I heard a presenter on radio this week opine that children should surely be moved on from picturebooks at a certain age. This comes up regularly and each time I'm fascinated. No one visits the house of an adult & points at artwork hanging on the wall saying, "Are you not a bit past pictures now?"

FF and FG backing Verona Murphy as Ceann Comhairle is disgraceful and unsurprising in equal measures.

the dream of not paying people is so intoxicating to employers that they will ignore every bit of evidence that AI is utterly crap at this
No joke: The ill-considered, lightning fast adoption of these faulty technologies across different sectors of society is nothing less than a mass cult conversion. It's the Kool Aid at scale, and we're treating it like a nice calming cup of green tea
An AI answering service took a message from me for my doctor the other day.
The medical receptionist called me the next day because the AI service wasn’t able to give them a coherent message.
This is at a CARDIOLOGIST’s office, by the way.

The fact that Disney bought Star Wars and bought the Muppets and haven’t done a Muppets Star Wars is a crime.

I find it so funny when people are like, “I like Lin-Manuel Miranda, I just wish he weren’t so corny.” Like, what do you think the #1 requirement for a composer of musical theatre is.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.
