Power to the People - Feb 1st: Delete X Day

Proposed by @adriangallagher.bsky.social

Maybe if/when more Irish people leave, Micheál Martin won't keep posting photos of people on X & Simon Harris won't think it's such a "tough one" to stop using it.

🧵 @jburnmurdoch.ft.com is spot on about the conditions in his FT piece. Liberal democracy held it together thanks to growth, good demographics, and the promise of a better future. Those days are gone, and that’s the "why" behind the erosion. However...
Democratic politicians have, though, pursued growth in GDP at the expense of other values. One response to @jburnmurdoch.ft.com pessimistic scenario is refocus on those values, combined with egalitarianism, sufficiency and quality of life. Not "it's the economy, stupid" but "it's the the society"

Ireland needs to choose it's table. If you're hovering between tables, you're not at either. You're on the menu at both. Ireland is too small not to take sides and as an EU member the table is with Europe and Canada, not linking the boots of the tyranical manbaby Drumpf #spéirghorm

The quotes in that piece are 🤯

"“Is there any opportunity… to kind of encourage people away from the city,” she said. “And I don’t mean that [as] a negative. I mean that [as] a positive."

“There’s so much more out there than just being in Dublin, so much more else happening.”

Simon Harris' response here is dire.

Talking about the use of X as "a balance, a tough one" for himself when asked about the safeguarding of children.

How the Dept of Ed hasn't stopped posting photos of children on X, even temporarily while they deal with it "in real time", is insane.

#IrishPol
Grok is being used to create sexualised images of women and child abuse material which are posted on X.

So, why is the Department of Education still posting images of children to X?

If Government Departments are going to continue to use X, can they at least stop posting images of children?

Not to make light of the situation, but kudos to @janematthews1.bsky.social for this Sopranos-esque photo from Brussels.

In 98 when I got my 1st PC as a teenager, I tried every switch & every command out of curiosity. I ended up frying the power supply by switching the voltage.

This guy did the same with ChatGPT & blames them because he relied on "underlying correspondence with ChatGPT" as a sole research method.

I know it's an ad designed to target a broad range of injustices, sprinkled with generalisations between examples of blatant greed, with the aim of getting people riled up & supportive of the party.

It worked 🟢

This is the platform the Irish government and our Taoiseach and Tanaiste don't want to regulate and don't want to stop using. Tell me again how much this government cares about women and children?
In our conservative estimate, 41 percent of Grok’s images — or 1.8 million — were sexualized depictions of women. Separately, CCDH analyzed how many were sexualized images across genders and ages. Their findings: an estimated 3 million images, including more than 23,000 of children.

So we have figures now.

Grok created and shared 1.8m sexualised images of women between December 31 and January 8, after Elon Musk promoted the feature on X.

Overall, the Grok chatbot generated and posted 4.4m images — 41% were sexualised images of women

Trump’s Board of Peace logo is basically the UN logo, except dipped in gold and edited so the world only includes America.

Should anyone want an exhibit or talk over the coming months, do get in touch. I'm currently putting together a presentation on 100 years of Fianna Fáil, focusing on material produced by the party, should you be interested. Thanks Alan

There you have it, the Board of Peace is nothing more than a corrupt real estate deal dressed up as diplomacy with the sole purpose of enriching Trump and his favoured cronies.
Trump makes concluding remarks. He says Gaza ceasefire push began because he is “a real estate person at heart, and it’s all about location, and I said, ‘look at this location, on the sea, look at this beautiful piece of property’”.

Trump's “Board of Peace” plan for Gaza looks more like a real estate pitch than a peace initiative.

They’re still killing journalists in Gaza. The horrors and war crimes have not stopped.
Three journalists on their way to film a displacement camp in central Gaza were among at least 11 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces on Wednesday. Their vehicle was known to the Israeli military and their work was sponsored by the Egyptian Relief Committee www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

The TACO cycle:

Markets want to price in TACO. But TACO only works if Trump sees stocks tank.

So we get a loop: Trump does things → nothing happens (markets already priced in TACO) → that emboldens him to do more → until markets start to think he might not TACO → stocks fall → TACO is restored.
