One day you’re young and fun then next thing you know you’re downloading an app that identifies what birds are nearby just by listening to them and man this app is awesome

First slide of the Instagram post from Illustrators Ireland, on a green background. It reads "Generative AI is targeting already vulnerable artists working in the arts sector, with resources the individual artist does not have a chance to object against. This creates a very uneven balance of power. Swipe to see more." #art #arts

Statement from Illustrators Ireland on genAI. Any writer or musician worth their salt would care enough about their own work to avoid the use of genAI images. Damaging other workers in the arts for short-term gain is incredibly selfish and hugely disappointing.

The Irish housing crisis is causing such immense harm across the country in so may different ways.

Three years ago, I wrote about the impact of the housing crisis on teacher shortages in Ireland, particularly in Dublin:

This. This. This. We have such a massive problem with toxic masculinity. And it is getting worse not better. All our institutions prop it up. And god forbid someone would tell a man he was wrong about something.

This must be absolutely terrifying.

And unforgivable.

Netherlands to return over 100 Benin Bronzes to Nigeria The Netherlands will return 119 Benin Bronzes to Nigeria which the country took during colonial times.

Some good news to lighten things up a bit. The Netherlands is returning over 100 of their Benin Bronzes to Nigeria. This can only be a win all around, and hopefully encourages other collectors/museums to repatriate as well 🏺
