I am so sad to say we lost my dearly beloved Grandad on Sunday morning. He was my favourite person in the world and I loved him so very much. There was so much to admire about him. I will never forget him. May he rest in peace.

🇮🇪 “How dare you lecture me about Irish neutrality?” An Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD Russia “should not have a veto on Irish participation in peacekeeping.” #LeadersQuestions

Kremlin couldn’t write a better script
Ukraine has “already lost” the war against Russia, says @Alice_Weidel, co-leader of the Alternative for Germany party, which is leading German opinion polls. She told @zannymb, that Germany should pull the plug on support for Ukraine against Vladimir Putin’s invasion. Watch the full interview at 6pm London time (1pm in New York): bit.ly/4yrcX9s

Interesting real world early voter data out of Iowa. Early voters in Iowa skew Democratic but +27 is… quite a difference.
Iowa had its first day of early voting yesterday. Submitted ballots were D+27 by party registration. In 2022, first-day ABEV ballots were D+11. And in 2024, it was D+7. More on the EV blog: gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-ea…

Some magical progress towards "magic state" in quantum! Our @GoogleQuantumAI team has demonstrated "magic state cultivation" on physical hardware for the first time. The result is a 40x error reduction on our Willow processor vs. previous methods, achieving a state-of-the-art 99.99% logical fidelity. It's another step towards useful, error-corrected quantum computers to help solve the hardest problems. The result is published in Science today, watch the video below to see how it works

New @WorksInProgMag looking absolutely fantastic - and the content once again fascinating and varied. A real credit to @s8mb and team. One year into the subscription now and couldn’t recommend it more.

Fantastic day at #AISummitEU - great insights and conversations - personal highlight was briefly meeting @demishassabis. A tremendous individual - and a fellow @LFC fan.

In the last 8.5 games Parrott has played, he has scored more goals than 95% of Irish players ever. In those games alone, he would be Ireland's joint 17th top goal scorer

I’m so very sad to learn of my friend Phil’s (@rothairisbeoir) passing. We got to know each other due to nurses strikes in 2019 and kept in touch. Unlikely friendship. We used to laugh that nobody would guess we were friends. But we were. And I’ll miss him terribly. May he RIP.

Feeling good about this one:)
Googlebook is officially here! I’ve been so excited to share the details with the world. Today, many of us rely heavily on laptops to get work done, but we think there is an opportunity to rethink the category to address the needs of people today. So we brought the best of ChromeOS and Android to create a new platform for laptops. Our initial focus with Googlebook is to deliver an amazing laptop that feels awesome for Android phone users. Here’s what to know about Googlebook 🧵👇

Great afternoon at the @GriffithMile. I took 30 seconds off my effort last year, ran my fastest mile since 2019, and all told am pretty happy! Cheers everybody.

Myślałem, że to pomyłka. Jest gorzej - dalej w to brnie.
Panie Premierze, historyku, dziś jest 17 września... Ważna rocznica. Warto wiedzieć: 87 lat temu straciliśmy terytorium, ale nie straciliśmy Ojczyzny 🇵🇱 A swoją drogą, zamiast recenzowania i surfowania w internecie, polecam jak najszybciej pochylić się nad moją ustawą o obniżeniu cen paliw - Polacy czekają. Proponuję skasować ceny paliw ;)

What a moronic take.
An absolute vile disgrace @FineGael @FiannaFail - turns out housing the entire world for free has consequences

I was sad and sorry to read about this attack yesterday. Michael is a good person and an attack on any democratically elected person is ultimately an attack on democracy. Wishing him well with his recovery.

Genuinely delighted to see this. Full credit to Government for pushing forward with it. Good economic times don’t necessarily last, but good infrastructure does. Important that we make the most of this economic moment.
A major milestone for MetroLink today, with Government approval of the Final Business Case. Procurement can now begin, with enabling works expected to start in 2027. MetroLink is happening.
