Good God. Please make it stop. Literally revising works of art to bring them into line with our modern sensibilities. Did we even agree what those sensibilities are? The rolling stones and holy bible better watch out.
Penguin has announced major revisions to a new edition of George Orwell's '1984'. 'The novel requires updating, in line with progressive sensibilities', said a consultant for 'Anti-Exclusionary Minds', a group engaged by Penguin to moderate Orwell's critique of totalitarianism.

This is good to see. TDs unashamedly refuse to answer questions from one press outlet so the other journalists refuse to ask them any further questions and close the press conference down. Proper order.
"I THINK WE'RE DONE": Today journalists in the Leinster House press pool slammed People Before Profit TDs Ruth Coppinger and Paul Murphy for refusing to take a question from Gript's @Ben_Scallan, and ended the press event early in protest:

Timely opinion piece on academic freedom/compelled speech since we are all also talking about Trump targetting research programmes, Irish and other campus protests etc.
Our article about the erosion of academic freedom in Ireland as a result of mandatory participation in a UK-run ‘equalities’ charter is on page 9 of the @IrishTimes print edition today @johnarmstrong5 Thanks to education editor @carlobrien

Was actually listening to the new @throwingmuses album when this @kristinhersh interview dropped in my timeline. #midnightconcessions is a great record. Check out Drugstore drastic for an auspicious arrival
“My songs are my soundtrack. My life pictures are easier to take when they’re set to music.” @throwingmuses’ @kristinhersh discusses the anatomy of a song, working within each of her projects’ unique color palettes, and more https://t.co/Eaw5BaMZnX

On the need to protect academic freedom
University presidents need to make hard decisions in the near future and I don’t envy them..but I agree with this article (free link below). Still waiting for a coordinated effort to push back by all universities. “Columbia’s Capitulation Will Hurt Us All”

Decolonising Shakespeare’s birthplace.🙄 A note from one of my teachers on this: Shakespeare not only perfectly captured the human condition, but was a revolutionary in so many ways. Not that the bard should need defending, but you'd expect the woke-left to be celebrating him

In answer to a question from someone on Twitter about whether I agree that true trans exists. I don’t agree with everything @Hilary_Cass has said, and I’ve made some of my views known. But we owe Dame Cass and her team a huge debt—they have put clinical ethics and research back

Surrogacy is the next frontier in the exploitation of women. I was pleased that @NewstalkFM invited me to offer a rarely heard critique of this industry. There is still time to stop the enactment of commercial surrogacy in Ireland. On 22nd April 2024, by a strong majority (563

Protect single sex sports. This shouldn't even need to be discussed, but how organisations just allowed males to identify into female sports without consultation is senseless.
