@simon_schama Turns out that history is actually written by the dipshits.

Ireland for instance or Pakistan

@JohnCleese Master Bait - Is this your pay cheque nowadays?

Dear Sadiq Khan, I think some of the prejudice to do with 'singling out Muslims' is to to with their stated intention to kill 'infidels', expecially the bit about beheading them You see, the other religions don't promise that

this is art

The paper I’ve been most obsessed with lately is finally out: nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…! Check out this beautiful plot: it shows how much LLMs distort human writing when making edits, compared to how humans would revise the same content. We take a dataset of human-written essays from 2021, before the release of ChatGPT. We compare how people revise draft v1 -> v2 given expert feedback, with how an LLM revises the same v1 given the same feedback. This enables a counterfactual comparison: how much does the LLM alter the essay compared to what the human was originally intending to write? We find LLMs consistently induce massive distortions, even changing the actual meaning and conclusions argued for.

Did YOU want to watch CCTV's AI Martial Arts cartoon about the Straits of Hormuz crisis? Complete with fighting Persian Cats? Well I subtitled it for you so you can enjoy it in all its trope-laden glory! Remember kids, the mountains will stay standing while the green water flows, and the true art of war is not figuring out how to fight, but how to stop!🥷😼🦅

Mono-culture farming devastates the rest of nature. Farmlands continue to lose much of their wildlife, bees, birds, insects, amphibians. But each generation measures "normal" nature against what existed in their childhood; not what existed before. So we don't mourn the Auroch, Quagga, Eastern Elk, or drained wetland. We never knew them. We each inherit a slightly emptier world & call it normal, a shifting baseline syndrome. Humans are remarkably adaptive... dangerously so.

Modern escapism is wishing you were a minimum wage worker in 1995

Victory for Afroman over the sheriff's deputies who sued him for defamation and invasion of privacy through false light. "In all circumstances, the jury finds in favor of the defendant. No plaintiff verdict prevailed. So the matter will be concluded with defense verdicts."

This guy is an absolute hero. This type of behavior needs to be normalized.

A perfect example of Britains place in Ireland - non-existent, fabricated, enforced There is no such thing as ‘St Patrick’s Cross’, an inappropriate suggestion since he wasn’t martyred It was invented by a sectarian boys club that excluded Catholics in 1783. They also invented ‘St Patrick blue’ - despite the saint first being associated with green in 1597 No legitimacy - No authenticity - No business in Irish business x.com/itsjohncrotty/…

Come down a rabbit hole of experimental Irish music, 1960 - 2026 -- with handmade instruments, tape experiments, 1983 live performance, strange Windows media art, alien abductions, and punching a critic live on the BBC. And happy St. Patrick's Day. cdm.link/tour-irelands-…

Peter Thiel giving Antichrist lectures in Rome is peak irony. A Tech billionaire oligarch warning us about the dystopia he's actively building in the city that perfected empire is almost a little too on-brand for 2026.

You couldnt buy a pint on Paddys Day in Ireland from 1903 until 1970! During those dark decades licensing law required pubs to close on 17th March because St Patrick’s Day was classed as a holy day of obligation. The Catholic state treated public drinking as incompatible with proper observance. This placed it in the same category as Good Friday, Christmas Day, and certain election days. While Irish emigrant communities abroad were turning St Patrick’s Day into a boozy celebration of identity, the holiday at home was meant to be sober and vaguely penitential affair. And thats grand if you choose it, not so much when the theocracy chooses it for you. Until the late 1960s, parades were more modest affairs, lots of marching bands and scouts and shite like that. And trust me, more effeminate men in skirts and funny hats than any Pride Parade I've marched in. But heres the gas part, the once infamous Royal Dublin Dog Show loophole! The RDS had its annual Dog Show in Ballsbridge that day and because the event was classified as a private members’ function connected to agriculture and breeding, gargle could legally be sold on the premises. This made it, effectively, the only place in Dublin where one could lawfully get gee-eyed on Paddys Day! Predictably for anyone with a goo on them, despite little interest in canine pedigree lines went walkies to Ballsbrigde in the hundreds. Contemporary newspapers describe packed bars, roaring trade, and a carnival atmosphere. And most of these lads never saw as much as a jack russel during that 24 hour period. And "Irish solution for an Irish problem" type of cognitive dissonance which makes me love us all the more. Crucially you didnt need a dog to attend like, but I love that some chancers brought leads or muzzels with them. Now as it was a Royal Dublin Society event, there was a dress code or a kind of assumption of a certain vibe. Working-class Dubs arrived in their Sunday best, ironically only to see the landed Anglo-Irish and professional breeders in comparitive rag order. This mixing created an unintentionally inclusive atmosphere were people who never normally wouldve drank together shared the craic and theres accounts of lads meeting up again annually for years renewing their friendships. Obviously elsewhere illicit purchasing of alcohol did happen, but this was on the level. Private gaffs hosted “tea parties” where the teapot was doing a lot of work. Some pubs quietly served “bottles for the back room” to trusted regulars. Hotels could often obtain special dispensations and there were a suspicious amount of wakes without any "body". By the late 1960s, the ban had become increasingly embarrassing with Ireland opening up economically, courting tourism, and watching foreign visitors arrive expecting celebration only to find locked pub doors. Can you image the dissapointment? The ban was lifted in 1970, and by 1973 St Patrick’s Day became a massive civic and commercial festival and for better or worse its grown into our flagship for soft power world domination every since.

Unionist Ruth Patterson “St Patrick himself was a protestant”. Interviewer “but he couldn’t have been he died 1000 years before the Protestants ever existed.”🤣

Laura Loomer went to India but deleted all of her anti Indian Tweets, thinking nobody would notice. Well, this Indian uncle cooked her for being a raging bigot.

TOTAL BS!!! The Holy Sepulcher has been under Muslim guards (family of @gnuseibeh) since the 12C, because of their "neutrality" vis-à-vis quarreling Christian factions (Latin Catholics, Greek Orthodox, Armenian). Meanwhile Israel expelled ~half the original Christians in 1948.
