So, I see that the Tories have churned out a load of genai slop vaguely in the style of the Bayeux Tapestry that depicts them as cool and chill and everyone else as losers. Honestly sums up the Tories; creatively bankrupt, pathetically try-hard and needing to lie to make themselves look good.

Surely not *everybody* was kung fu fighting...
The HeroQuest Monk two pack. Painted by me. They're on their display - it has s background of a  arena in a temple of some kind.

Underneath the miniatures, it says "Know not the path, but the reason you walk it"

There are, of course, use cases (like tumour ID) where these models can be useful. But those aren't the profitable ones which is why these companies have mostly stayed away Maybe a real AI system will exist one day but it won't be a chatbot that "evolved" Stop buying what these con men are selling

Hilariously transparent attempt to boost their stock price. It doesn't matter how advanced language or reasoning models get or how convincingly human a chatbot can sound. This technology has limits and the founders of these companies are trying to cash out before the general public cottons on.

Tidied up my Tone Pro test mini with my regular paint to complete this Oldhammer Ultramarine - very impressed by new line 😁 I'll probably still thin them slightly when doing coverage on larger areas but they're fantastic - particularly for getting an army from "primed" to "almost done" #nerdlings

I think it's important not to give in to the media framing the situation in Garvaghy Road as one of unionist vs republican. Most unionists also oppose this march because they understand the history and the pain still felt by that community.

Dear Colleagues,
Re: Updated COVID-19 testing guidance effective from 6 August
2026
Key points:
• Lateral flow device testing for COVID-19 is no longer recommended for symptomatic healthcare staff working in clinical areas caring for profoundly immunocompromised patients.
• Healthcare staff who are unwell with respiratory symptoms should contact their line manager and follow usual sickness processes
I am writing to inform you of updated guidance for COVID-19 testing in health and social care settings. Previous testing guidance issued in February 2024 has been stood down with immediate effect.'
While COVID-19 continues to pose a serious risk to vulnerable populations, this updated guidance reflects the changing burden of COVID-19 in Northern Ireland, which is now more closely aligned with that of other viral respiratory infections.
Testing for COVID-19 continues to be recommended in the follow scenarios:• To inform clinical management of a patient.
• To investigate and manage incidents and/or outbreaks.
• To protect extremely vulnerable settings, enabling cohorting and appropriate infection prevention and control measures.
1. Testing for symptomatic health and social care staff
COVID-19 testing of symptomatic staff across health and social care settings, including hospitals, primary care, community, care homes and hospices, is not required. This guidance removes the previous requirement for COVID-19 specific testing by lateral flow device of symptomatic staff working in clinical areas caring for immunocompromised patients.
Staff who are unwell with respiratory symptoms should contact their line manager to complete a risk assessment in line with usual sickness and absence processes.
The above advice applies to all health and social care settings, except for symptomatic health and social care staff who may themselves be eligible for COVID-19 treatments. Such staff should test in line with current COVID-19 testing advice for individuals who are at highest risk.
Eligibility for COVID-19 treatments are available at Treatments for coronavirus (COVID-19) | nidirect.
2. Clinical indications for testing
Testing should support clinical diagnosis and management with clinical teams exercising discretion in relation to the testing required for any individual patient. Testing should continue in those patients who are suspected of having COVID-19 and who are eligible for COVID-19 treatments.
Setting specific guidance for COVID-19 testing for individuals in care homes and hospices remains unchanged. Full testing guidance for these settings can be found here: Testing in care homes and hospices | HSC Public Health Agency
3. Access to lateral flow devices
Care homes, primary care and independent health practitioners who require testing can continue to access LFD tests via the Pharmacy Collect scheme. Ordering arrangements for HSC Trusts remain unchanged3. Access to lateral flow devices
Care homes, primary care and independent health practitioners who require testing can continue to access LFD tests via the Pharmacy Collect scheme. Ordering arrangements for HSC Trusts remain unchanged. Trusts can continue to access these via BSO.
I would like to thank you and your staff for your ongoing commitment and dedication to providing the very best care possible.
Yours sincerely,
flame te lea
Dr Joanne McClean
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC HEALTH
Guidance that has been withdrawn:
1. Updated COVID-19 testing guidance effective from 29 February 2024.
