  Oh my god, this review of "The Odyssey," by Emily Wilson - who has translated Homer's original into English - is BRRRRRRRUTAL. The mere mortal Nolan is BODIED.

  Good morning - mostly to my poor head, that's completely melted with all the ill-informed and unhinged discussion from politicians and others about ✅ hi viz ✅ helmets ✅ road safety without a single solitary mention of car drivers. Jesus wept. #MastoDaoine #RoadViolence #RoadSafety

  Has this senior official ever heard of ... trees? (You know, the things local authorities across Ireland have for years now been cutting back, chopping down, and destroying along road-sides, all at the behest of farmers and insurers.)

  This is long overdue, and a welcome change to have convictions in Ireland under a Victorian law for sexual activity between men *disregarded* rather than *pardoned* as was an earlier legislative proposal. Still, the proposed statutory requirement that people apply, prompting a "review" seems overly bureaucratic - why not disregard all such convictions under the 1861 law? https://www.rte.ie/news/analysis-and-comment/2026/0627/1580581-disregard-legislation/ #MastoDaoine #Decriminali...

  Someone mentioned in passing during a meeting in work today that "going passwordless is inevitable" and that using biometrics and facial scanning to sign in to accounts will be necessary. I work in the data protection office (the GDPR kind), so I'm begging please someone tell me this is not true.. 😩 #GDPR #DataProtection #biometrics #InfoSec

  A review of the Irish government's new AI literacy by @CriticalRedPen and her mam - and honestly, I think her mam has those LLM-based generative chatbots sussed: "She was irritated and fed up by the end, and deeply unimpressed. Likewise, she did not get the impression of AI being a useful time-saver, but a tremendous waste of time." https://www.thejournal.ie/readme/artificial-intelligence-government-7027896-May2026/ via @TheJournal #GenAI #AI #ChatBots #AILiteracy...

  Help needed from gardening peeps: we have a little patch of "wildflower" meadow (it's basically dandelions and grass). I'm going by the link below and the "No Mow May" guidance - however, can I get away with a Spring time mowing this weekend? Or should I just leave it as it is until the main Summer cut at the end of June? Help! (Full disclosure: I'm a know nothing ex-apartment dweller.) https://www.rhs.org.uk/lawns/wildflower-meadow...
