👀 Irish data centres are now using 22% of all electricity generated in Ireland, more than all urban homes combined & drawing an unquantified amount (lots) of Ireland’s water capacity

Could AI demands be related to recent push to fast-track infrastructure, side-step safeguards & reduce court access?
A new state-by-state evaluation of the projected energy and water use of "AI" data centers in the US. Looks… real bad. Like, "undoing tech sector climate gains" bad.

Strongly recommends immediately ensuring any & all new "AI" data centers to run on existing & expanded renewables grids. Which… yeah.

Ah...Fionnán Sheahan, impartiality personified in a 20ft forehead.

If a state construction company had been set up the 1st time it was suggested by PBP-Sol we'd have houses now....and jobs...and less emigration.

In an endless loop of people who don't want it done saying it can't be done.
🗣️ "We need a state construction company," says People Before Profit–Solidarity TD Richard Boyd Barrett.
"How many years would it take to set that up?" asks guest host Fionnán Sheahan.

"Affordable homes" "cost-rental" "start-up" are social housing too, tis just the social aspect is more for developers than actual home owners.

"The far left are just as bad as the far right" is a thing I'd imagine every Government TD believes to be true, and as long as that's the case they'll be unable to take the threat of the far right as seriously as it needs to be taken

People askin how 4 kids nearly gettin burned alive in a racist attack are the same people that say everything is "too woke".
So woke that racist & homophobic attacks are increasing.
So woke people are bandying around slurs I haven't heard since I was a kid.
So woke you can't call a racist a racist.

“Everyone who is rich enough or close enough to reactionary politics is effectively in a cult with beliefs loonier than the median Heaven’s Gate member” is a relatively straightforward description of the current moment. I don’t know how we live like this

Old Soviet joke for today:

A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.

After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”

“I’m looking for the obituaries.”

“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”

“Not the one I’m looking for.”

What a great inside look into Stephen Kerr's Mise Éire fashfest in Castlebar, Co Mayo today. Far less Irish culture and far more conspiracy theory white supremacy, as expected of course. Excellent article, well worth a read.

Our pals The Mary Wallopers have just been pulled off stage and the PA shut down at VictoriousFest in Portsmouth for taking out a 🇵🇸 flag and saying Free Palestine

Speak up against genocide in England and you're treated like a criminal

Up the Mary Wallopers 💚🤍🧡

Free Palestine!
Free the 6 counties!

I think maybe Hannibal is my idea of how you do a franchise/spin-off series. Don't make it about anything. Ruthlessly reduce it to the essentials: food, sex, death. Make it the world's most expensive longform ASMR experience, then end it with the most ambiguous romantic gesture imaginable. Pefect.

The new King Of The Hill is GOOD, I am relieved to say. Heartwarming & wholesome but also angry about the US. I can't get used to New Dale Gribble, sadly, nothing against the voice performer, OG Dale is indelible. Very sad to see Jonathan Joss's credit & recall he was killed in a hate crime. 2025.
