Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of what’s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

so far the greatest contribution made by (purported) AI is quickly identifying (so many) people, who get paid to read and write, who have lost (or never had) respect for reading and writing

I realise this is very much besides the point but fair play to Sophie Raiworth for pronouncing 'Ballymena' correctly on BBC news.

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

The Irish Gov't is so full of shit.
A Sinn Féin bill that would have prevented the Irish Central Bank from approving the prospectus which allows Israel to sell bonds in the EU has been defeated in a Dáil vote
Dáil votes against SF bill to ban sale of Israeli bonds

Let me share a #painting with you. "Heuston I" was the first time I painted Dublin city's main western railway station, and the bridge beside it that also carries the name of Seán Heuston. I love that station and bridge, and the place they hold in the city - and the country even. #SpeirGorm #ArtYear
