The amount of ”things” I have abandoned when they demand an account or an app.

RIP, your music lives on.

Sitka Spruce the Amazing Timber Tree This is "Sitka Spruce the Amazing Timber Tree" by iPLANiT Productions on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

This video, and 2 copies of the matching book, have been sent to **every primary school in Ireland**.

It's possibly THE most outrageous industry propaganda I've ever seen. The descriptions of Sitka deadzones are so totally false, it's hard to know where to even start.

Farmer growing 70% of Irish broccoli says solar farms threaten food security Plan for 140MW solar farm on 338 acres in Kildare is sited on ‘some of the most fertile and productive agricultural land in Ireland’

A more accurate headline might read: 'Broccoli farmer has his facts wrong on solar energy & land use'.

For Ireland to hit its target of 8GW of solar power would require 0.25% of farmland.

Somehow the remaining 99.75% isn't adequate to maintain food supply...?

Humans only. no ai.

Online abuse of politicians is a profitable business Senator Eileen Flynn's comments on far-right use of the tricolour have made her a lightning rod for online abuse - because viral hatred is highly profitable

In the space of a few weeks in 2025, Simon Harris required armed gardaí at his family home due to multiple bomb threats, while former taoiseach Leo Varadkar was subjected to a homophobic tirade by a self-styled citizen journalist who filmed the confrontation for social media. A man is due before the courts in July in connection with an alleged assault on Mary Lou McDonald and two canvassers the day before the presidential election last year. The incident was filmed and went viral online. So, last week when a video of Senator Eileen Flynn speaking about racism and nationalist propaganda went viral, a predictable and inevitable online pile on began, with posts attacking Flynn's "patriotism" or perceived

Much of the abuse directed at Ms Flynn came from Irish accounts run by people who benefit from algorithmically amplification (so called blue tick accounts), and content monetisation. Monetisation is now a commonplace feature on social media platforms like X/Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, that allows the company to "share" revenue. The more attention (likes, shares, comments etc) a post gets, the more revenue a user earns. Influencers also often have accounts on three or four platforms and post dozens of times a day, and can also benefit from tips, and paid subscribers so it is difficult to gauge how much they earn, but a single viral post on X can generate over €300 for an influencer, so this can become a quite lucrative activity for not a lot of work. Power

The abuse directed at Ms Flynn did not only come from Irish accounts; international social media influencers whose attention was already on Ireland since the fuel protests latched onto it too. Defiant Ls, an account run by a Macedonian influencer who promotes Maga content shared the video, as did the account LibsofTikTok, with the caption, 'Irish Senator Eileen Flynn says that she is "terrified" to see her nation's flag and thinks it's "disgraceful" to fly it', received more than 250,000 views and over 1,300 comments, mostly abusive. LibsOfTikTok has nearly five million fans and the account is run by Chaya Raichik, a right wing influencer who has previously targeted schools, hospitals and libraries across the United States. Victims of her attention have gone to be inundated with threats of violence.

I have a piece in the Examiner today on how content monetisation is fuelling a new wave of online harassment

Irish influencers with monetised accounts are mimicking the behaviour of people like Chaya Raichik, the owner of LibsOfTikTok, who has turned online abuse & harassment into a business model.

I gotta jailbreak my kindle. Mine isn't one of the ones amazon is no longer supporting but it's old enough that I'm sure it will be in the next batch. Plus i should just do it anyway

Screenshot from Mastodon, white text on black background: Erik Uden @ErikUden@mastodon.de Once libraries are nonexistent any modern fascist movement wouldn't even have to burn books, but flick one switch and they'd be remotely deleted from your Amazon Kindle or similar digital "library". Capitalists are already building the infrastructure to do this through DRM, so stop believing tech is apolitical - the defunding of libraries and paywalling of information are all part of this.

A reminder during #NationalLibraryWeek, libraries are our best and last defense against the fascist monopoly on knowledge and information

All those "show us what you looked like ten years ago" or "show your green art/animal art/art of women" memes are being used to train AI

Dublin currently has ZERO cycle lanes under construction.

You'd think the climate crisis, collapsing AMOC, fossil fuel supply crisis, obesity epidemic, traffic jams or appalling road death increases didn't exist.

No urgency. Just subsidies for ... yep... more fossil fuels 😞

The crucial thing to understand about Peter Thiel is that he adores "The Lord of the Rings" and no one in human history has ever so utterly completely missed all the salient points of what a book is about.

This adorable little lady is around 8 months old and already dressed better than most of us… seriously, that bow tie?
She’s currently accepting applications for a forever home where she can be admired appropriately (and possibly treated like royalty… she won’t complain). 💖#Farplaceanimalrescue

Are we hearing this message, Ireland???

We could well be in *very* deep trouble if we don't.

Apropos of nothing, if the creator of something you cherished turns out to be a horrible person, the answer isn't to close your hearts for fear of disappointment, it's to love more. Love with abandon, because there's always new art to find, love so much as to always outweigh the disappointments. ❤️

the midland bogs of Ireland are areas of historical and natural significance. we destroyed them in the name of electricity generation and jobs and have just started returning them to their natural state. we should be in uproar at the idea of putting fucking data centres on them. appalling.
