Does Starmer Know What He?s Talking About on AI? Thu Jan 23, 2025 13:28 | James Alexander
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"?

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 Axel Rudakubana Definitely Isn?t a Terrorist? Thu Jan 23, 2025 07:00 | Steven Tucker
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?

stop on O'Connell Street late in the evening were drawn to the lights. Conversations were started, moments were shared among the candles, as people from many different backgrounds and countries stopped to talk. Some took the time to light their own candle for their own intentions. For a short while it felt like there was a little bit of magic in the centre of Dublin.

A huge well done to all those involved. The banners and particularly the candle display looked amazing. It would be great if this could be held every weekend. Maybe somewhere on the south side of the city as well. Were ye encouraging people to go down to Shannon for the 24th. Were there leaftlets handed out? Well done again.
You could not possibly let people down. It is I and all of us who have left you down by not doing more to stop this crazy war. I will pray for the soul of your son and for God to grant you strenght during these awful times. So too will I pray for the success of you campaign to get Blair into court for the war crimes that he has purpotrated. I will try and write to you as well.
My warmest regards and best wishes to you.
Michael.
Well worth taking a quick look at this site. In the guest book Rose and her family have written a lot of responses to postings put up there.

It looks like it was done very well.
A lot better than some phoney speech by Bertie Bush or Blair that would only remember some of the dead.
Looks great guys, well done , fantastic job, a lotta thought and work. Sure would be nice to do it again. Love the banners and the 'gravestones'. Nice to see William there from 'Village'. Irish Times got it wrong, shallow or wha?! Rock on, Niall.
The piper above is Eamonn Walsh who over the years has done immense but mostly unsung work through his music for peace and cross-community relations.
Typically, when he heard of the vigil on RTE he set to work to make contact and offer his services.
>"Were ye encouraging people to go down to Shannon for the 24th. Were there leaftlets handed out?"
A table was set up at the Spire with a petition available for signing and leaflets for the upcoming trip to Shannon (24th September) and The Ploughshares Benefit gig next Thursday (15th ) in The Lower Deck.
