I was scrolling through my Twitter feed this morning and came across a Tweet from a wonderful person I follow. That Tweet stimulated the article below. Thank you to Tracy @AddressingLife: I appreciate the inspiration for the topic. #defeatist #apathy

Bad idea! Just toss petrol on the smouldering fire.

Some argue that #NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, needs to be disbanded: I say no, it needs to be rebranded: its mandate expanded to meet the new geopolitical realities the world faces. #Geopolitics

Overreliance on a few corporations for tax revenue risks severe shortfalls. 'Putting all eggs in one basket' is risky for long-term funding. We need policies to attract diverse businesses, broadening our tax base. I've seen the fallout of an 80s recession in a one-horse town - it wasn't pleasant. Many lost homes and 40% of mortgages failed. Diversify or risk economic instability. https://bit.ly/43AnTCx https://bit.ly/43gl89L

Fake news is rising rapidly, an ironic and disturbing trend. Despite having unprecedented access to information, we're caught in a paradox where abundance breeds falsehoods. Fake news, like a masterful illusion, deceives with its well-crafted illusion of truth. Censorship isn't the solution. We need to enhance critical thinking and media literacy.

The #breakfast for ex-champions: an omelette with tomatoes, parmesan cheese, spring onion fresh from the garden, ham, salami, salt and pepper, and a wee bit of smoked paprika to add that certain 'je ne sais quoi;' And then, I add asparagus spears, beautifully golden and crispy baby spuds, a tiny bit of white pudding just because I can and garnish with a few chives for some 'pop.' After cooking it, I had to share half with my partner because she said it looked so good.

I read an article today and needed to voice my opinion.

I want to share an article I recently penned titled "Ireland's Refugee Responsibilities: A Legal and Ethical Perspective." This piece delves into the intricate relationship between #Ireland's national policies, international commitments, and our current #refugee crisis. https://bit.ly/3BDzWDi

Check out my latest article on Hate, xenophobia, harassment, bullying, trolling etc.

Hate, xenophobia, harassment, bullying, trolling etc., are diseases of the post-truth zeitgeist — they are virulent, disgusting and malodorous: a zero-sum endeavour that harms its victims as well as those who propagate them.

Democracy is not perfect 👉🏿#Brexit 51.9% can rule 48.1%: throw in the fickle factors — disinformation, social engineering, foreign money, and a long-term asymmetric warfare campaign seducing people with treads of reflexive control: and, bam, #democracy subverted! 🇬🇧 +🐻=🔗‍💥🇪🇺

Reflexive control cracks us with a whip of disinformation, so sensual and so sweet: we embrace it until all we hold dear is drained from us and we awaken from the seductive apathy, our bondage fully complete: our freedoms drifting like a wraith in the far reaches of our consciousness. #Disinformation #Misinformation #ReflexiveControl #AsymmetricWarfare
