Oh no. They are playing Sex on Fire on RTÉ Gold.

Starmer's Director of Communication Tim Allan has stepped down!t

Who would have guessed strip mining the sea has had some consequences?

I literally have nothing to play cassettes on, but someone on Depop is randomly selling a copy of Return of The Rentals, and I'm really struggling not to buy it.

Lads, sorry to rub it in to the East of the country, but this is a perfect Spring day. #speirgorm

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

I keep hearing that wokeness is dead but if that’s true how come there’s a TV show about a romance between two gay men who play hockey but no TV shows about a romance between two straight men who play hockey??

doctor: well mr. yoda, we fixed the language center of your brain. you should talk totally normal now yoda: thanks dude

Is now the time to admit that my first teenage band used to cover Kryptonite?

Pixelated boat is right. I made a whole podcast about this fact podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/b...

Legitimately lolled at this

Yeah, I really do wish everyone would stop using Substack. It always sucks to see a new newsletter there. Most people have no idea about it as a company and see it as the default.

Yes. Yes it is.

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot. I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

In which the makers of Teen Titans Go come up with a MUCH better title for a public domain Pooh Bear horror movie.

Vroom vroom! Beep beep!

Weird how the harder they try to nato us, the more the population says no..

'Granted, if our problem were orcs or the Dark Lord Sauron or something, then it would be easier to sympathise with Martin’s insistence that he is not Gandalf. Until then, it seems fair enough to ask for some semblance of a real, timely solution.' This week's column is about Magic Wand Micheál.

I don’t want to depress you all but the entire media and political class will have moved on from this latest Trump racist outburst by tomorrow, Monday at the very latest. He gets away with it every time - because he is allowed to get away with it, and because he floods the zone.

I'm glad we've finally gotten to the logical conclusion of -Gate

Can't wait for the next story in the Gruffalo Expanded Universe (GEU)

Half the country under water, but this is what Jack Chambers and this government think of Ireland's commitment to climate action, as if we needed any further proof that they couldn't give a shit. I assume he owns a house on a hill.

Only 664 more people needed for us to pass our threshold. Please, please, if you haven't signed already. Don't presume others will. Sign and share 🇵🇸🙏🇵🇸🙏 #Speirgorm #Ireland #SixNations

C'mon folks, only 721 people to go and we've passed the Irish threshold. If you haven't signed this already, why not? It's an important EU citizen led initiative that needs 7 countries to pass their threshold, and then the EU government machine is forced to talk about it. #Speirgorm #IrishSky

Something perverse about using food-scented fragrances in a toilet to mask the smells, my work uses Wild Berries and it's nasty!

ID checking for online services has been the dogwhistle for internet censorship for longer THAN I HAVE BEEN ALIVE

the Swiss mixed doubles curling team is married and when their game ended the Peacock stream just showed them playing with their Curling Baby for like 5 minutes with the Olympics music playing

Why won't the government answer a simple question? It's yes or no? Is there a criminal investigation into X itself? This government is more concerned about being viewed favourably by Big Tech than protecting the public. We must stop these harmful tools being used to produce horrific content.

ME: I caught Monocle Guy stealing my leftovers again. BOSS: Is that true? MONOCLE GUY: (monocle popping off) Good heavens!! ME: He’s not actually surprised. BOSS: Really? He seems surprised. MONOCLE GUY: (another monocle popping off) Dearest me!! ME: No, he’s doing a bit. BOSS: Hm. I don’t know

I think people are sleeping on how good Buck Meek is as a solo artist honestly

Fianna Fáil TD Michael Cahill claimed he was driving at 190km/h because he was eager to facilitate a meeting with the parents of children with profound disabilities. Last week he voted against providing disabled people with an emergency winter payment of €400. #spéirgorm 1/3

Cabinet will be told today that Ireland’s EU presidency (and special ministerial meetings on AI) will include plans to ban all AI models within the EU from having undressing/nudification features All of Ireland’s ‘official’ concern thus far has been about Grok-as-an-X-account and not Grok-as-app

I'm buying more music this year and wondering why more artists aren't selling their stuff on Bandcamp? (Bandcamp Friday is tomorrow, by the by) I'm not sure what the best store is, Qobuz?

It's weird to be in Kerry and it be one of the drier places in Ireland

Minimizing the window where I read about how our world is a joke and we're at the mercy of megalomaniacal evil perverts. Logging on to the work zoom. "Heyyyy I'm good! How are you?"

Killarney's big year continues! Ruairí O'Flaherty has been nominated four times this year for his mastering work, and he also won for being part of the team that mastered Kendrick Lamar and SZA's Record of the Year, "Luther." www.radiokerry.ie/news/grammy-...

We are at 89% of the signatures needed. France is at 300%! Are we worse than the French?? THE FRENCH!!

Minister for Environment Darragh O'Brien is attempting to rush through approval for a €900 million LNG reserve at the cost of the taxpayer & the planet. The proposed legislation would give the Minister full responsibility for the planning application & completely change the normal planning process.

I'm sorry, I thought this was a free country!

Wage increases, health and safety regulations, refusing mining licenses, legislating for the public good will become almost impossible and incredibly costly
