Today, I have been working with a boutique rural hotel on their customer feedback today. One guest reliably informed us that her daughter enjoyed a weekend of riding. Another guest said they were kept up all night with sounds of banging.

In my mind these facts are connected.

Just talking with my wife who was canvassed earlier by a local election candidate. They can't call into houses flying the national flag due to fear of assault. All this far right galvanisation is due to decades of neoliberal governments turning a blind eye to everything but the growth of business. Now we have angry electorates getting their information from algorithms which are created by exactly those businesses beloved of those neoliberal governments

@davep Woman is at her husband's funeral. A man walks up to her and says "So sorry for your loss. Mind if I say a word?" and she says "No go right ahead." The man gets up to the podium and says "Plethora." With tears in her eyes, the widow says "Thanks. That means a lot."

I must say it’s weird to be in a European country that’s completely ignoring Eurovision

If you're wondering why warranty repairs on your Tesla are taking so long, report that ALL warranty repairs there have to be personally approved by Mr. Musk 😂 https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModelY/comments/1cnp13y/elon_himself_wtf/ #tesla #musk #warranty #automotive

Crushing products of any kind, but particularly those associated with creativity, in the days of over-consumption and AI coming for the arts after ripping off those artists, is just tone deaf. #Apple should pull their ad and apologise.

The realist, centrist, fence sitting adults in the room who have been in charge for decades have brought us austerity inevitably followed by divisive nationalism, an increased far right, and climate on the brink. It's their lack of foresight, and worship of economic growth that has pushed my vote away from the centre.

Rather than just giving Ukraine the tools to deal with these monsters, European politicians continue to ignore Russia's terror attacks across the continent, and it's only getting worse.

Just in the past 2 months

• Derailing trains in Sweden
• Burned warehouse in UK
• 2 arrested in Bavaria before attacking German logistics centers
• Destroyed signalling systems on Czech railways
• Attack on car of Estonian minister
• Jamming GPS across several sections of Nothern Europe from Kaliningrad

Ukraine is willing to do all the work on this if merely provided the tools. Two years from now, Europeans will be praying to go back in time and arm Ukraine.

Putin's terrorist engage in "disinformation, sabotage, acts of violence, cyber and electronic interference.. and other hybrid operations."

Was this an act of war? Prelude to war Russian state-directed propagandists announced is coming?

Remember, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers.

It started with politicians dividing the people with “us vs. them”.

It started with intolerance and hate speech.

It started when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye.

Remember.

I'm having coffee in Wicklow. There's a stocky guy with a goatee talking to a young man about getting a media degree, because "we need to get a global foothold in this stuff. Most of those guys are funded by the Americans. And we are up against the new Taoiseach" I can't hear most of it, but it's intriguing...
