Absolutely well said…
Silicon Valley boards are showing they won’t hold company leaders to account.

Instead they’re spending huge $ to buy influence for more deregulation, subsidies, tax cuts, and government contracts.

We’re paying for their harms, from wrecked kids to data centers to literal genocides.

I think the shortest version of why LLMs are an anti education technology is that education is fundamentally about making shared context to understand ourselves, each other, and the world

And by design LLMs destroy shared context

President of Ukraine:

Our people really, really want this war to end. We are, of course, made of steel, but even the strongest metal can give way. Don't forget that. Stand with Ukraine, stand with our people. And therefore, stand with dignity and freedom.

It rumbles on. Someone is now doing an official survey and they're going to geographically map the results. God I love nerds! 🤓

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

Great idea
If everyone in #speirgorm were to buy one plant in a pot and all bring them down on the one day this could be regreened and bee friendly in jig time.

Anit-human and anti-nature
A disgrace for 2025
The main part is now mostly gravel, buggies and wheelchairs will struggle to move on it
The many railings are clearly an afterthough, when they realised they need a load of badly designed ramps for acces
The seating also is too hard, cold and low

Fuck me!! The political journos are today bending over backwards in their post election analysis to convince us there's a massive conservative/right voice being silenced.

They didn't get 1 TD elected in the GE...
They got 5/949 local seats - 0.5% of seats available.

STFUP!!

It's great that the Left combined for this election and of course kudos to the Soc Dems/Shinners/PBP but just to say Catherine Connolly put herself forward for this, as in Independent, long before she had that support - we shouldn't forget that. It was a brave thing to do. #aras25

or "borders" solution.
The only solution is to provide comprehensively for those needs - housing, healthcare, education, justice, elderly care, infrastructure, democracy, civil participation, inter alia - and in doing so remove the resentment that is so easily exploited by nefarious violent actors.

To understand or explain this is not to excuse or exonerate the rioters, whose behaviour was appalling, threatening as they did the lives and well-being of some of the most vulnerable people in the state.
It is simply a statement of fact. There is no policing solution, or social media solution, ...

Ireland can talk about policing and social media and everything else today until it is blue in the face, but the cause of the riot at Citywest last night is essentially the same as every other riot in history - a failure to provide for the basic and fundamental needs of a large section of society.

Disappointed? She said the words and then when RTE tried clarify her comment vs. the legal reality she kept going 😅

Disappointed at herself or at the words that flew out of mouth?
She's flailing around like a bull in a China shop.
