RIP to Diane Keaton. Not only a woman who made extraordinary films but someone who always seemed to be exactly herself, and to be enjoying the experience very much.

So, over a decade ago, one of the papers, identified the bank account connected to his blog as being in Offaly under Tim O'Keeffe. At the time, it was brushed off as "his friend" by an alleged friend. But he has used the name "Tadgh O'Caoimh" in the years that followed.

Anyway, the above is backed up by open source investigation tools, and it's baffling that more people aren't actively working to hold him accountable.

Has an account under the name registered w/ all kinds of stuff including banking services. He has used the username "Ballaghnoher" a small misspeling of Ballaghanoher, a tiny place in Offaly.

So it's pretty wild that George Miller spent half a century making movies about drought and climate change before becoming an AI enthusiast.
