Dúirt sé nach de thimpist go raibh imeartas focal i gceist leis an dteideal, an focal céanna d’fhear as Gaeilge agus eagla as Béarla.

Gan cealg!
Sin é an scéal ar fud na cruinne : glacann Béarlóirí leis go labhraínn muid uilig Béarla is ní fiú aird ar bith a thabhairt ar teangacha eile.

This is what someone told me about Twitter (RIP) & I absorbed it: you are not responding to the person you are arguing with, but to anyone else who might be reading & might need to see what you are saying in order to open up a different world, or even just acceptance, for them.
In uireasa chúntóir riachtanas speisialta, ní bheadh ball de ChnamB s'againne ábalta freastal ar scoil ar chor ar bith. Leis an gcuntóir, is féidir léi am fiúntach a chaitheamh gach lá sa rang príomhshrutha.

In 2001, the fiction writer Darach Ó Scolaí published a retelling of the story aimed at the contemporary reader. @darachoscolai.bsky.social version, written in modern Irish and featuring amusing illustrations, gave new life to this centuries-old trickster tale.

Gach seans.
Bheadh! Tá bunús éigin leis an scéal. Chuala mé tuairim gur earcaíocht amhais ag mealladh "leanaí" na cathrach a bhí i gceist (I. Ní daoine óga ach glas-stócaigh)
22 women who’ve just given birth sharing one bathroom.
Premature babies in overcrowded units, with no space for both parents.
Government failures mean these conditions will now last even longer.
We need urgent intervention to get the Rotunda extension back on track.

My pleasure.
Also see cartoons from the 80s (and still today, too, but I first noticed it in the 80s) where the girls and women were always “mysteriously” lighter than the boys and men. Lighter always signifies female.
That’s colorism. And it hates especially black women.

Reads: Most importantly, there is no AI without massive financial and ideological backing. It is therefore pointless to discuss its techniques or capabilities without asking who controls it, who benefits from it, who builds and deploys it, and what it is doing in the world. As Stafford Beer (2002) argued, the purpose of a system is what it does.
Reads: Though less explicit than Thiel’s call to replace politics with technology, major tech firms have effectively privatised core digital public goods. Platforms like Facebook, Google Search, and OpenAI’s ChatGPT operate at infrastructural scale in Ireland, shaping information, communication, and access to knowledge. Yet their algorithms remain opaque, their governance remains private, with minimal democratic accountability to the public who depend on them; effectively ceding aspects of democratic process to commercial interests. The monopolization of digital spaces has turned democracy into something the highest bidder can buy and is degrading the digital public goods themselves. As the AI industry, social media and search platforms grow more extractive and less trustworthy, they erode the foundations of democratic life: trust, dialogue, and accountability, blurring the line between truth and falsehood. An example is the deepfake video falsely showing President Catherine Connolly withdrawing from the presidential race last October, which amassed over 160,0001 Facebook views before being removed. GenAI’s non-deterministic, stochastic architecture produces plausible output without regard for accuracy or truth. This makes generative AI a societal disaster and a major threat to truth, democratic processes, information ecosystems, knowledge production, and the social fabric
Reads: For truth, democracy, and the rule of law to endure in the AI era, we need to cultivate an ecosystem of transparency and accountability. Yet governance by algorithms inherently places our digital public squares and democratic processes in the hands of those building these systems in line with their political and profit-seeking agendas. Without real mechanisms in place, talk of transparency and accountability are empty gestures. An internal Meta memo outlining plans to launch facial recognition in smart glasses “during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns”5 illustrates how those advocating for accountability are under-resourced, retaliated against, and targeted. Large tech and AI companies, despite selling promises of innovation and societal benefit, monetize and undermine the very society they claim to serve. What is needed is not just regulation, but active enforcement. Given the track record of tech giants, stricter regulation and enforcement is not “anti–freedom of speech” or anti-competitiveness. It is one of the clearest ways governments can show they serve the public interest. After all, innovation that disregards truth and democratic processes risks undermining democracy itself.
I appeared as an expert witness before the Joint Committee on AI at the Houses of Oireachtas (parliament of Ireland) to discuss "AI: truth and democracy" this morning. You can read my opening statement here: www.oireachtas.ie/en/publicati...
