2,000+ Jews gathered in Columbus Circle this evening to say No More to starvation and ethnic cleansing.

Led by rabbis, they of them moved to the front of Trump Tower, read the names of Palestinian children killed, and said Kaddish.

The NYPD is currently arresting dozens of them.

This is so bad.
This will be used to make profit. This will be used by private insurance companies. This will be used for advertising. And shitty studies. No chance that this will help patients

sure, Adobe updated every 15 minutes, but the pdf reader worked fine for years ... until, of course, they added AI (dis)functionality. Opening a basic text document in 2025 should not feel as messy and bloaty as pirating music in 2003, but here we are.

Whenever it comes up in conversation, Brendan says that he went to school in the North Inner City.

He means Belvedere, but he doesnโ€™t say that.

Little known fact, Brendan was born on Arthur's Day and his favourite authentic Dublin tradition is splitting the G.

This is so bad that, even as an Irish person, it actually makes me want to create an AI Oliver Cromwell to oppress him.

All involved should genuinely be ashamed of this. "Brendan" has two Adam's apples and no soul.

โ€˜Lived experienceโ€™ is valued in activism โ€“ but is it doing more harm than good? Those without direct experience of an issue can find their place in activism questioned, but an emphasis on personal testimony can shift activism away from political action, toward guilt, polarisation...

My @ucc.ie colleague @jodymooreponce.bsky.social is doing brilliant work on the historical sociology of what we now call lived experience. Get a flavour of her forthcoming papers and monograph in this Irish Examiner article: www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

We are 3 seconds from a dim, influential person arguing that it's ok for "AI" to hallucinate scientific references because it means those papers *should* exist.

Once again, the RSA's idea to task citizens with responsibility for road safety seems unhelpful when we have no role in road design and very little influence on the regulation or enforcement of road traffic offences.

How do you solve a problem like brand advertising...?

Last year @emmaboyland.bsky.social & I had a discussion over breakfast* where we discussed our concerns about the rapidly emerging loophole of food brand ads and lack of a policy approach to address it...

This is just mind-blowingly fucked up. Taxpayers having to compensate multinational corporations for the profits they lose due to environmental protection measures. Corporate extortion, basically. Just evil.
