This is funny on its own terms but it's also like when a 21-year-old learns some well established fact and posts a thread lecturing the rest of us for not knowing it, often asking "why isn't this taught in schools?" despite it definitely being taught in schools

Just an endless stream of bad uses of AI, with hardly a significant good use to show for it. I'm betting the money runs out before anyone's able to come up with one.

As an Irish person who was alive in 2008 I can confirm that private businesses only ask sovereign governments to guarantee their financing when business is going really, really well

Imagine watching The News on TV as a kid, thinking "when I grow up I'm going to do that". You go to college, study journalism, then start at the bottom and work your way up. Then one day your employer makes you go national TV and tell the people that two "podcasters" have fallen out

It is Back to The Future canon that Marty comes from an alternative timeline where 80's kids are still listening to Chuck Berry. Ironically, the film's theme song, "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News would be musically incomprehensible to Marty

Thinking there are "too many" black people on TV is the very definition of gutter racism. There is no debate to be had on the subject. This is the red line at which every half or quarter decent person says "sorry no that's just racist"

A moment that has stayed with me: after the result was announced as gaeilge, and cheered to the rafters by Connolly supporters, the returning officer began "and in English...", eliciting a hearty guffaw, and for a brief moment it was as if anything said in that language was an irrelevant formality

An interesting feature of this infamous cartoon is that all the faces are drawn in similar style, except the Sinn Fein guy who is given the simian features typical of English caricatures of the Irish going back centuries
Whenever I hear about the decline in standards from the old days of Decent Conservatism this is the first image that comes to mind. The man who drew this was given an OBE.

Let's be practical here, you'd need a referendum to change the nominations process, and nobody has proposed an alternative. So there's zero chance of it happening. Any talk of "looking into it" is post-election blather. It'll all be forgotten by the new year
