it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy

Update: Google just sent me a statement saying it is “rolling back” this AI feature that let anyone make completely bullshit satellite images. Comes after our demos of the tool and those from OSINT researchers. One of the worst AI tools I’ve ever seen bsky.app/profile/jose...

New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

This statement by UEFA on FIFA attempting to sell off the World Cup gave me goosebumps, what a statement - the beautiful game deserves no less “As so long as Europe has a voice, it will never be for sale.”

Wow, it's almost like all those protests weren't really about fuel... www.independent.ie/county/wexfo...

Fuel Support Scheme for farmers ‘under subscribed’ despite €87m budget and nationwide protests over costs

Wait. They all shake hands at the end? What are we even doing here? He's the US President suing you for $20 billion for reporting on the birthday card he sent his friend the pedophile in which he drew a naked girl & mused about secrets. And they all shake hands?

Remarkable camera angle of President Trump as he listens to Wall Street Journal reporters receiving an award for their investigation into Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — which they pursued despite Trump’s threats and lawsuit.

BBC engineers built robo-cameras disguised as dung heaps to film wildlife at distances no human crew could ever get close enough to reach.

"Telling others they don’t have a monopoly on compassion when they’re begging you to care is a bit like showing up at Heuston Station with a Thomas the Tank Engine toy in your hand and ranting at an Iarnród Éireann staff member about how they don’t have a monopoly on the railroads." Surrealing:

Astonishing stuff at PAC as Irish Rail says it’s paying €3m a year - including in 2026 - to software providers Indra to “service a contract” for a €50m software project it wrote off in its 2025 accounts

Well done on getting to the semi final of the world cup, the QF, the last 16, the group stages?

If it's NUFC then i take back everything I've just typed.
