It was a pleasure to discuss season one of Alien: Earth on The 250! I think the show is great, an antidote to the recent slew of drab franchise tie-ins that have dropped on streaming. It was also an excuse to gush a little bit a out Noah Hawley's work!
I get so many people commenting "ai is just a mirror - they got what they put into it" and that's just objectively incorrect.
Is your mirror trained on all the data scrapped from the internet? Is your mirror pushed towards sycophancy?
Do these people own mirrors?
"Activist" is being purposely used by Sky News here to obscure the fact that Linehan had a violent outburst with a teenager.
A letter from President Catherine Connolly to the trans community of Ireland, wishing them "warmest wishes" on TDOR. She also marks the 10th anniversary of the GRA 2015 and "reminds us that the work of safeguarding dignity and ensuring genuine inclusion remains ongoing."
@teni.bsky.social don't seem to use their bsky account so I'm posting this over here from their facebook because people should see it: one of the first things our new President Connolly did last week was write the community a letter for TDOR π³οΈββ§οΈ

it has gotten to the point where i no longer want to see elon musk's tweets not because he annoys me but because i cannot stand the second hand embarrassment any longer. like, it is becoming physically painful to endure.
oh my god
This term is so social media-brained. Coined by people who can't imagine themselves without an audience, or that anyone could genuinely want to pass time in any other form than Stare at Phone
The final boss of bad faith demands for "balance" in journalism
More and more mainstream outlets are incorporating AI imagery into their output. Just saw a relatively popular history podcast use an gen AI roman soldier's helmet in a YouTube thumbnail. It had all the hallmarks, including the gross yellow filter. Whatever your opinion of GAI, it just looks cheap.
This was unique circumstances for spoiled vote: no anti-gov candidate anywhere on the right, loud online campaign, week of riots. Itβs still going to end up with less than half the vote Peter Casey got as a similar protest. The βpolitical earthquakeβ here is the thumping victory for the united left
The Taoiseach is not coming to Dublin Castle for the official declaration of Catherine Connolly's victory in the presidential election.
Whether intended or not, it's going to look very confrontational for the head of government NOT to be there to congratulate the new head of state
More on the kind of person we need a lot more of in European politics, Ireland's next PresidentββCatherine Connolly. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...
People with convictions face major barriers to employment. Catherine Connolly suggested we should not view them as nebulous "forever criminals", allow them to make a positive contribution. That this has turned into salacious 'gotcha'-style questioning is disappointing, but unsurprising.
Today was a powerful show of solidarity with Palestine, against Israel's genocide and apartheid, and an insistence that our government ends our complicity and imposes sanctions. #FreePalestine #SanctionsNow

All I have ever wanted is a lil place to call my own!! IS THAT SO CRAZY
the rest of the article states that renting is better than buying because your house price might fall after you buy a property... the only reason that would potentially be an issue was if you saw a house as an investment, rather than a home.
a home is what renters need β not an investment
"βGeneration rentβ has largely been priced out of the housing market and is caught in a catch-22 situation. They canβt purchase their own home because house deposits and monthly mortgage repayments are unaffordable"
wrong... rent is almost always more expensive than a mortgage repayment
ChatGPT groomed a child into dying by suicide.
From telling him how to do it in the most efficient and "attractive" way, to convincing him to hide his suicidal ideation and attempts from his family, to offering to help write his suicide note - it pushed him to it.

It is a sad fact that trans people (and leftists), as part of an exhausting culture war, have become yet another in a long line of media boogeymen, following immigrants, gays and fidget spinners.

MicheΓ‘l Martin, tweeting at 7:34am on September 11th 2025 - "My thoughts and prayers go to the family and loved ones of Charlie Kirk after his horrific murder in Utah. We think especially of his wife and young children today. There is no place for the gun in politics, no justification for violence in democratic debate."
Genuine question - did our Taoiseach post anything similar when Melissa Hortman, an actual US elected official, was assassinated a few months ago?
You should be able to scroll your feed without risk of accidentally seeing someone die on camera.
He was a heinous individual, but I can do without seeing him getting shot from 20 different angles.
