[Arthur 🇺🇸 @PotatoWaffen_]

When you count both Catholics and Protestants, Irish is the second largest ethnic group in America.

[Plastic Paddy @plasticpad]

Generally agreed. The Cold War reinforced the Leftist Irish nationalist mindset both within and outside the movement. No one in Sinn Fein/aligned movements is willing to countersignal this, though.

[Searfaiċ @rinagaelriochta]

I'm tired
Historical illiteracy is at an all time high.
The Irish nationalist movement up until the 1960s was almost entirely Catholic and conservative. Learn.

As put by @Zommervogel, the most important quality today is risk tolerance. The cause of the shortage of “great men” (insofar as we considered the Kissingers etc. of the world to be ‘great’) is the fact that the Ivy Leaguers are convinced that they cannot do what interests them.

For those young enough to know, the iCarly theme song was clearly some esoteric nationalistic anthem.

“Wake up, members of my nation! It’s your time to be!”

Trump for Irish unification. What say ye “Anglo-American patriots”?

I need @phaedoneleios’s opinion on this whole Navier-Stokes situation

[Plastic Paddy @plasticpad]

Grigori Perelman is probably not online enough to hear about this but wonder what he’d think. I think we can all guess, though.

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics.

The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.

The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.

@aceniederhoff Sort of an ID problem here. Much of the Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking region) is rural & away from hubs of migration. Don’t have all the data, but it seems as though native Irish are moving towards cities and (if historical trends hold) migrant populations won’t want to stay rural.

[Plastic Paddy @plasticpad]

At times, one can’t help but wonder if the entire crux of Irish nationalism has been simply not being “British.”

Obviously people have way more to fear from Ring/Nest cameras/democratized panopticon than Flock. As if someone at Flock corporate cares what you’re doing more than your nosey neighbor Becky.

Trad who doesn’t believe in praying in the vernacular and has to Google Translate ‘deportations.’

@Rylieparis05 “Save” a state which Trump carried by 22 points

[Plastic Paddy @plasticpad]

It’s over if Trump doesn’t endorse Vance

[Richard Hanania @RichardHanania]

Trump always says he's the greatest president since perhaps Abraham Lincoln.

But Republican voters disagree, and think Lincoln is nothing compared to Trump.

The 2A became a non-issue in the matter of like 18 months. I just can’t decide which 18 months it is.

@TheAutumnalFire @firealarm99 Prep school lax/Nelk Boys crowd was almost one for one the same (include the extra 20-25% of prep/prep-adjacent hockey players who didn’t play lax.) Just beginning vs. beginning-of-end of the same era

My DNA results glad to report I’m 92% human!
The 8% is Irish

Lane-splitting legality and bike lanes should be mutually exclusive.

[Plastic Paddy @plasticpad]

Bannon just did an interview about this in Politico, but if the American Left finds an equivalent to Andy Burnham it spells trouble for the GOP. I don’t agree with the assessment that the Right is aware of/actionable against the possibility of this.
