zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

In 1969, three young Labour Party firebrands were elected to Seanad Eireann for the first time: Mary Robinson, Michael D., and my father. He slipped up not getting his nomination in this time 😃

On National Poetry Day, the greatest poem I have ever read

Seven years ago today, Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was tortured, murdered and then dismembered. And any so-called comedian who can't stand up tonight in Riyadh and do ten minutes on that kind of hijinx and horseplay just isn't worth the Saudi blood money he's being paid.

When you have plenty of time to devote to it — because you will not be able to stop — do yourself a kindness and dive into this thread. You will not be sorry, please trust me on this.

Chuffed to see my latest article in today's issue of The Gloss Magazine, free with the Irish Times. It's another collection of amusing disasters from my personal life, which when put together make a point - in this case, how some minor-level acting helped me overcome shyness.

Non-Irish people should be told that Ireland is creased with national hilarity because the Catholic conservative candidate who failed to get enough support did a presser to talk about how Ireland had been cheated out of having a real 'people's candidate' while holding a €20K+ Hermes handbag.

A seaside-themed mural saying "The NORTH STRAND welcomes all" There are shells, fish, swans and an image of the river Tolka visible.

Lovely mural up on the North Strand today. There's a few people about the place who like to think it belongs to them and them alone, but it belongs to us all.

Thanks to @dwmalone.bsky.social for the pic!

The council wasn’t hiring a municipal walker, but she took the job anyway Once a month since September 2022, artist Lian Bell has done a full circuit of the North and South Circular Roads, observing these 14km through the seasons.

Bravo @lianbell.bsky.social! www.dublininquirer.com/the-council-...

An amazing album, just a work of genius. So many great songs but Cloudbusting is just one of my favourite songs ever. The Big Sky is another gem.

vpns are cheap and effective

My portrait of the wonderful Hugh O’Conor, whose lovely, funny and touching series Showkids launched on @rteone.rte.ie yesterday.
