@PaulinaJo This may be of interest: app.HelloQuitX.com - with some due diligence, obviously.

@DunleavyBernard It may still be on the TG4 player. I can't check due to geo-restrictions, but try here: tg4.ie/ga/player/bail…

@AlanToner4 @PenguinIEBooks I’ve only seen some clips on YouTube.

I brought Tim Robinson’s ‘Connemara - A Little Gaelic Kingdom’ on holiday and I’ve used it as a local gazetteer during our stay in Moyrus. Yesterday we followed his footsteps to the grave of Joe Heaney. #TimRobinson #JoeHeaney #Connemara @PenguinIEBooks youtu.be/87v_z-4uaII

@VirgilioClerigo Cé hé sin?

@daveyalba @leah_nylen Is there a transcript of his testimony available?

Next up w/ @leah_nylen on Google/DOJ antitrust trial: We've got a story coming on my favorite witness of the trial so far — Dr. Antonio Rangel, a behavioral economist with Caltech. He's been giving compelling testimony on the power of defaults (been nerding out on this one 🤓)

Varian is behaving very hostile to the DOJ, despite his damning testimony. Here was a good exchange: Dintzer/DOJ: Defaults are powerful, are they not? Varian: I don’t know if I’d say that. Dintzer: You coined the phrase “power of defaults,” did you not? #USvGoogle

@TRosenstock Hi Tristan, I meant 'Catlín Maude - Renaissance woman of Carna'.

@AlanToner4 Hi Alan, which podcast is that?

One of my favourite podcasts is by @TRosenstock about a hero of mine, the Irish Poet, Civil Rights activist, Teacher, Actress and one of the finest sean nós singers ever, Connemara woman, the late Caitlín Maude. Have a listen! #Connemara #Irish #Podcast newstalk.com/podcasts/newst…

@TRosenstock @BridMcGrath @TG4TV @TheRollingWave Is this podcast still available somewhere? The link on the newstalk page isn't working.

@BridMcGrath @CoynesBar @TG4TV It was excellent! @TheRollingWave

@eric_seufert Updates will be added here: ec.europa.eu/competition/el…

@eric_seufert No. They contacted relevant industry actors and competitors with questions, but there has been no public communication beyond the press release and an official document to open proceedings.

Has the actual text of the EC’s anti-trust complaint against Google been made public? I can only find the EC’s (rather thin) press release about the complaint. ec.europa.eu/commission/pre…

If you're in London, check this out. Tim Robinson's Connemara trilogy is an incredible achievement. I never met him and Máiréad, but once west of An Cheathrú Rua, his voice is in my head, helping me to look more deeply, and listen more carefully.

@francescamari @nytimes @NYTmag Thx for this piece. For some years I lived beside Mitchell-Lama complex in W'burg (Lindsay Park). It was striking how racially mixed it was, an outlier in the NY I knew. Please write a detailed exploration of the ML program and its erosion through privatization and buy outs.

Housing around the world has become a nightmare of expense and speculation. What did Vienna do right? How might our lives be different if housing costs weren't so high? My latest—an economic, political, and philosophical argument—at @nytimes @NYTmag 🏡💸 nytimes.com/2023/05/23/mag…

In this thread, I want to share some additional details about what the file from Xandr/Microsoft, which was reported yesterday (themarkup.org/privacy/2023/0…), reveals about how hundreds of consumer data brokers trade personal information on billions of people at a global level.⬇️

The ad industry surveils users behaviour on/offline to classify them in 'segments' which can be sold to advertisers. This process includes observation and inference on sensitive health, political and financial data. @WolfieChristl found the dirt: themarkup.org/privacy/2023/0…

@Meavmusic @AnnaRodgersDocs @quietgirlfilm I've never heard 'hábú' before, is it a phrase specific to An Rinn?

@AnnaRodgersDocs @quietgirlfilm Tá Cáit ag dul hábú.

@quietgirlfilm Chuaigh cúpla duine againn ó scoil ár bpáistí chun do scannán a fheiceáil. Ba bhreá linn é. An féidir leat a insint dúinn cén frása atá á úsáid ag Carrie Crowley chun "suas go dtí an leaba" a rá? Fuaimeann sé cosúil le "thar boo". Níor chualamar sin riamh. GRMA.
