Honestly, the White House visit is starting to feel like a ritualistic humiliation to remind us who's really in charge of our country.
Sickening but no surprise Isn't this what Landlord Minister Michael Healy-Rae has been lobbying for Clearly he doesn't want the people of Kerry or Ireland to have their own home

Yesterday, a 110MW off-grid AI data center outside of Dublin was switched on - and it's powered entirely by fossil fuels. Developers went with natural gas engines (specifically RICE) to bypass the grid connection queue. They claim the engines "could" be switched to HVO, and that the project will attempt to connect to the grid "when possible". What does this mean for Ireland's climate goals? According to my estimates, this single project will increase the entire country's annual GHG emissions by ~1%. Assumptions: - The project seems to be using Rolls Royce (mtu) 4000 Series RICE which have an electrical efficiency of 44% https://lnkd.in/eRX4PRuf - Modifying the NREL life cycle gas emissions factor with this efficiency yields 656.75 gCO2e/kWh https://lnkd.in/gfgs2X6P - Assuming a 90% capacity factor because AI hyperscale data centers run near 24/7 to recoup massive GPU costs - Ireland’s 2024 GHG emissions = 53.8 million tCO2e https://lnkd.in/ejjRgRpE hashtag#DataCenters hashtag#Sustainability hashtag#ArtificialIntelligence

Ireland's new fossil-fuelled #Petrotech data center will increase Ireland's **total** (everything, not just the power sector) emissions by ~1%
Absolutely nuts. A 1% national increase - for what? Come on boosters, explain why this is worth it 🫠

Deepest sympathies and mind yourself
Last year, I took part in a pilot writing residency at The Dock in Leitrim, working on a book I kept calling my "tiny weird non-fiction project". This short residency is now being rolled out and seeking applications. Honoured they used the title. Apply/spread the word. www.thedock.ie/artists/open...
Today's evacuation orders in Beirut displace 100,000s - including elderly people, children, people with disabilities, etc. etc., all having to leave in a hurry with no idea what will happen to their homes. This kind of mass forced displacement is illegal under international law.
Deepest sympathies, mind yourself x
"Will he get away with it? I don’t know, but having effective control over how it is presented to viewers of CBS and CNN, and readers of the Bezos-owned Washington Post, to say nothing of the already vast pro-Trump propaganda empire of Fox News and the rest, will certainly make it easier."
I try not to get too conspiratorial in my thinking, but it is getting a bit coincidental how every time the Epstein scandal closes in on Trump, the US launches a major military operation in another country
Iran has fired ballistic missiles into:
Israel
Bahrain
UAE
Qatar
Five Iranian cities have been hit: Isfahan, Qom, Karaj, Kermanshah, and the capital Tehran.
The US and Israel have launched their attack on Iran.
This disgraceful decision and those who made it will not be remembered well in future.
Yet more evidence that the US is working to undermine the British state. While publicly I understand the UK has to call the US an ally, in practice it has to be treated as a hostile actor
Rising rents will lead to more evictions
We are already at 1850s levels
To think this is what the Irish Government is deliberately doing to its people
When there are over 180,000 homes lying empty
There is no social contract in Ireland, it has being long broken
#SpeirGorm #DerelictIreland
What a great idea, invite a team representing a genocidal state, with a violent fan base riddled with child killers to a country who's supporters are very openly pro-palestinian and watch as the media "both sides" clashes instigated by the former.

It would seem as if the current Irish government is so lacking in pride, belief, and commitment to the people of Ireland it cannot function without the approval of the very worst Western administrations.
They discuss everything with everyone except the electorate.
#SpéirGhorm
Its humiliating that our Government are so forelock tugging towards tech giants

Not saying our water is perfect but feeling profoundly grateful for Right2Water and everyone who fought against the privatisation of water in Ireland.
This article completely omits the carbon cost of inducing an additional 30,000 people to fly to Ireland from the US.
Each return trip emits (at best) 2 tonnes of CO2, so that's 60,000 tonnes of CO2 at a shadow price of €319 per tonne - around €20mn to be deducted.

Neanderthals … no real left politics in the UK … incredibly sad
For anyone that hasn't seen/heard Radio Television Suisse commentator Stefan Renna calling out Adam Edelman for his Zionism, at the bobsleigh event yesterday at the Winter Olympics. Which has since been pulled by the station from it's website. Here it is.
Irish times headline ‘Trump scolds CNN reporter for not smiling as she asks about Epstein abuse survivors’
Toxic patriarchy in action-questioned by a female reporter about the Epstein releases,Trump gets nasty because she’s not smiling. Powerful men want smiling acquiescence from women-complicit women give it unfortunately. Good on this journalist that she does not! #dontsmileforthepatriarchy #spéirgorm
Sign! For ECIs to be considered by the European Commission, each country must meet its threshold, for Ireland that's 10,080. We are currently at just under 6,000, approx 58%, so we need a big push! Belgium, Finland, France and Spain are there, let's get there too!

Professor Mary Aiken: Grok is a warning shot, not a one-off scandal
This topic is trapped in a repeating pattern.
X keep telling us Grok is "fixed".
Others then show it is not.
Its been BURKED - same "news" again and again.
