disappointed to learn that Borgo is just a restaurant and not some kind of hallucinatory concept that I would have gotten a lot of mileage out of characterising.

Someone at the IT is having a 'mare rushing out the Budget coverage.

This was a sponsored post in my Insta Stories.

The social team needs a break and a hug maybe.
A post from Instagram stories with a swipe up link for the Irish Times. A composite image of Leinster House, Jack Chambers and Paschal Donohoe is titled "Budget 2026: Main Points" but the bullet points that follow comprise non-sensical filler text (Lorem ipsum) and snippets apparently borrowed from a restaurant review (One point reads: "Borgo review: Well-priced and welcoming", the next "everything a good neighborhood", and finally "restaurant needsLorem ipsum dolor sit amet")

Catherine Connolly has issued a statement following allegations she can only do 4 keepy uppys not 7.:

"I made a mistake that was not in keeping with my character and the standards I set myself. I am now taking steps to address the matter."

The amount of people I know who were suspect of Connolly's keepy-uppy video being AI and who looked closer to be sure of it is a good sign for media literacy.
