one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

I've seen all sorts of instructions for how to turn off copilot on windows 11, but as an fyi, you can go into "add and remove programs" and just uninstall it. surprisingly, they let you do that. Does that remove every stupid ai thing? No idea, but in theory copilot is gone

A #painting I finished and sold last year. "Connemara Boats", a view from a small but storied bridge in south Connemara, east to the Rosmuc peninsula - a stunning part of the world. I painted it because I like the organic mish-mash punctuated by human made moments. #art #stunday #ArtYear #SpeirGhorm

Landscape format in acrylics on canvas. Past a concrete slipway are two little rowing boats seen from the side, one black with a blue rim, the other white. They are resting on ground surrounded by dark rocks and orange seaweed. Past them and a 5-bar metal gate is more water, a deep burnt orange reflecting the seaweed that rings the grassy rocky outcrop or islet behind. Beyond, across a pale teal bay is a strip of land with fields, and the suggestion of stone walls among the small number of houses that are dotted there. Beyond it is a long low painterly purple hill and behind it further away is a long lilac ridge, also quite painterly, the both ends of which taper down to reveal distant blue mountains. Sky is a watery cloudy kind of pale blue. Signed bottom right in yellow, Liam Daly.

Another west of Ireland #painting. "Connemara Montbretia" I painted because I like mountains and the spaces between them. And I really like bogs. And grasses. And wildflowers, even invasive ones. And sometimes when you're lucky they're all just there. #SpeirGhorm #art #scape #ArtYear

Landscape format in acrylics on canvas. A large bog of various browns, ochres and oranges, punctuated by grey rocks and slashed with wine trenches, sits between two large mountain slopes - a dark blue one on the left and an alizarin crimson one on the right. Separating the mountain slopes from the bog is a band of green fields and hillocks and trees, while beyond them in the small gap between the 2 slopes beyond the horizon is a round purple hill in front of pale blue jagged mountain peaks. Along the foreground is the titular montbretia, waving from its leaf-green long blades on the right half, and mostly hidden on the left half behind a raised ditch of long pale yellow grasses. The sky is a very pale smokey aqua. Signed bottom right in red. Liam Daly.

A west of Ireland #painting. "Sligo Mountains" was finished and sold last year. It came out of cycle trips along the Sligo coast when I enjoyed being escorted by the Ox Mountains towards Ballysadare and Sligo town. I've also been up into them by those woods yonder. Beautiful. #SpeirGhorm #ArtYear

Landscape format in loose acrylics on canvas. Beyond wispy fluffy long pale, almost white, grass are several black birds, likely rooks, on a low single wire fence either side of a lone post right of centre in the bottom foreground. Brilliantly sunlit fields, crossed with a stone wall, are behind causing the wire, fence post and birds to be silhouetted. Behind the stone wall on the left edge is craggy green hillock with horizontal grass ridges with sunlit edges. A flat-ish hill of darker green fields, edged with dark green hedgerows, is further back beyond a dip and running across the full painting. It is topped with a small pale house with a narrow mass of dark green trees behind it. Beyond further, sloping down from the top right corner to the left edge halfway up where there is a pine wood of smoky purple, green and blue, is a craggy mountain of dark blues, violets and pale salmon where the sun hits mostly along the undulating sloping top. All under a pale teal sky. Signed bottom right in red, Liam Daly

NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation

Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.
