Seriously, it's about time we told Reddit incels that there's a micro sd card full of rare apes and crypto hidden in a big shipping container every week, then just lock them in and ship them on a neverending journey.

God bless wee Denis O'Brien for selling INM to a Mediahuis Bilderberg pal whose family were Nazis collaborators involved in Congo mining and Lumumba's assassination. Irish newspapers wouldn't be the same hellscape without them.

Heat map of travel efficiency, updated

β€œNow Scientific American has updated and re-released what it calls the β€œclassic graphic” that shows that a human on a bicycleβ€”able to coast, or freewheel, without pedalingβ€”remains the world’s most energy effecient traveler.” @carltonreid.com on the re-release of the iconic graph in @forbes.com.

Much like the evil communist goings on at Jobstown, Paul Murphy has once again trapped a poor innocent neoliberal stooge inside an out of control vehicle of false and defamatory accusations.

Just a box containing some numbers that should make every single one of us re-evaluate what we choose to do for the rest of our lives.

People determine their values and factual beliefs in dialogue with their in-group consensus. Social media provides a convincing-looking metric of in-group support that is also easily manipulated (by people, not just bots). It's a recipe for disaster, and we're living with the consequences right now.

Sorry, another film that'd make it a nice three movies, is Nimble Fingers by Parsifal Reparato, a modern doc filmed in Vietnam.

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world.
They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

Former pro footballer Gary O'Reilly with fine mane of hair

While it's not quite the same name. Former Crystal Palace defender Gary O'Reilly infamously broke into the Gorilla enclosure at Longleat for a dare on a stag do. Nico the silverback formed his corpse into a bowling ball and rolled it at the giraffes. I think it was on a since deleted Blue Peter.

It is a campaign of erasure: the systematic extermination of an occupied people, not for defense, but annihilation. Every man woman & child is marked for death or exile, every home, school, hospital reduced to ash. Now, even shedding a tear for this horror has become a crime in the land of the free.

Thread: An Garda Siochana, or members thereof, in my living memory have 1. Carried out more breathalyser tests than they bought the kits for 2. Been seen blowing into the ones they did buy themselves in Garda stations apparently to make up target numbers. 3 planted explosives on a mast in Ardara...

Does a fear of death lie at the heart of capitalism? True wealth and power are found in collectives of people working together to radiate out justice and equality.

www.opendemocracy.net/en/transform... this is a good article from 2016 on marx and ernest becker which might be relevant on their hunger for power, money and immortality through tech

Complete coincidence I'm sure that the Guardian has a 'strategic partnership' with OpenAI, just as all these AI-positive stories are also a complete coincidence. Nobody tells them what to write.

The Guardian is the enemy, people. Stop consuming it.
