Statement from Illustrators Ireland on genAI. Any writer or musician worth their salt would care enough about their own work to avoid the use of genAI images. Damaging other workers in the arts for short-term gain is incredibly selfish and hugely disappointing. www.instagram.com/p/DKKAmTLi3Z...

Am I the only one who gets hung up on tiny plot holes whilst trying to enjoy a TV show? Like, the last episode of The Last of Us takes place almost entirely in the dark but that flashlight just keeps on keeping on.

I just don't get all the fuss about Andor. Series one was pretty good but series 2 episode 1 was so bad I turned it off before it even ended.
