Screenshotting the worst opinions ever from Twitter et al to post it somewhere less crap continues to be the "Look what I almost stepped in" of social media usage.

Annoying when you're reading a nice indulgent article slagging off billionaires and then it does the "Steve Jobs died of hubris" thing.

No, he died of cancer. The fact that he did some hippy dippy stuff while making his mind up about surgery makes him no different to anyone. Some people pray. Some people take that trip to Paris.

No need.

"In the 15 years since its release, it’s become increasingly clear that the film marked a turning point in terms of portrayals of female characters on screen, acting as a death knell for the ‘Manic Pixie Dream Girl’."

It's so weird that you sometimes see opinions that 500 Days of Summer started the MPDG trope when it absolutely destroyed it and put the main character syndrome of certain "sensitive guys" front and centre.

While also being bloody funny.

"Advanced AI models appear willing to deploy nuclear weapons without the same reservations humans have when put into simulated geopolitical crises."

Jesus fucking christ, what happened to New Scientist.

LLMs do not have will, this is a numpty playing with text generators and everyone in the chain of this being published needs to have their crayons taken away for a week.

Fuck me.

I am updating my Ghost blog version and as I've left it a while, it's a bit more incremental than I'd like.

Update your Ghost blog software and node version today!

I've up to v5.47 on the matrix linked here: https://docs.ghost.org/faq/node-versions#node-compatibility-matrix

Eastenders was on and twice people were shown standing in the street reading a vertically held newspaper so you could see that a character was made uncomfortable by a headline.

Nobody told me it was a cartoon.

Do you reckon films and TV from now will be really dated, and associated with "the time they all lost the run of themselves with drone shots"?

Not that I find them bad or anything, just maybe laid on a bit thick sometimes.

Listening to Destroy Rock and Roll by Mylo and remembering listening to Jello Biafra's "High Priest of Harmful Matter: Tales from the Trial" about the PMRC censorship efforts.

He talks about how not only was it completely ludicrous to accuse John Denver of indecency, it was a strategic misstep as he was fantastic at the hearings, and made shite of the PMRC's position better than anyone.

You know that the two biggest papers in ireland are doing a really excellent job on unbiased journalism when the Bar Council have to put out a press release explaining a fundamental aspect of our legal system.

Both the Irish Times and the Irish Independent have tried to discredit Catherine Connolly by inferring that she would have legally represented people that her would-be votes might not like.

She's *legally not allowed* pick and choose.
