“To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”

My partner and I are supposed to move to Ireland, from the USA, in a month. Still haven't found any housing. Gah!

Anyone know anyone who may be able to help us out? We're both artists/academics, and my partner has a job already at UCD in Dublin. We just need a place to land, even if its temporary. House sitting, apartment, house rental, private rooms, we're open to anything within 1 hour commute to Dublin via public transit.

If you know anyone who could help we would greatly appreciate it! We're almost in despair-mode 😅

I don't have a lot of followers on here, but feel free to boost this post if you're comfortable doing that!

@echo_pbreyer I'm currently writing a translation/summary of the most important points from the #chatcontrol leak. I'll try to publish in the next few days (this weekend?), follow me for updates. In the meantime you can check out my criticism of the regulation here: https://maxim.tips/chatcontrol/

And if you're a white guy in America like me, I can't possibly express enough how it's not the right time to tell women how to think or feel about any of this right now. Please, I'm begging you - sit this one out.
