Today I have learnt about the deliriant history of the ultra-far right ex professor Enoch Burke.
The summary of the history is that while this guy was professor he refused to call by her new name a trans student, was finally fired, but keeps going to the school he was fired from in *2022*, and he has been arrested a number of times.
You can learn more about this case in this article from The Irish Times:
Without paywall:

This is the original tweet that made me realise about this deliriant history: A tweet from Michael McDoormat, @GlassHalfArsed, saying, 'Every 9 minutes a man is arrested in Ireland. This is that man.' Followed by a photo of Enoch Burke. Lol

Since ChatGPT came out in late 2022, over *half a million* tech workers have been laid off. That fact, and their voices, aren't really shaping the conversation about AI, and what "AI" really means in culture. So I started to get into it: anildash.com/2026/01/06/500k-t
