The win reverberating around the world... Ending one of the longest droughts in sports history and breaking an Irish curse. Just look at these jubilant scenes as Mayo celebrates winning the All Ireland Gaelic Football Championship after waiting 75 years. Sport... it really matters.

Inspiring talks by Ministers @daracalleary @smytho @darganinstitute at the Dargan Forum in Dun Laoghaire.
'We need to bring citizens with us, too many feel disconnected from the digital transformation that's on the way. Those in this room know of the enormous benefits, that’s why events like this are so important.' A sincere thanks to Minister @daracalleary for being our key note speaker at our #DarganForum last week, who spoke about the work of our Enterprise Digital Advisory Forum at the @DeptEnterprise The @darganinstitute's #DarganForum is supported by @dlrcc @dot_ie @e_nation and @WesternDevCo

There is no analogue for WeChat outside of China. Not a single international app has the financial backbone, the creative vision, or the critical mass of users to rival WeChat's functions as an "everything app." That is... until 𝕏. Crucially, unlike WeChat, its built on the principle of free speech. Twitter may have lost its way in the decade-plus since it was built, but 𝕏 not only takes the platform back to its foundation, retaining its best features, but augments it into what will soon become the "everything app" for everyone -- with short and long-form video, written articles, livestreaming, and financial services. Is it any surprise that Facebook feels threatened by this? No, of course not, but 𝕏 also stands to upend the establishment media with citizen journalism. In an age where the truth has become a subjective concept through the pollution of language, a platform that stands for transparency, integrity, and most importantly--the truth--is not only something most people want, but is necessary for humanity if we are to be free. How do you see 𝕏 moving forward?
