Ireland have just knocked Viktor Orban out of the World Cup.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

Hmm... not buying it. Those kinds of epidemiological studies are horribly confounded by all sorts of factors that can't be controlled for.

This should be the biggest news story in the world right now

AI sitcom accidentally a Lynchian fever dream. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and insane lament.

I entirely forgot that I made this anti-ASMR video (Sound warning headphones users)

Let's forget for a moment that this tech is fiendishly costly and doesn't actually make anyone more productive or effective above a middle school level of outputs.

What exactly is "the boat" here? Are sign-ups somehow going to close? Are we gonna run out of AI?

No other tech worked this way.

25.3% of the total electorate voted for Connolly, which is the highest % since Childers in 73.

Even if there had been a Maria Steenish candidate to absorb the 10-12% of spoiled votes, the result would still be resoundingly for CC. That should be the story.

The Basic Income for the Arts Scheme is €325 a week, similar to what they gave out during the pandemic. This is how much they've deemed one needs in order to live in Ireland. So why is disability benefit only €244? Why are disabled and sick people expected to live so far below the poverty line?

The Gist: Presidential Numberwang After weeks of vibereporting, the first big poll of the campaign proper is out. This is the Gist.

"The Sindo poll sees about 60% of Gavin's support transferring to Heather Humphreys and 35% to Catherine Connolly.
