Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

Steen, Sheridan, McGregor et al had YEARS to do the work but they didn't, preferring instead to hurl from the ditch and then blame the referee.
They are not serious political people.
They are a bunch of staggeringly entitled pick-mes, and the system worked as it should to weed them out. #speirgorm

Justine McCarthy: Presidency is not a Rose of Tralee contest for over-35s. Some qualities are non-negotiable

The argument that the role of president is devoid of real power is an odd perspective to cling to after 35 consecutive years of radical presidencies

Mentioned in Breda O'Brien's Irish Times piece: After working with thousands of teachers, my position is clear - only when all educators truly understand AI's capabilities can we properly redesign the future of LC curriculum & assessment. CPD and Knowledge first - then reform #edchatie #aieducation

What if the English Leaving Cert AAC (project) was completed in an exam as it would be at home?
I try to imagine that in this blog.

Just like 4 years ago, Trump wants to be president to avoid prison and it's utterly predictable that he'll claim to have won if he loses, and try to take power regardless. So just like 4 years ago, a vote for Trump is a vote for authoritarian regime change.

Not a Normal Election
By telling Americans in advance that he intends to stay in power regardless of the vote count, Trump implicates his supporters in his actions.
