The ban risks treating children as the problem rather than addressing the companies..that create the risks in the first place.” The ban comes after mounting reports of Big Tech companies’ efforts to keep all users…on their platforms for as long as possible using algorithms and “infinite scrolling.”

Oh man, that was SO GOOD. Based on audience reactions I think a lot of people weren’t familiar with the story? “It got kind of heavy toward the end.” - guy waiting for the elevator…

Gorgeous. Plus “And then there’s a bomb shelter, which was added some 15 feet below the studio in the early 1960s, a clear nod to the Cold War era, and using, “the same balloon and pneumatic-sprayed concrete approach,” said Mr. Cleckler.”. I’ll take it! I wish.

You know you’re radioactive when even Banjo Boy says no 😂

Can't believe the EU didn't go for Thing It Already Has, But On London Rules.

‘If I can stop one heart from breaking, 
I shall not live in vain; 
If I can ease one life the aching, 
Or cool one pain, 
Or help one fainting robin 
Unto his nest again, 
I shall not live in vain.’ ~ Emily Dickinson. #BookWormSat

Take care out in London today with the UTK march happening. If you see this collosal fanny about, be sure and tell him I've still got the video of him in the school play.

I just want rock band back in some iteration. My original guitar is busted, tho it makes a nice ornament in the games room.

"I would never, ever erode his incredible and timeless performances by teaching a machine to sound like him. His voice and delivery was human, and I'm forever grateful I got to write for him."

"Our tech overlords have refused to use their fortunes to prepare us for the coming AI job apocalypse ... Instead, they've aligned with politicians bent on the destruction of the social safety net and the privatization of public services for the direct benefit of the ultra-wealthy."

a walk into town on a Saturday morning for a quiet coffee a scone and a blank notebook page in front of me. I'm grateful. When you feel it, send it out . x

I absolutely agree with this take. The billionaire media class want you to think that all hope is lost and we should just accept a Reform gov. But reform did not do as well as they would have you believe. Yes they won a lot of councillors but they did not win overall control of many councils.

"Plucky food heroes" is sometimes just code for people who were given a huge financial leg up by parents. Newspapers often leave out the privilege part of puff pieces and I'm not sure why. I assume this relates to many other industries too. Just a generalisation aimed at nobody in particular btw.

You see stories like this about creators, over and over and over again. Meanwhile, executives coast along the road to millions, paved with the bodies of dead creatives.

Almost everything done in/to Dublin - apart from the pedestrianisation of some streets - is totally lacking in fun, wit & joy.

This morning was cold FIRE. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. #ireland

One of our customers bought me this. I never read non-fiction as I get enough of that in life but as it’s a gift will have to make an exception. He tells me it’s really excellent.

Nice photos from inside the Fruit and Vegetable Market revamp, from a presentation at a Dublin City Council meeting.
