Also, as some other jagoff has tried to call me on... there's a widespread belief that colored smoke grenades are zinc chloride smoke, based on hexachlorethane. No. Such grenades make white smoke, much thicker and longer burning.

Machine learning, like the kind that makes a GPS better, that's good.

Generative AI, like the kind that makes up papers and cites them, that's bad.

Remember when ChatGPT or whichever bullshit generator said the Underground Railroad was an actual, literal railroad?

Oh yes that's useful.

Patrick O’Donovan went out on the national airwaves with a half-baked, bad set of ideas about linking access to online spaces to our PPS numbers.

If he had these ideas himself, it would be a Christmas miracle.

But in fact, they are the Zuckerberg lobbying aim across the world.

One of the evident failures of the FF and FG party candidates in the Presidential election was their inability to articulate what either party was for.

These are hollow vessels, whose policies are largely set by outside forces.

An organised external lobby can simply slot their preferred policy in

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy
