Howdy do, and how are you?
"Nice to meet you", so they say,
Politeness gives no other way;
Data streams leave only clues.
Such is my home, my mindset too:
Island green in ocean blue.
But we are tidal day to day
With battled yawns betwixt "Okay"s
And waves.

Greta Thunberg could've become a cuddly celebrity activist, giving talks about sustainability at Davos to audiences of people who've been to Epsein's Island. It's to her eternal credit that she chose to do the exact opposite.

If you are in Dublin City tomorrow evening, my book co-authored with Alan Tate, The Sweetness of Lemon’s will be launched by former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern who grew up close to the Lemon’s Drumcondra factory, at the Mansion House from 6pm. All welcome.

This is why I think the combination of consolidation of media and tech companies, and the roll out of LLMs and AI is so aggressive. For about 20 years, the average users experience w/the internet was a riotous democracy that spawned a slew of social movements. They want an end to it.
More and more I think the purpose of LLM’s is to turn humanity into helpless idiots dependent on Silicon Valley’s digital snake oil

Anyway,

This will sound stupid but is actually helpful.

Make a list of small, cheap, easy things you can do to make yourself happy.

Then make a point of doing at least one of those things each day.

I say it builds your emotional resilience and coping power.

Worst case is you feel happy 1ce/day.

Too right Johnny Logan! That's 7 past Eurovision winners calling for Israel to be excluded. The EBU is really disgracing itself to run cover for a state committing genocide against the Palestinian people. Until they expel the apartheid state, we #BoycottEurovision

Incredible amateurishness
Reform UK Party Ltd spent £700,000 on a 2-page spread — one page being just an image of Farage and the other a letter, meaning he spent £350,000 on pictures of himself.

The average UK house price is £272,000.

Also, the ‘full English’ is badly photoshopped on — it's tiny!

As with everything: make these programs universally free. If you are deeply concerned that rich people are getting access to universal government programs, then tax their incomes or assets.
A family where both parents earn 99k get 30 “free” childcare hours a week and a family where one parent is on minimum wage and one earns 100k get no “free” childcare hours at all. It’s a dumb system and I imagine most high earners game it in some way.

A Government of cowards.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

They can't get away with this.

If there is one group who should keep their big fat fucking mouth shut about Epstein, its American Catholics.
Holy shit. They're really doing it. They're doing "actually pedophilia is good now." The debasement of the American Right is complete.
