In 2016, I was invited to have a conversation with
Gerry Kelly on LMFM Radio about my book 'Gullible Travels'. Nigel & Cormac Talbot, the brothers who raped me during my child & teenage years, complained. Gerry Kelly read a scurrilous apology for broadcasting the truth. I took legal action.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Nearly a month ago the ADHD taskforce released its report on ADHD treatment
It said ADHD treatment is woeful inadequate, that Specialist ADHD treatment teams are both massively underfunded and unnecessary.
It recommended treatment is moved to GPs.
When is this going to happen?

Dubbing with genAI: ‘It's not saving time, it's not saving money, and it could hurt our brand if it damages the quality too much.’
Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Ah, here, @rte.ie "died following a collision with a car" is hardly an accurate way of reporting the manslaughter of a man who was cycling when ploughed into by a woman driving ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD.

Current @virginmediaireland.bsky.social situation is so bad that I'm on the broadband price comparison site because it would clearly be quicker as well as cheaper to switch providers. Amazing work even for a utilities company, no notes.
