Ireland has entered a decisive decade for climate and environmental policy. After years of promises and partial steps, the government has approved the Climate Action Plan 2025, set out new legislation on air quality, and confronted the European Union’s warning of potential multi-billion-euro fines if targets are missed. The stakes have never been higher: this is not simply about compliance with Brussels, but about the health of communities, the resilience of farmland, and the legacy left to future generations.

Haus Dosan in Seoul is more than a store. It is the flagship concept space of Gentle Monster, where architecture, contemporary art, sound, and even gastronomy merge into one immersive performance. Buying a pair of glasses here feels less like shopping and more like walking through a curated exhibition.

US President Donald Trump has said that America’s major cities could be used as “training grounds” for the military, describing unrest at home as the nation’s “enemy from within.”

Speaking at a tightly guarded gathering of hundreds of senior officers at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia, Trump argued that deploying troops in cities would help restore order and “straighten out unsafe places.”

Ireland is bracing itself as Storm Amy sweeps across the country, bringing dangerous winds, heavy rainfall and widespread disruption. Met Éireann has placed a Status Red wind warning for Donegal from 4pm to 6pm, while an Orange warning covers Clare, Donegal, Galway, Leitrim, Mayo and Sligo until 10pm. A nationwide Yellow warning for wind is also in force until midnight, with Galway and Kerry additionally under a Yellow rain warning. A Red marine alert is active from 2pm to 8pm, forecasting “violent” storm force 11 winds along the Atlantic coast. The National Directorate for Fire and Emergency Management has warned of a significant flooding threat in Kerry’s mountains, west Cork, west Limerick, as well as Donegal, Galway, Leitrim and Roscommon. Keith Leonard, director of the NDFEM, urged people to stay cautious, pointing out that even after the storm passes roads may remain flooded and trees could be down.

Every generation has its own way of believing in luck.
 Once upon a time, people whispered prayers before rolling dice. Then came lottery tickets and the familiar promise: “This time I’ll win for sure.” Today, luck lives inside an app interface — bright, tokenized, and glowing on our screens. The impulse, though, hasn’t changed. Humans still want to bargain with fate. Only now we do it with a phone in one hand and a latte in the other.

Storm Éowyn in January 2025 wasn’t just bad weather — it was a reckoning. Winds of 182 kilometres per hour tore across the island, leaving more than seven hundred thousand homes and businesses without power and forcing hundreds of thousands to boil their drinking water. The state electricity company described the damage as “unprecedented.” It took days to restore basic services. Nine months later Storm Amy arrived, breaking more records and more nerves. At this point, calling them natural disasters feels dishonest. These storms are policy failures.

Ireland is entering a moment when digital trends are transforming everyday life faster than society can fully articulate what is happening. These shifts aren’t loud or theatrical; they’re not expressed through protests or political speeches. They are subtle, steady, and deeply rooted in how people think, communicate, rest, consume content, and construct their identities. The digital world has quietly become the new terrain of Irish life — a place where work unfolds, culture evolves, friendships form, and inner calm is sought.

December has never been quiet. The month traditionally unfolds in a whirl of street lights, charity markets, packed cafés, hurried shoppers carrying bright bags through damp air, and the unmistakable seasonal rhythm that turns the entire country into a living postcard.

Yet in 2025 something feels different. The noise is softer. The crowds move slower. And behind every purchase there seems to be a moment of thought — a pause, a choice, an intention.

France and Ireland have become two contrasting laboratories for Europe’s digital transformation. Their strategies are not merely national preferences but competing philosophies that increasingly shape the EU’s regulatory direction. One represents a sovereignty-driven, protection-first model; the other, an openness-driven, innovation-first ecosystem. Understanding these divergent paths is essential because Europe’s economic competitiveness, AI governance and digital consumer protections are now forming precisely at the intersection between Paris and Dublin.

Europe has never belonged solely to kings, emperors and philosophers. In its shadows lived another lineage of characters — thieves, fugitives, saboteurs, hackers and bandits who challenged governments, vanished across borders, and rewrote the rules with a confidence that still unsettles the continent. They were not heroes, and they certainly were not moral examples, yet their stories refuse to disappear. Something about them speaks to Europe itself: a place built on order and obsessed with those who dare to break it.

Roblox is often dismissed as a children’s game — a blocky, chaotic platform people assume they will eventually outgrow. That assumption has become one of the biggest misunderstandings in modern gaming culture.

For years, gambling regulation followed a familiar ritual.
Licences were issued. Age checks were enforced. Documents were collected. As long as an operator could demonstrate formal compliance, the system considered its job done.

For decades, gambling regulation operated on a simple principle: react when something goes wrong.
A complaint was filed. A threshold was crossed. A rule was broken. Only then did regulators intervene.

That logic no longer holds.

The most profound regulatory shift of the post-reset era is not stricter rules, but a different understanding of risk itself. In modern gambling regulation, risk is no longer something that appears after harm occurs. It is something that can be detected, modelled and acted upon in advance.

This is the essence of behavioural regulation — the moment when gambling oversight moved from rule enforcement to real-time behavioural analysis.

Responsible Gaming by Design describes a fundamental shift in how gambling platforms are built and evaluated. It marks the point at which responsibility stops being an auxiliary layer and becomes part of the product’s core logic. What was once treated as a set of optional tools is now embedded directly into user experience, customer management systems and algorithms — and assessed by regulators as a licensing requirement rather than a matter of corporate ethics.

Platform Liability refers to the growing legal responsibility of gambling operators for the consequences of player behaviour occurring on their platforms. In the post-reset regulatory environment, liability no longer stops at formal compliance. It extends into how systems identify, measure and respond to risk in real time.

Affordability Checks have become the most disputed instrument in contemporary gambling regulation. More than any other control mechanism, they expose the fault line between player protection, platform liability and commercial sustainability. Where earlier regulatory tools focused on legality, affordability focuses on proportionality — not whether gambling is permitted, but whether continued play remains defensible.

For years, Anti-Money Laundering was treated as an inconvenience — something operators tolerated, regulators glanced at, and players never saw. That fiction ended. In 2026, AML is no longer a function or a formality. It is the backbone of the gambling industry. It decides how money moves, when it stops, how users are classified, and who is quietly pushed out of the system. What once lived in the background now governs the game.
