Why was Keir Starmer's recent speech on AI written like a Mr Men book? Prof James Alexander wonders if the Prime Minister knows what he's talking about. Is AI really "the ultimate force for national renewal"?

Donald Trump has ordered that all federal diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) staff be put on paid leave "immediately" and eventually laid off as the new President's war on woke goes nuclear.

offsite link Government by Hysteria: The Climate and Covid Hobgoblins Begin to Fade Thu Jan 23, 2025 09:00 | Tilak Doshi
Climate hobgoblins have been long in the making whereas Covid ones crawled out of nowhere. But both put corrupted science in the service of tyrannical politics. Now, at last, the hobgoblins are fading, says Tilak Doshi.

How come Elon Musk is automatically a Nazi, but a man who possesses a terror training manual, creates stores of ricin, kills several people and pleads guilty to terror charges, is not a terrorist at all?

When it comes to the Rossport Five, Galway City is the New Jerusalem or just another crocodile tear?

category galway | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Sunday September 04, 2005 18:46author by Tommy Donnellan - Shell to Sea Report this post to the editors

Never mind the bollocks heading, here's the real Mc Coy.

From Monday to Friday, Galway Shell to Sea activists have been outside Lynch's Castle in Shop Street for six hours daily (yesterday's stint was eight hours) leafleting the pedestrians on the plight of the Rossport Five, taking petition signatures - close to 11,000 so far and selling at cost or with an extra fifty cents added, handsome A5 size postcards to be sent to the Five in Cloverhill prison - an average of 125 are sold daily.

On Thursday evening, from 6PM to 7PM the Statoil Service Stations at Cemetery Cross and Headford Road along with the Westside Shell Station were picketed/blockaded.

More of the same is planned for the coming week.
