This reminds me of the time a burglar came into my house, then called the police to complain that I was interfering with his theft and didn’t want him to leave. www.rte.ie/news/ukraine...

Do this, but first make an appointment. I started with my general practitioner doctor. Some people go straight to a psychiatrist or psychologist. Your company’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a great starting point as well. Talk to someone. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Y’all, Gen Z is just fine. The things they’re pushing back against are the same things tech-savvy Gen Xers pushed against as soon as they had access to DSL/cablemodem and VPNs.

Ireland’s leaders will do literally anything to avoid building houses and fixing public transportation. Nobody’s going to invade because there’s nowhere to live and even if there were, nobody could get there! www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

What is the rationale for being against training machine learning models on copyrighted material, but supporting Wikileaks, hactivism a la Aaron Swartz, and the like?

Diversity is strength. I really don’t understand how there is any doubt about that.

I’m absolutely baffled that Ireland has an average house price of €350K with a median household income of €55K.

So, like, what happens if all 3 million federal employees take 8 months of severance and quit all at once? www.npr.org/2025/01/28/n...

I don’t have this much contempt for my exes, but I suspect this could be a new Valentine’s Day tradition for a lot of people.

I'm assuming this is a private partnership, otherwise it would have to go out to bid. In that case, what does it have to do with the federal government? Oh, and how are "colossal data centers" going to work in Texas where there's already a power generation shortage? www.rte.ie/news/us/2025...

I admire the principle. I would admire the action more if it came closer to the previous inauguration. www.wired.com/story/biden-...

Can't make this up. Light rail to take people from the city to the airport outside the city is not scoped to cross the road that surrounds the city. Will instead drop them inside that road, 3km from the airport, where they can watch planes take off. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2025...? #Dublin

In the “Foundation” AppleTV series, I really like the gender role swap between Salvor Harding (that character being a gender swap from the books itself) and her love interest, the Aussie space rambler. It’s not often you see a masculine character supporting a feminine character in their quest.

I can’t even remember how many years I’ve continuously been surprised by yet another Seldon Crisis. 2025 is not disappointing.
