One thing that delights me is the GenAI answer to "chicken ball" is basically a breaded or battered cricket ball sitting on a bunch of canteen style chips.

The proliferation of GenAI being used by takeaways on JustEat raises a particular situation of a Chinese takeaway I know to have particularly good dishes usng AI images that look fuckin' rancid compared to what they actually serve, which is kind of the inverse of what you'd expect with AI.

For those who dk. Masked Israeli settler terrorists attacked Palestinians - as they do every single time - and this time they also attacked and beat up 65 year old WaPo journalist Heidi Levine after pushing her on the ground. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/1...

Asked the BDS movement if it'd like to provide comment on today's House House news:
"The Palestinian BDS movement wholeheartedly welcomes game developer House House’s principled decision to boycott Microsoft’s Xbox in the release of their new game “Big Walk”. By refusing to work with Microsoft as the company actively enables Israel’s ongoing genocide and apartheid against Palestinians, it is clear that the world of arts and games can be disentangled from Israel’s atrocity crimes and be used as a force for good. The BDS movement calls on all gamers, game developers, games journalists and workers to sign the No Games for Genocide pledge and boycott Microsoft’s Xbox to pressure Microsoft to end complicity."

Just kinda underlines how he is a bad faith spoofer and trying to reason with him is utterly unworkable. He wants power sharing gone and a boot upon everyone's neck and will spout whatever bullshit he needs to push that dream.

The same guy claiming that the OO weren't actually unwanted on the Garvaghy Road is now claiming the "mob" had guns and bombs ready to kill the Orangemen and Stormont must collapse immediately (as per usual).

I see this game, 'The Last Gaeltacht,' is getting a push in the Irish media at the moment. Sadly, it is crammed with AI slop. It's especially bad in this case, as this is precisely the kind of game that I could see schools allowing kids to play, due to it being ostensibly educational.

Factory farming is killing Lough Neagh – and despite Andrew Muir’s opposition to this, he’s incentivising it. Muir is a radically different minister - yet his ‘kill them young’ scheme is squeezing out traditional farming and encouraging US-style megafarms.

If you find yourself wondering why the PSNI are so keen to question people who turned out to support Garvaghy residents resisting a sectarian march, but are feckless when it comes to dealing with loyalist paramilitaries and those who incited and carried out a pogrom in June, this explains a lot.
