@tg4.bsky.social It would be much easier to learn Irish as a non-Irish person if you put the Irish writing as well as the English words. It would allow us to identify syllables as they are pronounced, and recognise basic words. Please get advice about pedagogy from a linguist. xoxo

La France sous les flammes : la faillite criminelle du néolibéralisme
La France brûle, et nos dirigeants ne font qu'aggraver une situation qu'ils connaissent pourtant parfaitement. Sont-ils totalement irrationnels ? Non, répond cet éditorial, ils appliquent juste le dog...

Fintan O'Toole: Women believed they had to pay to be safe giving birth. Why? The Rotunda implied it
In order to maintain the fear factor that drives women towards private care, the hospital’s board implicitly insulted its own staff

Sinn féin is such a disappointment. From refusing water charges, taxing houses fairly and their anti-nature pro-fossil fuel stance. They could be visionary leaders in social reform. Instead, they are just short-termist populists.🤮

Italy, Spain, and France all deny US death planes in an illegal war to fly over their country. What about the so-called 'neutral' Ireland? Does it deny US (and Iranian, and Israeli) planes? I don't think so: show some balls. Respect international laws!
Message from Bank of Ireland Life : "At the moment, on average, it’s taking us 10 working days to complete an encashment request. " This is 2026... not 1956. What an absolute joke of a service; stay clear.

4 stories in the @irishtimes.com highlight the crazy approach to climate action by the government. 3 articles detailing the heavy financial & social cost of climate breakdown, and 1 where the govt celebrates increasing climate emissions for the airport by lifting the passenger cap. 🤯 #SpeirGorm
I despair: Irish government to remove passenger cap in Dublin airport.
If Gen AI had a body, could it do everything I do today? As a lecturer in software development, a runner, a familly man I would say yes. Often better than me. Even be more social.

Breaking News! Code Yikes! The CO2 data for November, 2025, was just released by NOAA, and the 3-year mean rate of atmospheric CO2 growth hit yet another new record high, at 7.93 ppm per 3 years. That dip in the early 1990's is due to Mt. Pinatubo. gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/
I think the modern root of all evil is calculus. If it had been banned, a no-zone, we would be a steampunk world of 18th-century technology with basic computers. The planet would be in a happier state.
Worst MR cringe from reviewer: " You committed a merge conflict" 😱 Not my day.
methink that we ought to resist the power of money for all our sakes: environment & people together in a forever sustainable harmony. So that's a no on burning fossil fuels, on plastic, on destructive mining and a yes on communities. Quite a long way to go, but degrowth is a good start.
