Nobody around the mayor thinks "spend multiple days explaining why you falsely accused a councillor of dealing drugs on Christmas because you uncritically believed shit a member of the public waived at you" is a good PR strategy

4 March 1902 | A German Jewish woman, Lotte Mamlok, was born in Wirsitz.

She was deported to #Auschwitz in 1943 with her husband Max and sons Robert & Peter. Husband and Peter were registered in the camp and perished later. Lotte and Robert were murdered in the gas chamber.

I blocked that guy already - but I just popped over to see the substack to see if AI really wrote it - and found this post by him instead.

Yup, nativist racism can be done even better by AI, amirite?

So if you want to tell your friends about House to Astonish, the ninth longest running comics podcast in the world, second longest running in the UK and longest running in Scotland, this would be a really good time to do it!

Sim abruptly leaves after three questions, not answering who gave him the photo or if he will post an apology on WeChat, saying saying that’s all the time he has.

A question is asked of a member of the mayors’ office, who says “send us an email” and leaves.

“What a farce,” says someone.

“This doesn’t go far enough,” says Orr.

Says it’s unfathomable that Sim would not fact check such a serious claim, says he’s still considering a defamation lawsuit, says he hasn’t been told what the photo is.

“Is it AI?””

This afternoon the AI Committee was told An Garda Síochána "is transitioning from a traditional style of police service to a data-led, digitally-enabled organisation."

Part of that transition is presumably a bill before the Oireachtas today - to give gardai the power to use "biometric analysis" 👇

Before he had to resign after #GolfGate, as a minister he threatened the Irish people that he would turn their water down to a trickle if they refused to pay water charges.
After he resigned he took a lobbying job. But that was also against the rules (2yr cooling off period).
