Doing the bare minimum to meet regulation 🙄
Ireland's regulation needs teeth and updating.
It's been nearly 15 years since the UK required newstitles to have a dedicated webpage for the corrections and clarifications.
And still no systematic reviews to identify systematic problems.

the invasion of Afghanistan is among the most horrific recent chapters of the long history of elite impunity in the US. this coda is grim but fitting - the govt practically explicitly affirming that it should only be Afghans who live with the consequences amid fading public memory of the atrocity

I stand corrected - Turns out, Elon *did* have Grok reprogrammed to be his Emotional Support LLM, presumably in the aftermath of the narcissistic injury @joycecaroloates.bsky.social gave him

In one of her first public actions as the newly elected Uachtarán na hÉireann (president of Ireland) Catherine Connolly has written a public letter of solidarity on Trans Remembrance Day. It is a very promising start.
