In 2025 I read the Irish language books Dún an Airgid, Cath Fionntrá, a few chapters of Táin Bó Cúailnge (an ongoing project), and I'm halfway through Conaire Mór (only started a week ago!). My low stakes new year's resolution is to finish more than 3 Irish books in 2026

This is what happens when editors no longer have younger staff members to run headlines past before publishing. "'Bricked up' means the same thing as 'Bricked', right?" 😏

"If you have a soft backpack, please place it under the seat in front of you" With respect - fuck no. I took the time to check my larger bag. I'm 6'3". The only thing going under the seat in front is my feet. I'm not going to be punished because I didn't bring the biggest allowable cabin bag

Just in case I'm kicked in the head by a horse in the future and decide I want to revisit the US, this is a pre-emptive declaration that the current administration is insane, harmful and is getting worse. Chilling effects on free speech can get fucked🖕 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We’ve seen other orgs attempt 3rd party bug bounties, thinking it will help their ecosystem become safer. Inevitably, the safety of software depends more on the maturity of the org producing it than how many bugs are reported to it. Bug foie gras isn’t the safest path to maturity

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control. All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

"GenAI images look like shit hurr" isn't a great argument to make. Not because AI slop doesn't look like shit (it does), but because as soon as the tech incrementally improves and looks less like shit, your main complaint has been refuted. GenAI images are shit because they're built on theft

While US venture capitalists were buying monkey jpegs, and DOGE coins, and figuring out how to get Black women fired, and tweeting about white birthrates, and trying to mandate which bathroom trans kids should use, China was making progress on climate change and taking the lead in a real industry.

Bong Joon Ho hit me up for the squad you legend deadline.com/2025/11/bong...
Bong Joon Ho took a characteristically radical approach when questioned on his thoughts around the rise of Al technology at the jury press conference of the Marrakech Film Festival on Saturday.
The Korean director, who is president of the jury, gave two responses, one measured, the other deeply personal.
"My official answer is, Al is good because it's the very beginning of the human race finally seriously thinking about what only humans can do. But my personal answer is, I'm going to organize a military squad, and their mission is to destroy AI," he said.

Hot take about the updated OWASP Top10 - it's a great resource, but I have some concerns about the trend in categorisation. If the goal was "create categories that cover the top critical security risks to web applications", the new Top 10 would nail it. But the stated goal is slightly different...

It seems the "X, but with computers" model needs to be tested with everything, including white-collar crime. As much as some people would like to believe otherwise, algorithms (inc AI), are not an accountability sink. Collusion is still collusion. Crime is still crime

Before a certain year, Subarus have a 3-way light switch in the roof of the cargo space. It runs in line with the body of the car, so if you're say... unloading cargo (crazy), it's possible to accidentally flick the switch to light-always-on. If you don't notice the light, you flatten your battery.

Reminder: GenAI images aren't trash slop because they look bad and generate hands with 6 fingers etc. It's trash because the models are built on content stolen from actual creatives. The quality may improve with time, but it will remain slop derived from a poisoned source
