Bravo to Olwen Fouéré and Margo Harkin, who turned down honorary doctorates from the University of Galway over its ties to Technion, the Israel Institute of Technology which works closely with the apartheid state's "defense industries", key to its genocide of the Palestinian people.

Next Wednesday, Rundale will host a second public talk in Clarke's City Arms.
The theme is drawn from November's issue which covers dependency, the contradictions of capitalist technology and the need for democratic planning - from Ardnacrusha to data centres to biogas.

But I guess when you're facing a margin of like 30-70 popular support against your cause, those kinds of moderate arguments won't cut it. You need to manufacture a crisis, even if it means making things up

This is not being discussed by anyone, except like two dozen guys in the UK MoD who have a colonial mindset about the whole thing, and maybe twice that number in Dublin - most Fine Gael-adjacent desperate for the big boy countries to like Ireland and/or them personally

The idea that Ireland's "vulnerability" is a major headache for EU/NATO strategic planners is simply not factually accurate. I spend a lot of time reading the work of, speaking to, and listening at conferences to these people, and I have literally never heard this mentioned! It's not on their minds!

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea
