Very infuriating, particularly when you're an autistic man trying to convince an 80 odd year old man who's gumming his way through a damp looking salad sandwich and "knows" it's not booked because the name is not on it, things get stressful.
Got on train I. Connolly, seat reservation system isn't working, every man for themselves type of chaos ensues.
Train gets to Drumcondra, the reservation system magically starts working.
Chaos ensued again.
1/3 of the trains I get to Sligo does this.
Ridiculous.

What is the proportionate amount of hatred for a man who tried to starve children, freeze pensioners and replaced my healthcare with conversion therapy? Just wanted to check in with you, the objective hate decider, before i continued.
NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.
Nothing quite like writing the bit where your MC gets to go all out in a fight scene against bad guys who have no idea who they just crossed.

Disabled and chronically ill people are allowed to enjoy things and do things they like (if they’re able) while still being sick and disabled. Yes, even if they aren’t employed. Hope this helps.
I want to vote for her for national office.
This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.
As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.
my latest in The Ditch. Juan Carlos Rosas O’Donnell is currently on trial for money laundering in one of the biggest trials in Panama's history

Small aside, but the computer system that you can occasionally see in the background of the Source Code unit in that movie has a big label on it titled... Quan-Tomb.
Want to know how to get into the good graces of the rich and powerful? Just tell them that their riches and power is part of a Divine Natural Order and definitely not unearned systemic privilege.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that his gross little paedophile circle would be involved in the housing crisis.
I wonder what excuses the government figures of the time will try.

Naveed Azkhat, 32, became overwhelmed at the busy, brightly lit gallery and decided to rest on a chair in one of the exhibition rooms as his shutdown took hold. His hunched, rigid posture led visitors to mistake him for the famous sculpture, and he soon attracted a crowd.
In today's AI and it's users are dumb news Open Street Map is effectively being DDOS'd by ai agents scraping their web pages, the information on those pages is free and downloadable from planet.osm.org but why spend two seconds on a websearch when you can screw with millions of peoples trips?

My high school algebra teacher tried to do this to me. That’s correct, to me, one of Bluesky math freaks
I've avoided writing about The Telepathy Tapes. But with the recent appointment of 3 non-speakers to the IACC, it's time to take on facts & fallacies about autistic AAC users—and the nasty habit journalists have of questioning their communication, instead of the agendas ensnaring & tokenizing them.

My totally unscientific take on the whole AI thing:
It's shite, it's not getting any better, and the garbage it creates is being published and fed back into it, making it even worse. It's a doom loop of mediocrity, diluting itself until it is rendered utterly useless, taking the Internet with it.
Now we learn from Reps of both parties who saw the unredacted Epstein files today that Trump, Bondi, & Blanche are covering up the absolute worst things in the Epstein files to protect the wealthy, powerful and politically connected. DOJ is being run by criminal co-conspirators.
