gracefully is to not become a facebook grandparent

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.
