The parade of useless tech-in-search-of-a-problem and rampant VC yes-man-ing has basically driven the Western tech industry into the ground. It's so embarrassing. I can't allow myself to think about where that funding could have gone or else I'd lose my mind

My @news.rte.ie article today focuses on trends in voter turnout over time and in a comparative perspective, measurement issues, satisfaction with democracy, the age gap in turnout, and the implications of low turnout. #GE24 ➡️ www.rte.ie/news/electio...

Now that we’re here, and the angry people are on X and the dancing people are on insta, and we’re all finding a place; wouldn’t it be nice if there was a peaceful garden somewhere, just for the sexy lady bot accounts, where they could finally rest.
