The ongoing digitisation of the world and every service we use will bring us to our knees. I say that as someone who has worked in technology for 30 years and has seen various iterations of so called digital transformation. Business continuity and resilience are essential, but...
It’s fair to be frustrated right now, I’m stuck myself as a regular Revolut user, but this isn’t primarily their problem.
it’s a Google Cloud issue that has affected several other banks and delivery services.

Suicide doesn’t discriminate; it affects anyone, anywhere, regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status or mental health history. This is why suicide prevention is everyone’s responsibility.
We have a duty to look out for our friends, family, colleagues and even strangers who might be struggling with suicidal thoughts. It’s not enough to assume someone is “fine” or that they’ll “get over it”. We must actively listen support and connect them with resources that can help.
One of the most important things we can do is break down the stigma surrounding mental health and suicide. We need to create open and safe spaces for people to discuss their struggles without fear of judgement or shame. By normalising conversations about mental health and suicide, we can encourage people to seek help.
It’s also crucial to educate ourselves on the warning signs of suicide and know how to intervene if we suspect someone is at risk. Simple acts of kindness and compassion can make a huge difference to someone who is struggling.
Suicide prevention isn’t just the responsibility of mental health professionals or suicide hotlines; it’s a collective effort that requires all of us to be vigilant and proactive in supporting those around us. Let’s come together to break the silence, de-stigmatise mental health and show compassion and empathy to those who need it most.
Remember, suicide prevention is everyone’s business 💜

Thr Power of The First Follower.
Hace 16 años, un hombre se encontraba solo en una colina cubierta de hierba durante un festival de música en el estado de Washington, Estados Unidos, y comenzó a bailar solo.
La gente lo miró y luego desvió la vista.
Algunos se rieron.
Su compañero de habitación se acercó y le advirtió que lo estaban filmando.
No se detuvo.
Entonces un desconocido se levantó y se unió a él.
Luego otro.
Entonces la ladera se inclinó.
En cuestión de minutos, cientos de personas corrían desde el otro lado del campo para ser parte de algo que, treinta segundos antes, había sido un hombre del que se reían en un campo.
Alguien que filmaba desde lo alto de la colina dijo en voz baja:
"Mira lo que un hombre solo puede llegar a hacer. Solo un hombre puede cambiar el mundo".
El vídeo se viralizó en internet en 2009.
El emprendedor Derek Sivers lo proyectó en una conferencia TED para explicar cómo empiezan realmente los movimientos sociales.
No con la primera persona lo suficientemente valiente como para iniciarlos, argumentó, sino con la primera persona dispuesta a unirse a ellos.
Collin Wynter, el hombre que bailaba solo, dijo después que no tenía ni idea de que hubiera hecho algo especial. Simplemente estaba cansado de ver a todo el mundo sentado sin moverse.

Worst ever recorded.

Powerful and utterly upsetting.
Today in the Irish Examiner.
800 items NOT allowed into Gaza and it's only half the actual list.
4 standout for me:
- Toys
- Crutches
- Babies nappies
- Cancer medication
Israel PREVENTS the very basics of life

Anyone else remember a load of balls being reported at the time that the gigs sold out in record time??!
The Weeknd is playing in Dublin (quite fittingly) this weekend – but there are still thousands of unsold tickets for both of his Croke Park gigs. jrnl.ie/7134406

For anyone feeling bad about A-levels? I failed my GCSEs, got pregnant at 15, left school & was homeless. I cleaned toilets for years.
I'm a university professor now. Im an international best selling author. I'm happy

The USA a few weeks ago murdered 180 kids just like this.
As they sat in school a missile blew them to pieces.
Trump still denies it and sat here smiling.
But now it's "let's believe in love" - tomorrow we will murder more kids in Gaza & Iran.

In 2009 six doctors who wanted to reopen the inquest into his death were told "evidence relating to Kelly's death was to be kept secret for 70 years".
On this day in 2003, David Kelly, the man who tried to warn the world about the lies of the British government’s claims that Iraq possessed WMDs to justify the illegal invasion, was found dead.
He was one of Britain's most respected weapons experts and raised concerns that the government's case for war had been exaggerated.
The BBC reported that the infamous claim Iraq could deploy weapons of mass destruction within 45 minutes had been "sexed up" to strengthen the case for invasion. Dr. Kelly was identified as the source.
Just days later, on the 18th of July 2003, he was found dead near his home, the official story was that he had committed suicide. Many do not believe that narrative.
No stockpiles of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction were ever found. David Kelly was proven right, as Iraq was smouldering in ruin.
1 million people were killed as a result of George W. Bush’s and Tony Blair’s lies. The entire region was destabilised, and ISIS and Al Qaeda rose as a result.

This still hasn’t been located. Someone not on Twitter/X may have it. The place is crawling with Dubs and other visitors, so ask any of your pals if they have it — they may not know who lost it, or how to get it back. Contact Geraldine if it’s found, and please RT. Thank you.
A young girl has lost her cochlear implant on curracloe beach Wexford this weekend. It seems someone may have found it as it’s last location has pinged on this map. If anyone has it, finds it or hears where it is please do get in touch. Thanks
