Oh my God!! How do I find this??

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of what’s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

so far the greatest contribution made by (purported) AI is quickly identifying (so many) people, who get paid to read and write, who have lost (or never had) respect for reading and writing

Presents from my brother to aid with post-op pain & blues

Me: So much weirder seeing brazen evil on LinkedIn because people post shit like "we just created a hydrogen bomb that self-deploys from the Facebook chat window on behalf of Customs and Border Patrol" and everyone in the comments responds "🎉Congrats!!!🥳" Katrina Mulligan, National Security at OpenAI: 🇺🇸 Big news: I’m excited to share that OpenAI has been awarded a $200 million contract with DOD through CDAO. This contract will bring OpenAI’s industry-leading expertise to help the Defense Department identify and prototype how frontier AI can transform how it accomplishes its mission in service of the American people. We also announced that we are organizing all of our public sector work under a new initiative: OpenAI for Government. Even more news: I’ll be moving over to help stand up this initiative. Through OpenAI for government, we’re going to help accelerate the U.S. government’s adoption of AI and deliver AI solutions that make a tangible difference for the American people. This is just the beginning. Exciting times ahead—stay tuned! 🇺🇸 Above a post that says "Introducing OpenAI for Government"

This thread is a little slice of muppet heaven...

If Trump liked animals you wouldn't put it past him actually making his horse Consul at this point.

I realise this is very much besides the point but fair play to Sophie Raiworth for pronouncing 'Ballymena' correctly on BBC news.

Not far wrong!

Police are currently attending the Larne Street area of Ballymena, where a house has been set alight.

Breaking: Israeli Security Minister Itmar Ben-Gvir has confirmed what BBC, RTE and CNN have been speculating about; Israel did not capture the Madleen boat as it had been promised to them thousands of years ago.

We’ve all been there, babe

Big Beautiful Bunfight

It’s called taxing the rich, buddy.

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

The send-em-all-home crowd are now bitching that the deportation orders they screamed and cried for are expensive to enforce and like, what do you people WANT???

Ah.

Oh God, why what's happened?

It has happened before, especially in Europe in 1968.

Weirdo insomniac here 🇮🇪!

The Irish Gov't is so full of shit.

Landscape format in loose painterly acrylics on mat board. Under a canary yellow sky, a pale metallic tram, rendered as very pale blue with a thin yellow line running the length of its cars above its dark blue windows, is crossing a bridge from the left edge towards the right edge. The bridge is a single arch metal bridge of which we see the left half including the stone pier abutment at the left edge which supports a lamp and is rendered in lilac like the stone wall of the river it adjoins. The metal of the bridge is painted cream with the left spandrel outlined in double blue lines and containing swirling patterns. The top of the bridge has an ornate metal balustrade rendered in yellow with a blue top rail interspersed with two stone uprights and a wider one on the right edge which is in the centre of the bridge and contains the year "1821". Underside of the arch is very dark blue. The water of the River Liffey is red with dark blue ripples. Heuston Station is about 100 metres behind the tram. The palazzo style central block of 9 window bays is rendered in orange with lilac-grey, blue, and green detailing including on the top balustrade, from which 3 flagpoles rise at the front and centre up into the yellow sky which has smudges of green and pale orange. 4 window bays are in view on the side closest to the bridge. A side building of 2 storeys is lower than the main block and has a slate roof rendered in blue. Photo taken before painting was signed.

Let me share a #painting with you. "Heuston I" was the first time I painted Dublin city's main western railway station, and the bridge beside it that also carries the name of Seán Heuston. I love that station and bridge, and the place they hold in the city - and the country even. #SpeirGorm #ArtYear
