Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

one of the funniest things about AI art is that everybody decided to do their aesthetic Direct Preference Optimization with what one billion morons think is cool rather than one thousand starving artists

this cat looks like one of the Old Master painters who's just slept with three servants, argued viciously with his annoying patron about the inferior ham he receives, and then painted his masterpiece out of spite

Didn't like them at the time, I was a punk... but bloody hell, go watch some Kid Creole and The Coconuts... what songs, what the performances... out of this world! Bonkers!

I reckon this is the alternative to sacking him. They've given him RIDICULOUS targets he can't and won't meet, with a MANIAC payout. I haven't read the small print, but he won't be collecting it, and if they're smart there will be clauses....

I’m thinking of writing a series of novels in a genre I’ll call Dark Satanic Mills & Boon, featuring William Blake and Barbara Cartland as star-crossed lovers who share a passion for devil worship.

Personally I find this tribute to Rolf Harris in bad taste.

This belief is a huge part of what has gotten us here: An obsessive insistence that “debate” should take precedence over all other values, including the *merits of the thing being debated.* It is a value antithetical to journalism and they keep pretending it is the only thing journalists should do

@michaeltsb.bsky.social Are you all posting where you are up to or what pub you collapse in? I'm not far from Thirsk and would like to bung you a pint or 5. Or is the evening all fruit juice, blister plasters and pasta?

I need to interrupt your evening with this joke Kid 1 just told me: What noise does James Bond's doorbell make? Dong. Ding Dong.

Shoutout to everyone who’s never had an identity crisis. You know who you are.

It’s the shortest day. Mind your head.

In the copse near me an unidentifiable creature is thrutching about it. On and on. Folk horror/ nature calling.

UK journalists talking about echo chambers when 0.2% of journalists are Black and 2.5% Asian and 51% of the most influential journalists went to private school is a bit of a joke
