This raises a more acute issue: what does it mean to “prove” a result if we can’t follow the proof?

If we can’t trust an argument, we can’t develop new tools and techniques on that foundation.

It's not tenable for me to declare I'm never going to fly Ryanair again. However, I fully intend to install the app onto a burner 'phone and explain each time to the Ryanair staff that I object, and that I will perform a hardware reset on the 'phone as soon as the flight is done to protect myself.

Though I’m not of the class that could have done it even if it were still a thing (and I’ve said this before), when exhausted like this, we need to go live some months doing nothing in a distant relative’s big country house for Convalescence (solving a random murder a bonus).

We’re approaching cost of oil causing a recession territory.

Days left to act: Ban cruel cages for hens Right now we have a unique opportunity to stop this industrial-scale torture: The UK government has proposed ending the use of cages for hens, and they have launched an official consultation to ask th...

Can you do me a quick favour today? ✍️

The government is finally asking if they should ban cages for hens in the UK. 🐔🐔 Lobbyists are trying to block it, so we need huge numbers to show them that the public wants this ban NOW: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...

Gary has ordered his family that no more of them are allowed die for at least 6 years 🤞🤞🤞

I am bone tired.
I am not fatigued.
I don’t wish fatigue on anyone, but I wish an understanding of the word on everyone.
Any day I am - even exhausted from over-exertion and grief - tired within normal parameters and with predictable recovery, I give thanks.

Defence Forces in Dublin say all Irish UNIFIL peacekeeping troops in Lebanon are safe and accounted for

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

Drove through that weather yesterday at possibly its peak, my plan to avoid rush hour not having heard how bad it was. Only a yellow warning but invisibility on the motorway the whole way was practically zero & still some cars with no lights, visible only as a distortion in the rain too close ahead.

If anything in this post has piqued your interest and you are a student anywhere on the island of Ireland, why not consider entering this year's #MaryMulvihillAward? You could win €2000💶.

*** excluding bots and sea lions :D

I think people had gotten used to passively seeing lots of things. Every time someone says ‘there’s too many’ or ‘there’s not enough’***, I’m thinking: who are you following? Who have you sought out? Who did you miss from elsewhere and ask to join? Are you just sitting in Discover waiting to be fed?

I often use pop cultural references, but would never use the bleak threat of the Borg to *support* something I wanted adopted. I’d be using this phrase to stir resistance! “as Virgil cold, As Horace fat, or as Anacreon old” Clearly Aimee Rinehart is NOT a good writer and never studied rhetoric.

We just need a simple rule.

If you publish a lie, the retraction or correction must take up the same amount of column inches, same headline typeset and, most vitally, on the same page as the original falsehood.

Front page lie? Front page apology.

Apparently McDonalds opened in Ireland in 1977. That’s nearly 50 years. Yet when I hear the words Big Mac, my first thought is of the rather formidable Sr Immaculata from my secondary school (not to be confused with Sr immaculata the Big Fat Tomatah from primary school).

Interesting article about women's sizing. It would be also interesting to see UK/European stats

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Thanks Lynne Ann. The many good humans on here are a reminder that the balance is generally towards decency!

We actually had a family episode of hysteria when we got the news, as we’ve had a laughably challenging time of it the past 12 months with a few things coming to a head just now. We agreed that if it was a Christmas episode of Eastenders, viewers’d think they’d gone a step beyond believable misery!

Thanks Donna. ❤️

Thanks Grá - I am raging against that machine!

It would have to go through such a complex series of escalations… I’m encouraging him to just Be Sick for the additional days he needs.

In this particular company, it’s almost impossible to speak to a human :(

I am ENRAGED!

No humans… all automated. The lack of human HR is a huge issue generally.

We’re in bits. Thank you Brian.
