The plan is working - the mistake is thinking that it was ever supposed to work for the people, because it wasn't. Fuck James Browne, and every other landlord boot-licker in Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. A pox on the nation, every last one of them.

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?

Whoops! The rabble of pigs and slobs drafted in to replace the last rabble of pigs and slobs have turned out to be a bunch of pigs and slobs! But don’t worry, some other, equally odious pigs have heard you, and are preparing to declare: We’re sending in more pigs!

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks... HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless. Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it So where's the wall-to-wall coverage? Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

Please retweet.

I know there’s a lot going on with the Labour Party, but it is all in the bounds of democratic politics. This however, paid collusion between the leaders of two political parties in the run up to election, if true, is a scandal of staggering propositions

Why do AI companies love to talk about the risk that their products will cause the end of the world? It's not because they believe it; it's because investors love a disruptive, revolutionary technology, and nothing is more disruptive than the apocalypse.

It takes quite an imagination to think that the Greens are the party of hate in Britain, but they talk about taxing the rich so that’s what we’re going to be hearing for the next few years

‘The AI models happily came up with answers to questions about a supposedly accompanying image — even if the researchers never even showed it an image.‘ WHY, WHY, WHY would you use a language mimic trained on unfiltered data from the web to analyse medical scans?! AAAAAGGGGGGHHH!

We're just days away from the first sighting of the phrase one-table set-up in the wild this spring #snooker

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

"The errors are the latest example of a professional services firm grappling with the use of cutting-edge technology to speed up laborious research and cut down on staffing while also trying to maintain quality standards." - it's just greed. These firms have the money, they are just cutting corners.

The Irish government is doing more to house computers than it is to house people, and is somehow making less money from it. #SpeirGorm

IT'S REALLY FUCKED UP YOU GUYS

This week is the first at the Daily News since Heath Freeman's Alden Capital laid off our entire print production staff. It's embarrassing to open the paper we work so hard for each day and find mistakes like this. Is this the level of editing New Yorkers can count on going forward?

This is how it feels to be an artist when your local community decides to celebrate their culture by using the machine that turns culture into sausage meat.

They've done weekend meetings to sort all of this out. They've never done anything of the like to help the children they have made homeless. The only time they've shown any determination throughout the housing crisis was in making sure the evictions ban disappeared. This is unsustainable.

That the statement "rising costs are making it hard for my business to keep going," is seen as worthy of respect in a way that, "I can't afford a place to live," isn't tells you everything about the prevailing values of the Irish media. Some people matter, some people don't.

A boy plays football inside a church property-turned shelter for displaced people in Beirut yesterday. More than half a million people are now displaced by war across Lebanon, according to authorities. Almost 400 have been killed, including 83 children. Report soon, @irishtimes.com

tech CEO in 2026: My computer has anxiety. venture capitalist in 2026: Here, have 200 billion more dollars. child in 2006: My NeoPet is angry at me. mom in 2006: No it isn't sweetie, go to bed. mom to dad in 2006: We have an idiot boy. Our boy is a little idiot person. It's too late to fix him.

Exclusive: US military investigators believe it is likely that US forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school that killed scores of children on February 28 but have not yet reached a final conclusion or completed their investigation reut.rs/40b19JN

haters gonna hate www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-ira...

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

I'm begging the small local community groups in Ireland to please consider reframing their use of AI design work this way. The amount of drama and theatre groups in my sphere that I see using AI posters now just makes me sad.

How does he sleep at night?

There was a genesis to this phenomenon I've never seen spoken about. 8-10 years ago I used to be in a lot of online hobby spaces. They had long had a 'optimisation culture' where a many folk didn't do stuff guided by enjoyment, but by following an 'optimal' path....

Help us make hope normal again. Join the Green Party now.

Talking about climate change and poverty without talking about taxes for the rich is like being at a fire-fighters conference and not talking about water.

The British Army has had more no. 1 singles in Ireland (one) than The Cranberries, The Corrs, Aslan, Rory Gallagher and Van Morrison (none).

I can't find the thread anymore so I'll paraphrase but People pushing AI in the arts dont understand that art is the process not the result Writing is about the words and the meaning and how they slot together. Painting is about colour and texture and the physicality of the paintbrush on paper (1/?)

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

If you live in Ireland, remember that in recent memory a single rugby-loving bank CEO cost the taxpayer more than every single welfare recipient in the state COMBINED. #SpeirGorm

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

0.2% growth in productivity over five years from "AI". That's your revolution, lads, really? The sort of blip that could be reversed by a particularly rainy bank holiday.

Ireland's death toll for The Great Famine was estimated to be 20-30%..... There was a famine 100 years earlier with a similar 20% death toll. The ENGLISH civil war killed about 41% of the Irish population.

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

Polanski expertly dismantling the "rich people will move if we tax them" narrative, while Denham nimbly demonstrates how very patriotic such people are.
