It's really annoying how many Irish small businesses, especially pubs, takeaways and dine-in restaurants, have an online presence only on Facebook. The pages are deeply unsatisfactory when it comes to telling their stories, and they're missing out on lots of engagement.

No offense but I think we underestimate how many of our current problems, culturally and politically, are downstream of the decline in learning, the decline in critical thinking and the loss of interest in the humanities.

Handy thing: add -ai at the end of your google search, and it removes that stupid ai summary

That’s because you own two houses

Explaining why you hate GenAI IRL is like pulling teeth. People don’t care. They don’t want to hear it. The environmental impacts, the ethical implications… they don’t care.

ive read a lot of books and essays about the attention economy and digital labour. but truly nothing makes the humiliation stick better than this tiktok skit recognising social media use as "volunteering for Big Tech"

If we now insist on ‘biology’ as the supreme category then presumably the trans men who have lived as men for years and pass as men to everyone who encounters them will now not only be welcomed in women-only spaces by gender-critical people but actively encouraged to use them?

Just found a little Yorkie wandering in Rialto, Dublin 8. Pretty sure he’s male. Friendly, collar on but no tags. If anyone knows his owner, can you please tell them he’s in the Garda station on Sundrive Rd in Crumlin? #lostdogdublin

Extremely interesting research around perceptions of the popularity of climate action. If you're an environmental org, does your messaging address this? theguardian.com/environment/20…

free career tip: be so competent they forget you’re unmanageable

If I see AI imagery on your thumbnail/blog post/display pic/advert/website it sends a loud and clear message that this is a super low-effort operation and I shouldn't assign any value to it.

Labour's new policy - of humiliating trans people by requiring them constantly to self-identify - we believe puts the UK (again) in breach of its obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights and will seek a declaration of incompatability. goodlaw.social/qwjc

Really disappointed to see that the main charity job sites in Ireland still aren't listing the salaries for all jobs. It should be a requirement in order to have the job published at all Show The Salary

Absolutely diabolical Cloudflare feature. love to see it

i am once again begging humanities professors to understand what this thing is actually doing and write about its outputs in a rigorous and critical way. it is genuinely embarrassing that you all continue to write as if the computer is thinking and talking

i made it impossible for you to trust anything you see or hear on the internet. give me your biometrics and pay me to stop this

What's really irritating me about this is that we have to rely on The Ditch to uncover this stuff. This is probably only a couple of hours of work doing some searches. Why did no RTÉ journalists (our public service broadcaster, by the way) look into this? It's not difficult?
