@gilduran.com in conversation with Paulina Borsook who rewrote Cyberselfish some 25 years ago.

Borsook tracked the emergence of #SiliconValley types who had only high regard for their self assessed genius rather than the collective warfare for humanity

New York City helped my mother become the artist she is today. The next generation deserves a City Hall that lifts up tomorrow's artists as well.

For the life of me I don't understand why posts like this are not creating intense discussion about Trump's fitness for office. If our leader is not aware of what is happening around him, does not see the sky as blue, how can he remain in this job?

It's profoundly dangerous for the country.

I'm going to repost what I feel is one of my most important threads on Twitter:

1. "Fascism" is an emotive term, often abused. But it has a real historical meaning, which we should examine dispassionately. What are its main elements?

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

4) The sinking of the #Titanic produced more than 1,000 sorrowful stories. One particularly tragedy is that of Margaret Rice of #Athlone.

On our latest episode, Vincent Harney, tells her story

1) How do you get to know a town?

We’re big believers in walking tours. In #Athlone there’s no better man than Vincent Harney of Athlone Guided Tours

After our walk, Vincent sat down with us to talk about the Shannon River town on our latest episode

This is who they should be interviewing on the Sunday morning political shows, not the usual talking heads. That would actually be news.
Our reporters interviewed 40 of the men the Trump administration sent to a notorious prison in El Salvador: They described being beaten, sexually assaulted by guards and driven to the brink of suicide. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/w...

The BBC edit was unfortunate, but of course Trump fanned the flames that led to the Capitol riot. Indeed, as he watched it unfold on television, he interjected. Not to call off his supporters, but to double down on his attack on Pence. Our short doc: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWJV...

One big lesson from Mamdani's victory:
Don't be afraid of billionaires. Make billionaires afraid of you. Take them on, don't back down.

Billionaires from Musk on down used all their tricks and failed.

Democrats are trained to lust after billionaire money, but courage has tremendous value.

It's the first Friday of the month, which means we've gone 2 months now without a jobs report. For Trump, this is a feature of the shutdown, not a bug, since private surveys show the job market slowing dramatically. But without official data he's able to keep lying about it.

1) Our latest episode features Timmy Donovan, Seanchaí of Sean's Bar.

The venerable #Athlone spot is considered the oldest pub in Ireland and maybe the world

Here's Timmy expounding on why people come to visit the town at the center of the #HiddenHearlands

Private planes make up nearly 12% of all flights.

And yet even with major air traffic control safety concerns, the DOT is planning to exclude them from its plan to order 10% cut in flights at 40 major U.S. airports.

People who can afford to charter flights will be fine. Everyone else is screwed.

Partly because so many formerly leftwing parties have turned to the right, there's a lot of confusion about what right and left mean in politics. I hope this helps:

The right defends economic power.

The left resists economic power.

The new Surgeon's Call: The Journal of the National Museum of Civil War Medicine has landed in Finland. We have an article on the life altering impact of wounds 2 Irishmen received at Bull Run. For one it ended his life 15 years later- and may even have indirectly caused his wife's fatal illness.
