Many things confuse me about German leftists, but today's one in particular is how the ones that chant "No borders. No nations." are the same ones that insist that Israel's right to exist is beyond question, and that right outweighs over 70,000 people's right to... exist.

So much to hate here but I'm particularly stuck on how the second comedian told a joke and the avatar in the AI video just stated a fact angrily. AI does not know what humour is. Stop acting like it does.

This is a good illustration of how so much of AI theft isn't indirect (ie, data sucked into a model to train the chatbot) - it's actually **direct** copying, but *enabled* by GenAI. Of course it is: chatbots absolutely suck at creating good, new stuff.

It's been three and a half years and I'm still so upset that, despite all their baking culture, Germans still don't know the difference between cake and pie.

Lo siento, Alemán.

You ever stop to think about the internet and social media? So much technological advancement just so someone can publicly tell the Pope "shut the fuck up" because he's "not an AI influencer".

not sure why I made this but now you have to see it

When I say I "miss" a certain food as a vegan I feel a strong urge to clarify that I DO NOT miss the specific animal-based component. I mean that this would likely be possible (and maybe even good) without the animal part but I'm sad that they put animal parts in it!!

So Frank Turner is going to stop touring after Lost Evenings 10 so I have roughly 13 months to process the fact that Frank Turner is going to stop touring.

Child safety experts: It is crucial we use the correct terms for things, even if they make us uncomfortable, so children can understand unsafe behaviour. Content in the year 2026: So this pdf file had child 🌽 and turned out to be a 🍇ist who SA'd a bunch of people before he unalived them.

hope the irish men's football team will take a good look at themselves they're honestly not likely to ever touch real glory from the sport, but they have a chance to become moral heroes by refusing to play israel history will remember those who stood against genocide more than some footballers

Of course it's not fair that the players were put in this position. But they are and now they have responsibility to do the right thing. #StopTheGame

3 years in and the bbc is still pulling this nonsense for them, hamas attacks israel and kills a definite number of people but israel doesn't attack palestine, it launches an offensive in it it doesn't kill people, but people may be killed during it how many? a subject for debate

8 years after Repeal, those seeking abortion in Ireland are still subject to an unnecessary 3 day waiting period, an unworkable 12 week cut off, and a lack of providers throughout the country. If that doesn't sound very much like Repeal to you, join the march in Dublin this Saturday!

Green Day doing a joint anniversary post for American Idiot and ¡Uno! definitely feels a bit "my daughter won two Olympic medals and my son started high school".

I think one thing that would really help is if one could add or edit alt text after posting. Sometimes people forget (or, like me, have a time-sensitive meme that just cannot wait). Having that option would be way better than expecting them to delete the post altogether.

USE ALT TEXT. JUST DO IT.

just learned this today

Some Irish people love a boycott unless it's the sport they like

Haven't gone on this rant in yonks but people STOP CALLING EVERYTHING A "HACK". "Ikea hack: I bought this shelf, painted it blue and used it to display books" that's just PAINTING FURNITURE and USING IT

This is going to ruin the tour.

It was a fairly staggering miscalculation by a “culturallly Irish” musician to think that two Irish acts, and another of outspoken politics and Irish heritage, would go along with the tour after his statement earlier.

Oooh he released a statement? I gotta check this out.

It really irritates me when a celebrity does something shitty and people chime in with things like "I never liked him" or "His music sucks", as if their confirmation bias makes them intelligent. But also Ed Sheeran's music sucks and I never liked him.

btw Kanye did a song Heil Hitler and no one stepped in to oppose his tour(s), which is ongoing. In fact, Kanye is scheduled to perform at one of the stadiums Macklemore has been stopped from being at.

Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social · 4w ago

Rapper Macklemore has been dropped from Ed Sheeran’s tour after he made a “Free Palestine” speech on stage earlier this month

It constantly disappoints me how so many famous people can make such an impact with the slightest bit of effort, but are too afraid to suffer any kind of consequences.

Apropos of nothing, I recently discovered my first ever concert ticket from 2005. General admission in The Point (now 3Arena). €35 plus €4 booking fee.

It makes me so angry that when they put Community on Netflix they didn't bother putting on any subtitles for the non-English language bits.
