It was lovely to be outside Dublin castle this morning watching the preparations, doing a small segment on morning Ireland on the inauguration of President elect Catherine Connolly. The rain even held off for a few minutes. It’s a historic moment -the 10th President and 3rd woman. #speirgorm #aras25

I mean, fine if that’s the deal he made with his clients. But that also means he can’t do commentator work at the same time. It’s one or the other, this isn’t rocket science 🙄

Ah FFS, in the ultimate of who cares anymore the very first guest on David McCullagh’s is Ivan Yates. Yates just needs to be ignored, he is an ignoramus and a buffoon. He’s already used that most idiotic of phrases ‘anti-woke’! #speirgorm

Mamdani got a humanities degree.

His win helps to illustrate that one of the central forces driving higher ed’s dissolution of the humanities is the fear that teaching people how power works can also lead to their interest in seizing it on behalf of the less powerful.

Bear with me for a moment while I do a feminist rage - liberal feminism has not gone far enough in ‘ruining’ (aka fundamentally transforming) the workplace … & there is no such thing as conservative feminism (call it what it is, anti-feminism) … and that’s my tuppence worth on a Friday morning
