I wish the Encyclopedia Britannica would start printing physical books again. Even if it was only to a niche number of customers. It would be a perfect digital detox. You wouldn't have to worry about A.I. just making things up.

I think that the promoting of far-right individuals that has been occurring in the media over the last several years, has been done for 'entertainment' purposes.

It seems as though journalists are weighing how many stories they can get out of some despicable person before things get serious.

Hmmm...new reason not to like EA. I wish there was a way to liberate Bioware from them.

Speaking personally, despite what a certain U.S. president might say, exposure to vaccines and painkillers does not cause a child to become autistic. Exposure to epic 1980s dark fantasy children’s game show ‘Knightmare’ however does.

It did at least in my case.

The world's loosest shackles 🏠
Black and white cartoon showing three caricatures of government politicians with loose tape around their hands, being held by two background characters sitting on large sacks marked "Landlord Profits" and "Vulture Funds", with the figure on the right holding a vulture on his arm. On the ground is a long partially unfurled scroll headed "Dáil Landlords" with some of the most recently declared ones written down the scroll. The speech bubble above the three figures reads "Housing? Our hands are tied!!". It's signed @Ciaraioch #SpéirGhorm #SpéirGorm #Ireland #Cartoon #Art
