People around the world are spending time generating AI slop - why? Because social media platforms pay “creators” for viral content. This uprise in slop won’t stop while there’s money to be made.

In the 80s my brother rented Ferris Buellers Day Off from the local Xtravision. I refused to contribute to the cost, as it wasn’t my choice. We only had one tv/vid player ofc. So he plugged in headphones and sat one foot from the screen, his discomfort a small price to pay for a sibling triumph.

Can I join the club? I spent all morning yesterday trying to resolve why we now suddenly get scalding water if the dial is set to ‘high flow’… I ended up breaking the shower and now no water comes out at all! 😭

I just read it recently Jackie. I’m still laughing at the Brett Anderson/paper petrol funnel bit!

On the school run this morning, my daughter (just turned 10) laid out a 3-point plan for how she would reunite Ireland if elected president. (One of her strategies is to give kids age 12 and up the vote!) As we live in D7, maybe she can run in the by-election!

Was behind this driver who was WATCHING TIKTOK while in traffic last week. Phone mounted on dashboard! (I was a passenger btw.) This driver twice blocked roundabouts due to inattention.
Huge increase in drivers using phones - see it all the time.

I didn’t have a child until I was 42, so I have life experience of both states. Before parenthood, kids were abstract concepts to me as I had no kids in my life. Ofc I understood them theoretically, morally etc but without nuance or relatability, I guess. But I don’t think I’m a better person now.
