Am surprised how 'The Moment' doesn't appear to be going over with my fellow critics. I'm not a Charli Xcx fan, and I really enjoyed it??

If you're a working journalist, it's a legal requirement to watch 'The Paper' once every two to five years.

At today's screening, it was myself, three people from the Irish Independent, one from the Evening Herald, and myself. Nobody else.

I sat through the Melania Trump documentary for the purposes of reviewing it on national radio today. It's Newstalk, Movies and Booze, from 2.50. Listen in! I'll probably have an aneurysm!

That bald fuck Stephen Miller wading into the middle of Star Trek discourse to bark "woke" at his legion of online chuds is all the impetus I need to set my router on fire and escape the Internet forever.

Trump may be the beginning of the end for β€˜enshittification’ – this is our chance to make tech good again | Cory Doctorow The US president is weaponising tech, but his tariffs and Brexit provide a surprising opportunity to gain back digital control of our lives, says science fiction author, activist and journalist Cory D...

A great read on how we can actually finally regulate tech and move away from the US government’s blackmail grip over global tech markets that are currently forced to favour US tech bros.

Read the argument today that people should try to influence the narratives on the other website rather than abandon it.

I respect the view but - you're not influencing anyone.

Legacy media views throttled to death. Someone gave this example.

No, definitely not. It's just very stressful. Also, Chalamet gets very annoying and blustery.

One guy tried, unsuccessfully, to blow up a plane with a bomb in his sneakers, and everybody had to take off their shoes at the airport for the next 20 years.

Chatbots have a collective body count equal to Richard "The Night Stalker" Ramirez, and they're trying to put them in schools.

These guys are gonna say nothing, ignore it, and hope it goes away on its own.

The Trump doctrine: Violence is us The message is clearβ€”be afraid.

NEW: The ICE killing of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, the Venezuela attack, the new White House Jan. 6 websiteβ€”these each convey a powerful & unsettling message from Trump, Miller, and their crew: Violence is ours to use, at home and abroad, to get what we want. Beware.

Please read and share.

Again, morally OK to just drive a fucking bulldozer through every single one of the servers.

Folks, it is morally OK to pipebomb the servers.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier
