Why is no one explaining that the narrative about plummeting NHS productivity is a false narrative? There are loads of articles being written about this - have any of the journalists actually examined the long-term trends?🚨 The Tories reduced the ‘input’ during the 2010s, by reducing hospital …

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.

This spineless action leaves 70% of Ireland's trade with entities in the illegally occupied territories intact, including financial services. Trading with these entities buttresses the existing occupation, encourages settler violence and aids in the final full annexation of the OT. It's blood money.

The only place you see trees anymore is basically rural hedges. Most ESB lines run along those same boundaries. There won't be a tree left in the country. Especially considering they're also going to encourage more one-off rural housing. Each new house will be another row of trees killed.

A good reminder that cycle lanes and footpaths don't appear congested as they (mostly) allow people to move through quickly and efficiently. Video taken from charlemont luas stop on a rainy morning.

Saw a Tesla drive by earlier and the first word that popped into my head was "NAZI", not about the person driving it or anything, just word association. Is that good for Tesla's brand? Who can say

"Fix your hearts or die" IS absolultely fire but also huge shoutout to David Lynch for writing a trans character into the OG run of Twin Peaks in fucking 1990 who was cool, and confident, and who was treated with the utmost respect and dignity by her former colleague the instant he meets her

"Lie" is absolutely disgusting framing. She had sex with a guy who turned out to be such a violent "Gender Critical" that he tried to kill after learning she was trans. I wonder why she had to keep her personal medical history from him huh?! As if you would tell a potential murderer your info. Sick

This is my periodic rant that Apple Intelligence is so bad that today it got every fact wrong its AI a summary of @washingtonpost.com news alerts. It's wildly irresponsible that Apple doesn't turn off summaries for news apps until it gets a bit better at this AI thing.

I’m so fed up of politicians denying the NHS the resources it needs to save lives, deflecting blame elsewhere, and then funnelling more and more money into private company hands. It’s grotesque. Patients are dying.

Can't look at Daft anymore because any properties remotely approaching what I might eventually be able to afford are derelict isolated cottages, and the pictures always show things like old photos on the wall, shoes on a windowsill, rusting pots on a stove amid the dust. Signs of a life interrupted.

Art should be funded like science. To properly fund art, you fund failure. Funding failure will give you occasional excellence. Creating any art with the aim of it being popular enough to make money, will give you consistent mediocrity. Arists need funding to play and fail because that's the process

this is increasingly what I believe too, especially regarding fascism: it is the ideology of pure indulgent feeling, unchecked by reason or consistency. that's why so much of it is built around empty aesthetics that feel strong or important but have no substantive ideas beneath them.
