Two masterful #StPatricksDay speeches in #NYC yesterday at Gracie Mansion from Mayor Zohran Mamdani and former Irish President Mary Robinson.

Both speeches emphasize the importance of community and solidarity in an era when toxic individualism is lionized by the technobros et al. The current struggle pits the warmth of community vs the relentless pursuit of individual wealth accumulation

Folks, making changes to the new circular before it gets released is what you need to contact your TDs and Councillors about. The 2014 doc is the justification for the SNA cuts, as it says SNAs are only to be used for toileting assistance etc and not for emotional regulation or focus issues.

Simon McGarr completely captures the Irish government’s obtuse determination to do nothing in the face of the illegal and immoral behavior of many American tech enterprises

While many Silicon Valley leaders are overtly supporting a democracy subverting American regime, the Irish ruling class class clings to a see no evil obtuseness as the techno spigot pours money in
