Perfect

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Reminds me of the Blackadder scene where Bob says, "I want to see a war fought so badly", getting the response, "you've come to the right place; a war hasn't been fought this badly since Olaf the Hairy, king of all the Vikings, ordered 10,000 helmets with the horns on the inside."

Ok, a genuine LOL at the end of this 🤣

Every time a pedestrian hurries through a crosswalk it's a victory for car culture

That time Ronnie Drew was nearly driven mad by a parrot in Dublin zoo

Can someone explain to me what it makes more sense to show only the next bus and not the next few buses like it used to?

This is so tragic it's actually incredibly funny

NEW: Pete Hegseth's pastor and mentor says the United States should ban public Masses, Marian processions, and Corpus Christi devotions. Hegseth invited the anti-Catholic preacher to lead a prayer service at the Pentagon on February 14.

If Iran was ruining your reputation as a safe place for westerners to get rich, this seems like an ideal way to reassure everyone...

Conservatives were on the record in January 2023 in the NYT saying explicitly that they targeted trans youth to be able to ban transitioning for everyone. They admitted it but then every dumb centrist was like "but what about the evidence on trans youth." And here we are.

If you were a tourist on a bus going into Dublin City centre, and you heard an automated announcement saying "Next Stop: Town Centre", do you think you'd confidently know they meant Rathmines Town Centre?

I knew I had seen a similar thing somewhere before Labour is a far right party

In the 1997 dystopian scifi film Gattaca, rapid DNA testing is used to determine social class and job eligibility. In 2026 UK, women wanting to participate in athletics must pay a £185 gender tax to take part in a genetic lottery where some will be ineligble due to previously unknown chromosones.

Riley’s Law is a theory the same way gravity is

Assuming true, it feels like a remarkable admission of weakness that the option of preventing an Israeli attack was apparently not on the table...

Less than 2 months ago EU leaders were insisting on strategic independence from an increasingly aggressive US demanding territorial expansion in Greenland. Now, they're tripping over their heels to join that US in an illegal war of aggression and regime change. What weak cowards with short memories.

Even by Trump's standards, this is chilling; it's aimed at everybody, not exclusively Iran.

The point is they want these people killed, not displaced

They were all merely Special Operations

Operation Epic Fury at my Polling Figures

Not The Onion

I’m no political expert, but I think Keir Starmer may have gone a bit far in that letter by calling the Green Party a “bunch of cunts”.

This is why they keep claiming the victor cheated. It's more palatable than the idea everyone has recognised that they're ignorant sacks of shit...

What else is there to say but: these people were warned and warned and warned again about this, going back well over ten years and further, and their constant response was: absolutely fuck you, you are all idiots and we are the smart, Sensible people whom understand what the public like and want.

This probably sounds very purist, but we shouldn't need the fear of being the eventual victims to stand up for human dignity...

The more things change...etc...

From the man who brought you culture wars against; - immigrants, - refugees, - trans people, - disabled children at school, - disabled adults - anti-genocide protesters, - anti extinction protesters...

Are we to assume that McDowell writes his articles with a pen?

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

We had a film warning about this already in 1983...we're determined to learn nothing...

This diagram changed how I see a lot of things (but I don't know enough to know of it's true)

New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF

We firmly oppose this measure, as existing evidence indicates that such laws do not, in fact, protect people who cycle. The union should be calling for better active transport infrastructure instead of deflecting responsibility to the most vulnerable people on the roads.

Not the key point, but all the 'Andrew Mountbatten Windsor' coverage shows how quickly and easily the entire UK media complex can switch to someone's new name/title, even after using their old one for decades, when it's an incredibly pampered white male deviant. So, you know, it's not *that* hard...

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

Spectacular own goal to imply Talerico is this much of a threat.

In newspapers, this is called the Gell-Mann amnesia effect.

Peadar Tóibín's constituents come to his office for help. He goes to the Minister and the press to complain about them not being deported. www.irishtimes.com/politics/202... #speirghorm

And not by management or her colleagues, but by the British press as part of a years-long hate campaign now increasingly focused on harassing and harming individual members of the public

lol you truncated: "The worst part I raised concerns about needing validation in November and got told I was slowing down innovation."

How many times, in how many contexts, in how many ways am I going to have to say that this is what "AI" does— what it fundamentally *is*— before it sinks in? That all Bullshit engines do is statistically correlate training data & inputs via their weights to produce outputs you are likely to accept…

pretty cool how Google went from having a glowing portal to all the worlds knowledge to being a clown show so fast.
