Amazon cutting 14,000 office jobs for AI adoption a week after a major AWS outage sounds like a brilliant plan 👀

Is the Presidential nomination process really all that broken when turnout is up 2% and this is a historic number of votes to be elected by?

Or are the media too reliant on hate and controversy for clicks and relevancy?

For keen eyes, the final momentum video embedded in this article has a clip of a 'no rollerblades' sign in the wings of Vicar St, which still makes me laugh.

"Connolly was advised to avoid her hobby of rollerblading down Galway’s prom for fear of injury." 🤌

Right I know Wikipedia shouldn't be your source, but they could have opened Wikipedia for 5 seconds. How embarrassing.

They've since updated the headline with no notice of correction and categorised the story as "UK" news.

And people say the British press doesn't know anything about Ireland. They got this scoop, didn't they.

The home of the O'Donovan family is being used as a polling station in Coolmoyne, Co Tipperary. Around 250 people are eligible to vote at the house and after they cast their ballot, they will be treated to a cup of tea, a slice of apple or rhubarb tart, or a scone | More: rte.ie/b/1540324

My post office is hopping, unlike my polling station. Though I am in an overflow station.

As an ex (pre sale) Tumblr user I'm used to scrolling and ignoring random internet porn. But what is this AI slop edition polluting my feed here in the past few weeks? Make it stop.

The IPAS accommodation in Basin Lane, D8 is under attack tonight by masked youths. Threats to break windows. The lane has been blocked by pallets and bins on fire also.

We’ve certainly got the momentum, now let’s take it into Friday.

Your vote is your voice. This Friday, vote Catherine #1
