That poxy “unwelcome” tho What a prick

End of days

Err…

Anand. Seems like decent guy But endlessly giving Brexit & its voters benefit of the doubt for 10 years now Honestly. It’s far far easier to just call Brexit what it was and is A lie A blank cheque to multiple conflicted parties For that reason it will never be resolved unless U.K. cops on

NEW: A stunning new report claims that the Pentagon summoned Pope Leo XIV’s top American diplomat and threatened him after the U.S.-born pontiff gave his January state-of-the-world address. Leo used the address to denounce a world ruled by “a diplomacy based on force” and “zeal for war.”

“Snort it! Go on. You know you want to. And when you do so god help us we will plaster you all over our front page and DO YOU Now Subscribe for a month for the low low price of….” Absolute scum

American tech bloggers on AI founders: “holy crap - these guys are some of the WORST!” American tech bloggers on every AI Announcement: “isn’t AI fantastic!? BRILLIANT!!”

In Irish news Some very weird forces behind all this

7 months later and rereading so many of these same developers and commentators, I’m saying I called this one right Reading Gruber’s comments this week. Sheesh

Everyone still on X is literally suspect Wether they realise it or not But especially if they disagree or not

"The AI Great Leap Forward" leehanchung.github.io/blogs/2026/0... > The mandate today is identical, just swap the nouns. Every company, every function, every individual contributor is expected to close the AI gap. Ship AI features. Build agents. Automate workflows. 👇 > The Famine Comes Later

The kids now know they can't trust the adults. So they're engaging in resistance in different ways. If you're not seeing that? It's because you're one of the adults they don't trust.

Like Chernobyl 🤦

You can hear the sneer in Jenrick's words, can't you?

Bloody hell. Researchers invented a disease, published two fake papers to see if LLM’s would ingest them and kick them up as fact — and then it broke containment and all the major AI’s bought in. Information pollution. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

He’s never ever done anything nice has he, he’s never cooked a meal, he’s never grown any fruit or vegetables, he’s never planted any plants or tended a garden - for Trump everything is pure destruction.

Grifters will grift, yes, but this is beyond brazen. Infantino believes he can get away with anything and everything. And he does, thanks to the abject subservience of the likes of the FA's Debbie Hewitt, who should be taken to task but never is. Who should face the media, but won't.

Donnie Brasco is king. A bunch of tawdry losers at the bottom of the heap

Breaking: Trump orders the dismantling of the US Forest Service. All regional offices are being shut down and the research program destroyed.

Just spent 2 hours at the fuel protest at the bottom of O'Connell Street and any notion that its a farmers protest is misguided. It may have started out as one but it has become something else entirely, fueled by Facebook and Twitter's algorithms telling people what to get mad at.

It's not about replacing labor, it's the principle of paying wages they object to.

Strong confirm

A few of my friends have fallen to far-right talking points in the last decade, and they're always stunned that others are offended. Facebook update: "The biggest problem is in society these days is Muslims". (*OUTRAGED, SHOCKED REPLIES*) Reply: "Why are you all BEING like this? What did I say?"

There was once a point where you could justify this kind of Theon Greyjoy bullshit. But it's now clear what it is: the tacit support of genocidal rhetoric, which serves to encourage, not obstruct, his actions.

Who's one of the main organisers of the Dublin fuel protest? ( If you want to protest about fuel price rises, do it outside the US and Israeli embassies) It's James Geoghegan, a racist, climate change denying bigot.

Is she doing a costanza and just turning up for work after being fired?

Nobody anywhere should harbor any doubt or confusion, now or forevermore, as to how or why so many Trump businesses - including casinos - went belly up.

This can't go viral enough.

I think comparing AI to the atomic bomb (in terms of science & ethics) is flawed because once the bomb existed that was that, no way back, whereas AI companies could in fact make better decisions at every stage. They don't have to keep releasing new models regardless of the consequences

there has never ever been another man with this many photos where he looks like his mom just walked in on him jerking off

It's almost as if they are speaking to each other behind the scenes rather than Tweeting.

The new VERY hagriographic Michael Jackson biopic starring MJ's nephew is out at the end of the month. But back in 2004 an unauthorised and EQUALLY flattering biopic was made in Canada. Here is a clip and I promise you have NO idea where it's going. I haven't done a single edit here.

Greece bans social media for under-15s, starting next January. France and Portugal close to it. Spain, UK, Denmark, others not far off. Cautionary note: Australia's first big update since its ban finds 70% still using platforms and no fall in teen abuse www.independent.ie/world-news/g...

I have encountered and engaged with many Trump supporters, hearing them patiently out each time: and every single one of them, whether beneath a veneer of politeness or not, exhibited a fundamental spite and meanness about their fellow human beings that I found horrifying.

“Don’t broadcast this story. Too much nuance and explanation required and the ai agent won’t know what to do with it”

The shitification of news continues, and boosted uncritically by @pressgazette.co.uk

Godammit AI If you are going to promise to remove the drudgery to free up people to do more interesting things, then A) let’s see the more interesting things because this list is some buuuulshit if a human came up with it B) if it’s AI producing the list then it isn’t even doing drudgery.

Great piece of in-depth reporting on a real-world, chalk-face problem from @theguardian.com

Customer: Why is the pub such a mess‽ Barman: A famous Spanish actor came in earlier, got really drunk and smashed the place up! Customer: Javier Bardem? Barman: No but if he does it again I will for sure.

Ha. This is spot on But also touches on so much of the “tone” politics that people seem to like

1/ This Yanis Varoufakis screed made me so angry the only way I can salvage my day is to go through it line by line as catharsis. You are welcome to come on the journey toward my aneurism with me. An angry h/t to @sianushka.bsky.social for bringing this into my life. unherd.com/2026/04/why-...

Very impressed with Stanley Tucci’s Pet Shop Boys cover band. Played some real deep cut shit, too.

Reminder.

I can’t think of any of the prospective prime ministers who would have played it *better*. Internal or external challenger. And I’m pretty zoned out of Labour support at present.

Checked out reactions to the Kanye story on X and Facebook comments. Yikes. Bluesky has many problems but at least you’re not swimming in foul multidirectional racism every day.

Did you hear the story of the one man $1.8 billion business built by AI as portrayed in the @nytimes.com? Turns out basically every aspect of that story is bullshit and the story should be retracted.

The time between fossil fuel crises is just going to keep shrinking, until there's no discrete single "crisis" - just one unbroken prolonged state of global suffering due to fossil fuel unreliability The best time to ditch fossil fuels was 30 years ago. The second best time is now

A reminder that this is the same "unhinged" war and President the Daily Mail has spent weeks berating Keir Starmer for not joining and following

U.K. prime minister deals with a situation directly within jurisdiction. That seems fair Not much he can do about lunatic in Washington. Closing airbases is an option. But there would be consequences How would YOU deal with those consequences Zack? Handling a madman isn’t a binary easy win
