A year ago I made a big database of odd incidents in Europe, like hacks, arson, airport disruption, sabotage, weird inflammatory pranks involving pigs’ heads and so on, that were confidently and publicly linked to Russia by investigators irishtimes.com/world/europe/…

The topic of the day has been the strikes on Yandex data centers and whether they affect the Russian bot/troll army.
There have been some initial research done on this, and the most interesting finding comes from Reddit: after the strikes, many US-related subreddits lost a lot of traffic. Same happened in German and Irish subreddits.
As most of you know, Reddit is one of the most popular sources of information for LLMs, and I have zero doubt that Russians are actively trying to steer conversations across the platform to favor their narratives.
Full analysis and methodology here:

Face à la dégradation de la situation internationale, j’ai réuni les chefs de parti représentés au Parlement pour faire le point. teapawt.org/i/broadcasts/1PKqrNpNA…
Good.
Ireland has quietly delivered five air defense radar systems, likely Giraffe Mk IVs, alongside 34 vehicles and three bomb disposal robots to Ukraine. The radars, mounted on tracked platforms, can detect low-flying threats up to 50 km away. Ireland also pledged €66M via the EU for non-lethal support.
Nice to see this- some of my @asranetwork collaborators included.

Well done @think_or_swim ! Looking forward to joining you for the launch on the 4th.
Today’s the day! Beyond delighted to finally have my hands on copies of THE LIE OF THE LAND, just three weeks ahead of publication on Sept 4th via @PenguinIEBooks
Pleased to share our new @ASRA Network paper in Nature Communications. We present a new framework to assess globally interconnected risks and crises. Read the paper: doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-6…
It's schematic, but I think this is the most accurate dynamic global systemic risk model you'll find. Likelihood of global GDP. Will answer questions.
Giving a figure like this (64 B) is meaningless. Shocks like this are of a scale that large-scale cascading consequences would be devastating, but subject to deep uncertainty.
The Irish economy is at risk of losing €64 billion if a pipeline that exports gas from UK is the target of “physical sabotage”, according to Gas Networks Ireland businesspost.ie/esg-energy/i…

I have a proposal for An Post/ Government. In a world of growing risk, the AP network should provide national community resilience/ preparedness support complementing other services. @NewstalkFM

I'm reading @DonnachaDCU 's new book. A strong thumbs-up.
Detailed review of my new book "Unfinished Empire" in this weekend's @Independent_ie

ITS Been a great to give a workshop/scenario/exercise at the #ASRA Currents of Change Symposium . Can't imagine another forum hosting such a topic+ bringing together such informed + relevant participants: Can We Prepare for Catastrophic Systemic Failure? An interactive exercise.

I’m looking forward to @ASRA Network’s Currents of Change symposium beginning this weekend, the first trans-disciplinary, global symposium dedicated to action on systemic risk. More here:

There's a spectacular gap between the public + political parties assessment of priorities, and escalating global systemic risk. Real priority 1: a national resilience & preparedness strategy. P2: get moving asap. There is no country in EU as complacent as Ireland.
