Why I?ve Never Read a Sally Rooney Novel and I?m Not Going to Start Now Mon Oct 14, 2024 17:19 | Steven Tucker
Even Sally Rooney's usual army of fans are tiring of her hyper-right-on schtick, if the review of her latest novel in the Times is anything to go by, says Steven Tucker. Time to rediscover Ireland's real literature.

The Big Tech companies are setting up AI data centres that will consume vast amounts of electricity ? OpenAI alone wants to create seven that will consume more electricity per year than the UK. So much for Net Zero.

This is a site for news, not reproduced stuff from newspapers, in future a link will suffice,
Eoin Maher
The article wasn't reposted - a concise summary and a link was given. This is a follow on from an earlier Indymedia.ie story
http://www.indymedia.ie/cgi-bin/newswire.cgi?id=1939
and i was very interested to get an update.
If I _just_ post a link then how do you know if you want to click it or not? I summarised in a very concise way. Also I don't understand your implication that this is not news somehow.
You can provide a summery and context for the article and then provide a link. If the reader is interested enough they will click on the link.
Palast is an honourary member of IMC Ireland co-op and one of the best journalists on the planet.
This reposting is good and is mannerly in all ways - leave this guy alone - or I'll get greg to gang up on yiz
look above! That's EXACTLY what I did and what Eoin is complaining about. See the short summary giving context and the link attached to it, or am I misunderstanding what you're saying?
Thanks Glutton Man
I think your summary was very helpful especially as there is nothing in the link to tell anyone that this is an article by Greg Palast. I really don't get the point made by Eoin, if you had just put the link I mightn't have bothered going to have a look.
As it happens I was waiting to hear Greg Palast's angle on the coup in Venezuela as he saw it coming for a while. Furthermore your last sentence was important as it informs people who the man is and any publicity for him can only be a good thing as he is in the business of hunting down the hard facts about the rotten people at the top. So thanks again
