They shouldn't let topologists design airports. The Möbius baggage carousel is cool, but they only sell water in Klein bottles and security makes you empty it all out, resulting in countless missed flights.

I love you too, Robocop

I love you.

The chocolate bar comes in many sizes. Too many. It's chaos. It should stick to a standard form like the humble fruit gum. That's a confection that's never late on rent.

I'm blocked by Dublin Bus across all social media for relentlessly referring to late buses as "plot holes in the timetable"

Everything sucks. Except James Acaster absolutely steamrolling Seth Meyers with concentrated nonsense. youtu.be/hcdVvgxAQCk?...

I'm paying €2,400 a month to rent the studio apartment from the Virtual Insanity video. I wake up in the middle of the night to the sound of glass smashing. My pickled beetroot is smeared all over the floor yet again.

I've been told all journalists are using at least some AI these days, and I just want to say: not me! not a word I've written has gone near an AI, ever. I don't use it to write and I don't use it to research. in fact, I go out of my way to avoid AI (e.g. adding "-ai" to Google searches). hater 5ever

Who could it be?

This man must face justice for his part in Elon Musk's astral crimes. He should be sentenced to space.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman on rockets crashing into the moon: "It's not a big deal right now. The moon has clearly seen better days."

i'm under the impression that the spacex chunk hitting the moon is accidental which, if true, is a genuinely impressive failure in as in the context of how large space is, statistically, the moon arguably does not exist

Proposal: We give all the tax money that still inexplicably goes to Greyhound racing in this country to cinemas instead so that they don't have to play 40 minutes of ads before the trailers.

It's annoying but true that exercise is good for your mental health. And what is posting but exercise of the mind? Therefore, by the transitive property,

a reminder that the much-hyped new e-scooter regulations have not yet taken effect. it's almost as if existing laws were sufficient and the Gardaí could have simply been enforcing them all along

Over 160 e-bikes and e-scooters were among the items that have seized during Tuesday's day of action among gardaí in Dublin. jrnl.ie/7122443

a lot of talk about people getting more insane but nobody willing to link it to the day in middle school when we were led into a cave to glimpse our future self and decide whether or not we believed in determinism. sometimes I think I’m still back there. what “choice” did I make?

If the vote counts were reversed, they'd be saying this was the forever end of socialism in the United States. But the left won, so it's actually a loss. Somehow.

The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.

Congrats to everyone who got a shoutout in the Telegraph today, although I don't know where they got the idea that Bluesky is a place where people are kind to each other. This is site is not kind. This is a PvP server where you get randomly matched with an American who has misunderstood your joke.

I was wondering why I’d got 19 clickthroughs from The Daily Telegraph…

it’s more expensive to be poor than rich, thats all the theory is and its not complicated and its obviously true for example buy toilet paper in singles instead of bulk for a year and see how much money you waste

Since people are still relentlessly abusing me over this, here’s why the so-called “boots theory” doesn’t make any sense. First, what is it? Some people have suggested I haven’t done the background reading, but it’s not a deep idea. It’s from a passage that’s four sentences long.

It's not "harder to determine". We have centuries of jurisprudence on whose fault it is when an object or machine causes harm.

As I said above, focusing on questions of liability might be fruitful in changing the incentives for behaviour through the system

got a text today from an unknown number asking me if I'd seen Christopher Nolan's Odyssey and if I had any thoughts on it ... it turned out to be from a friend's new number, but for a while I really thought it was a devious new scam targeted at heterosexual men

I'm just gonna say: it somewhat baffles me that people who are understandably skeptical of opaque LLMs as legitimate sources of information will suddenly go full on "the computer KNOWS" when they are using opaque tools to "detect" AI. The computer does not know.

❤️ Gillian Green, publisher at Tor Bramble, told The Bookseller: “HM Wolfe has confirmed that Daggermouth was written entirely without AI. We stand behind our author, and we do not recognise third-party AI detection tools as a fair or reliable measure of authenticity when used on their own.”

People talk a lot about the causes of declining birth rates, but it's really simple. People used to need enough kids to put on a touring Shakespeare production - maybe six, even eight. But with the rising popularity of Samuel Beckett? Two is sufficient.

Had an incredible interaction with a guy over the weekend who went to see The Odyssey and told me he was pissed that Elliott Page played Achilles, a character Elliott Page did not play that was not in the movie

Emily Wilson gets one more piece on The Odyssey and then she needs to move on and let us know what she thinks about Mallrats
