I often think that if I met past me, I would take me aside and have stern words about the offensive things I was doing or saying, and why those things were wrong and hurtful. I wouldn't pull my punches. I have regrets, and I all can say is that I wish I'd grown sooner.

The new Apple iPad ad is the exact inverse of the famous 1984 ad. Holy shit, that is misjudged and then some. It actually gives me the ick for my Apple gear.

This whole wall planner business is simultaneously empowering and terrifying.

Getting there! I hope. Nice day out.

It’ll be interesting to see how Sinn Féin handle the Terence Wheelock story (a rarely reported Dublin Garda scandal) once they get into government. They’ve given a lot if support over the years but they’ll have to deliver heads once they’re in control.

I know, I will use Likewise's AI search assistant to recommend some murder mystery series for my girlfriend and I to watch together on Disney Mouse:

Young miscreants tearing through Blanch village on unlicensed scramblers, on the way to the hospital. They can do that because they know that there’s no enforcement. You can actually do whatever you want now, because the dream of a policeless society has been achieved. Have at it.

I think we’re going to see that if the USA sets a red line, Israel does not recognise it as in any way meaningful. They do not see the USA as a senior partner. They see themselves as the senior partner, with a wealthy but weak benefactor, doing what they are supposed to do.

The very concept of Dublin 15 is being subverted on daft.ie, it now includes Lusk. Next, they'll bundle in Balbriggan and Navan.

I've been building out my calendar for the year (I do this by hand in Affinity Designer, with templates based on the Eurostat calendars), adding provisional public events as a reminders, and I see that Al Porter is now uncancelled. Well, well.

Strongly suspecting that the eardrum repair has failed and now I’ll be sitting out the next five weeks knowing it was a massive waste of time and effort.

AI hallucination of the day.

Matched only by AI's attempt at alt text for this image.

For those who actually need alt text: it's an AI mangling the concept of illustrating the broad eras of the web.

Anyone want a MacPro 3.1 2008 Tower?

Free to collect in the next 4 days from Wandsworth, South West London.

I wish they made them like this again. Absolute workhorse. 🥲

If my eardrum heals successfully by the end of this, I think I’ll be amazed. But I’ll have to stick this out for another five weeks to find that out.

Printing out the edited highlights of the Junior Cycle subject specifications, because that's how we roll.

Swapped my bone conduction earphones today (I didn't like the colour of the ones I got last week) and finally fired them up. The audio isn't going to win any awards, and it's a weird feeling, vaguely disorientating. I mean, it's magic how it works, but I'm oddly sensitive to these things.

I don’t know what I’d do if I was in the USA right now, but Biden would rather see through the genocide of Palestinians than win the next election. He’s absolutely clear about this. If there wasn’t an election coming he would be sending in US troops to help.

i haven't been bitchy in a while so i'm going to allow myself a bit of friendly fire at other itch io devs but... it sucks to find game jams that are themed around making unpolished/lowbrow/weird/"bad" games, then scrolling to the rules and seeing that 18+ content isn't allowed. it seems to come from a mentality of wanting to extend the perimeters of what games as art should be, but not enough to actually risk making anyone uncomfortable.
