Respectfully & from the bottom of my heart, if you think anything in the world could justify this, you’re a monster or an idiot or some impressive combination of both.

Another mixed media #painting I did a few years ago. "Talbot St and Connolly" was painted because that street was one of my favourite streets when I was a kid and I still get a buzz walking along it today. Apart from its atmosphere I really like the visual mishmash of it. #SpeirGorm #ArtYear
Landscape format in black ink lines and various water media. View down street. On left side is a Dublin Bikes station, looking full, and beyond a footpath are buildings behind with top 2 stories red brick above the shop fronts at street level. Right side of street has black metal bollards and lamp-posts along a pale footpath, with shop fronts in shadowy blues to the right. On both sides of the street is a dark grey narrow litter bin. At the end of street we see under a metal railway bridge, through the gap in its wide supporting piers either side, to Amiens Street and above its metal arch a grey Italianate square tower of Connolly Railway Station. The sky, street surface, and footpaths are white of paper left blank except for bike station, cycle lane, and double yellow lines, which are yellowy-orange, and traffic islands beside bike dock which are pale blue. Three small trees of yellow-green foliage populate the street between the bike dock and railway bridge. Signed bottom left: Liam Daly

Apple TV is free this weekend and that means you can watch Dickinson, which is such a unique and delightful show that I will tag #poetry so the poets see this, too.

If the stencil for the bike lane can’t fit in the bike lane without running into the gutter, your bike lane isn’t wide enough. The MUTCD doesn’t set a standard for lane width or whether the gutter included. It’s left to the traffic engineer’s judgement. We need more traffic engineers out on bikes.

The Death of Cathy
A machine monitors an elderly Cathy's heartbeat. She thinks "I'm dying. I can feel it all slip away. And I know what comes next. Chemicals will flood my brain and wreak havoc with my memories. I will live my final moments in fantasy. But it's not a fantasy.Because everything that we are can be reduced to just that... chemicals and memories. SO this is all really happening... This IS reality. My family. My friends. My love.They're all here. They are safe. THey are loved. And they love me. And that is the comedy of it all. We are all granted acces to the kingdom of heaven. All hopes fulfilled. All sins forgiven. Because that is the tender mercy of whatever force created us.We are built to know the eternal and for that eternity to feel like no time at all. Cathy fades into space. The blackness of the cosmos reflected in her dying eyes. She cries. She closes her eyes, says "ack' and gently passes into oblivion.

I really think it's important for people who are ambivalent about AI or its effects to understand that the people who are creating and promoting these tools **hate** us. It's not ambivalence towards our livelihoods or annoyance with us. They HATE us, and they want to destroy us. Explicitly.

courtney love liam gallagher'Liam played me Songbird at 10am right here in the Groucho,' she explains. 'And he goes, "what do you think of me?" I mean, he was lovely but had really bad breath from being up all night and his eyebrows kind of met in the middle... and I just thought he looked like a 13th-century serf from Monty Python. And I blurted it out loud. He didn't get insulted, he didn't understand me. But Frances, who loves Oasis more than Nirvana, was furious I didn't sleep with him. She texted me saying: "Mommy you are an epic slut but you never slept with Liam Gallagher!"

A publicity still from In the Mood for Love. Maggie Cheung is lying resplendently on a bed in a red dress, propped up on one elbow, and holding a cigarette in the other hand. Tony Leung Chiu-Wai is sitting on the floor beside her in a grey suit with one knee cocked up, lighting a cigarette. Remember kids, smoking is not sexy or glamourous. This portrayal is by two professionally sexy and glamourous people and should not be attempted at home.
