I am a medical anthropologist in Ireland. I've researched poverty, mental illness, addiction and HIV in Europe and Africa. I post as much on politics as health.

A corrective to crass nostalgia peddled by Irish Far Right accounts (and associated bots) on X. 1980s Ireland (to be fair, a place with elements I liked) also had many flaws needing fixing. Leave the Past to the past: our direction of travel is the future. irishtimes.com/culture/tv-rad…

When a political culture makes barbarians leaders, the first social casualties are Science, Scholarship and the Arts. The Kennedy Center is a mess. Now, the university infrastructure that makes USA internationally preeminent is under attack. nytimes.com/2025/05/31/wor… via @NYTimes

Another exciting application of mRNA. HIV can now be flushed out of hiding in T-cells, using mRNA covered in lipid nanoparticles, making it available to attack. We are on the threshold of a new age in mRNA-driven therapeutics. nature.com/articles/s4146…

This is pretty much “peak X”. QElon, who for years has platformed every lazy lie, insane rant, calculated falsehood, and dribble of textual diarrhea that Mango Mussolini is capable of producing is now SHOCKED that this out-of-touch cult leader contradicts himself. Hole f*ck!

Peak Wellness-Industry-Nonsense, blended into a smoothie-from-hell. How soon b4 RFKJr insists that, "Sure that looks great, but it really needs a methylene blue shot-boost to get the full effect." Thanks to MAHA, this insanity now ranks as medical advice🤦‍♂️ We r in a new Dark Age.

Just a reminder to all those Far Right accounts on X in North America and Europe: on this day 81 yrs ago, dedicated anti-Fascists from Open Societies landed at Normandy to erase a diseased polity dedicated to racial nationalism, “destroying degeneracy”, and murderous chauvinism.

A strangely attractive piece on Juda Engelmayer, the publicist-of-last-resort for modern pariahs, from Harvey Weinstein to upscale wellness industry slavers. Engelmayer grasps a truth about the USA: it’s morally unserious. There is only image management. nytimes.com/2025/06/03/sty…

America’s slide into authoritarianism under MAGA/Trump is best articulated in a Russian register. If these Russian terms, with strange spellings, but recognisable meanings, don’t terrify you as an American, then you aren’t paying attention. nytimes.com/2025/06/09/opi… via @NYTOpinion

Is “Bro culture” now mainstream and podcast the privileged medium? One line stands out: “Authenticity, it seems, is what fills the void when authority dies.” Include “expertise” here. Passionate intensity trumps all. US is now a Petri dish for demagogues. nytimes.com/2025/06/10/opi…

Irish Rail is letting itself down today. Maynooth line timetable is still a shambles bc of a minor issue 5 hrs ago(!). There is no excuse for this kind of clusterf*ck in a wealthy country. Transport is critical infrastructure. Without reliable public transport societies fail.

This Saturday - Trump’s birthday - let’s start a worldwide trend of posting pictures of President Obama to remind America what a real leader looks like. RETWEET to spread the word!

This shows how utterly cynical is MangoMussolini’s assault on undocumented workers. MAGA wants red meat, but Trump will not damage the interests of his friends. Vile. Trump Shifts Deportation Focus, Pausing Raids on Farms, Hotels and Eateries nytimes.com/2025/06/13/us/… via @NYTimes

Alaska has issued a heat advisory(!) Meanwhile, X platforms hundreds of accounts denying climate change. I wonder if somewhere an alien intelligence is shaking their collective heads. 🤦🏻‍♂️ climatecrisis247.com/news/alaska-te…

If this animal was Muslim, MangoMussolini and MAGA would scream, “Terrorism!” 24/7. But, he’s Christianist, hating the people MAGA hates, attacking the people they label as internal enemies. Thus, they r silent. US now has a disorganised SA. nytimes.com/2025/06/14/us/… via @NYTimes

Macron is tone-deaf in conflating stripping Sarkozy of his Legion of Honour with not "respecting" the Presidency. Powerful men are vain men, and a legacy of shame is often more-feared than a slow and uncertain kid-glove punishment of political corruption. theguardian.com/world/2025/jun…

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

Social media posts r now formally part of the student visa application process. Undefined “hostility” to US policy and culture will bar entry. Only a weak, vain, thin-skinned country behaves thusly. MangoMussolini is remaking USA in his image. nytimes.com/2025/06/18/us/… via @NYTimes

Well done, Budapest! And, well done to the MEPs who refuse to be intimatated by a petty authoritarian. Orban leeches off the EU, while attacking it incessantly. Even his homophobia is instrumental: a faux-culture glue to keep his faltering base intact. theguardian.com/world/2025/jun…
