The emblem of modern Ireland? Not fiddles and Guinness but a soulless shopping plaza | Emer McHugh (The Guardian)
|
|
The singer CMAT dances around a retail centre in a video for her new album. It is the elegy those of us who grew up in the post-Celtic tiger recession have been cravingYou wouldn't know it to look at the tourist board ads, but the emblem of modern Ireland is probably a shopping centre. And now that emblem has found its bard, in the form of Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, the Irish pop star and songwriter better known as CMAT. She is a woman wielding a creative energy that is completely her own, but which is also profoundly shaped by her experiences coming of age in a post-Celtic tiger, recession-era Ireland. This has never been clearer than on her new single, Euro-Country, from the forthcoming album of the same name – a project that reminds us that pop culture has the power to illuminate political and social realities that are otherwise being ignored. It is the elegy that we, Ireland's post-recession generation, needed – and it references at least two shopping centres.The Euro-Country album artwork is a ...

Tariff-Driven Rally Reverses In Lumber Market (ZeroHedge)

Tariff-Driven Rally Reverses In Lumber Market
There is some good news in the lumber market: contracts have plunged more than 14% in recent weeks, reversing highs last seen during the pandemic shortages. The sharp reversal comes as bets on tariff-driven cost pressures and lower interest rates failed to lift demand. At the same time, disappointing housing data and weak earnings across the housing industry underscored the trouble festering.
Traders ramped up bets that U.S. tariffs on Canadian imports and lower interest rates would lift costs and demand, but housing activity has failed to deliver any demand tailwinds.
There has been weak builder confidence (hitting 13-year lows), disappointing housing permits, and earnings misses at Home Depot, James Hardie Industries, Builders FirstSource, and UFP Industries.

Amazon Scraps New Irish AI Facility Amid Power Grid Shortfall
Authored by Charles Kennedy via OilPrice.com,
Amazon Web Services has cancelled plans for a €300-million server rack manufacturing plant in Dublin's Ballycoolin industrial zone, citing an inability to secure timely electricity access from Ireland's grid operator, ESB Networks, Irish media reported on Friday.
The facility, which would have supported Amazon's expanding AI infrastructure, was expected to generate over 500 local jobs, and the collapse of the project reflects growing tension between Ireland's ambitions to host digital infrastructure and the limits of its overstretched grid.
As first reported by The Irish Times and confirmed by Bloomberg, the decision follows months of failed attempts to guarantee grid connectivity for the planned facility.
Ireland's data center sector now consumes more than 20% of total national electricity demand, prompting the Commission for Regulation of Utilities to restrict new grid connec...
