Cheerful #genealogy note: "died during child birth at Offaly County Hospital; no associated birth record, so presumably the baby also did not survive." 😔

Hey WL, girls and boys don’t want AI crammed into every possible aspect of the database, they just want a tool for finding the goddamn mismatched parentheses!!

I only just realized…I mostly stopped buying cards with pre-written sentiments ages ago. If I’m not gonna let Hallmark write for me, I’m sure as hell not letting an LLM!!

Finally started some genealogy writing and funny enough, it's just like I used to tell law students, sometimes you really don't figure things out until you're forced to write them out. Related: I'm now having paroxysms of horror over people using Those Two Vowels for their genealogy work.

I'm gonna slap the next ham-faced prick to express "concern" about economic migrants abusing our systems. Our whole fucking economy is built on allowing multinational companies to come here and pretend they're Irish so they can abuse our low corporate tax rate. #spéirgorm

Exactly so. Most of the other contested offices I felt conflicted over my vote. Not this one.

Post a meme made by you. (Mine are both work inspired. 🤷🏻‍♀️) Love the Darmok one!
A fully kitted out Olympic shooter labeled “academic law libraries” next to a photo of the no frills Turkish silver medalist labeled “law firm librarians.”Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift engagement phot with her cradling his face. He is labeled “new lawyers” and she is labeled “secondary sources”. Obscene number of flowers in the background.

Why is it so fecking confusing to rent a car in Ireland??!? I also really want to unlock the skill of driving a manual on the other side, but with you-know-who still fucking around and potential petrol price fluctuations, this is not the trip. Booked a hybrid. Sigh.

I had a realization yesterday that The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a great allegory for Generative AI. Mickey pawns off work to an autonomous force only to have that force mindlessly use keep doing that very thing and destroy everything while using up plenty of perfectly good water in the process

Too old to post about #aall26 or something but to contribute to the swag reviews, I adore the new fast charging cable I got from WK. By chance exactly the connectors needed for all my stuff. Got it via scratch card, so no guarantees!
Colorful new cables connected to an old MacBook, ancient e-reader, and one cellphone. The remaining plug connects to the phone used to take the picture.
