AoS, slowly and not that well. Other stuff, like trying to be a halfway decent human being, big fan of Popper's Paradox of Tolerance. #YNWA.

Blaming the weather man for the weather while spending the last 4 decades willfully ignoring climate science to the extent we face billions in fines because of EU emissions rules. A government of out and out grifters and clowns.
Minister James Browne said Met Éireann needs to make a 'judgement call' rather than solely relying on mathematical formulas when it comes to issuing weather warnings jrnl.ie/6940649
Housing Minister criticises Met Éireann for 'withholding information' on severity of floods
The flooding mainly affected Co Wexford, Co Wicklow, and south Dublin.

bear in mind that this comes in a context where Met Éireann has been under attack for years for allegedly giving overly severe weather warnings, including Retail Ireland complaining about MÉ's "alarmism" shortly after a storm in which people were killed

I analysed the DoJ’s immigration chatbot for @iccl.bsky.social and the amount of seriously wrong information it gave was shocking even to me. The idea that people fleeing persecution would be expected to rely on a chatbot in lieu of actual legal advice is 😱😱😱

Chatbots considered for providing legal counselling to people seeking asylum, documents suggest
The Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission doesn’t believe chatbots are suitable “in provision of legal counselling”, a spokesperson said.

Do US liberals not pause to think about the rest of the world when they outragedly emphasise the CITIZEN part? Let me tell you how it sounds: it sounds like you think murdering mere foreigners is not that big a deal, something you are prepared to maybe forgive a little bit of from a Democrat presdnt

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

The declared plan is to penalise *successful* applicants by making them pay legal costs for cases they *won*.
And the openly declared purpose of this costs change is to limit the ability of citizens to access justice, again, even when their rights have been breached.
Hard to see how this is good.

If ever the idea of maintaining a means for citizens to challenge a Govt who was acting illegally was worth protecting, it is surely now.
Judicial Review (JR) doesn’t succeed without administrative wrongdoing.
If you don’t like JRs, don’t block the ability to challenge. Just make lawful decisions.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

OK so in 1992 a girl I know went with her brother to Lepre-con and she was one of the only girls there. The shy nerdy boys acted like she was the goddess Aphrodite and it did wonders for her self-confidence. Then one boy approached her with a figurine and said "I have painted you an orc".
