Belfast - musing on tech, politics and other minutia. Centrist Dad.
It's been a very long time since I've finished a book in a weekend - a fascinating format and a fascinating read. So refreshing to hear a depth of argument that has up until this point been missing in pretty much all mainstream debate. Looking forward to the Lyric launch 👏🏻

So.. what are you saying? Rowling shouldn't communicate or acknowledge any child actors of Potter after they become adults?

Emma Watson is now a grown woman, 5 years off 40. Are you saying Rowling should still be treating her like a child?

Just spitballin' but .. maybe the maths work out if you factor in exposure via TV coverage in the states? Drone shots of Croker over Dublin? Vox pops during the breaks etc? I assume someone somewhere has sat down somewhere with the bag of a fag packet and concluded, 'this math works' 🤷🏻‍♂️

99.5% of that convention centre would send ICE to his family home without blinking.

Yeah, I realised a while back that I instinctively believe at that, at some level, logic and reason will prevail and equilibrium will restore. It's a bit head-melty to accept that may not be the case.

Eighty years of peace and relative prosperity also lulled Europe into the utterly perilous position of needing to subservient to America on everything from security to economic prosperity.
