Apart from a few dalliances with the DALL-E genAI image creator when that first came out, I am happy to say I have never used AI in my personal life and only rarely in my professional life when I am forced to do so

I know that I'm getting old because I'm increasingly finding that the clothes in places like Zara, H&M and River Island are absolutely preposterous whereas the stuff in M&S is pretty cool.

Hey lady, I checked really thoroughly and I couldn’t find any golf courses on that depraved sex beach your husband visited solo, so I guess maybe he just did practice shots into the sea

Enough of these Muppet movie gags, what's a film you’d like to see remade totally with the cast of Lambert Puppet Theatre shows? I’ll start: Pasolini’s Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (starring Wanderly Wagon) #FilmSky #SpéirGorm
Rewatched the Watchmen series recently and it's so good it almost makes me forgive Damon Lindelof for Prometheus. But sadly that was a crime for which no law exists and he is therefore beyond redemption
My sister got Alexa in her house recently but it doesn’t understand what they’re saying so they have to speak to it in English accents and this is a clear form of cultural erasure welcome to my ted talk etc #SpéirGorm
Specific and vivid memory: graffiti on wall of stairwell in Dunnes Stores, Stephens Green Centre, ca 1993 - “Give us dem hairy arms on dem checkout girls” Almost Joycean in its profundity. As true today as when it was written #SpéirGorm
In the next Star War, they should have a planet that’s made up of all swimming pools

Still thinking about this today for @pftompkins.bsky.social ‘s excellent interpretation of an Englishman doing an Irish accent,a different Englishman doing an American accent,Andy Daly’s valiant attempt at Geldof,and @scottaukerman.bsky.social ‘s Irish accent which landed just short of a hate crime
