“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”
GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON
Why is any politician still on the CASM service X? #thisweekRTE @rte.ie
Since the government is about to introduce a social media ban for under-16s based largely on vibes – and Jonathan Haidt's shitty book – in the hopes it boosts its popularity (it won't), I'll re-up this.
If we're banning under-16s, why not over-60s?
wait this theory 👀

In a flood of AI news this is a happy retro thought. All my best compact cli pipes are still perl.
…make it damn near impossible to find a way to tell them they have the wrong address, and then finally when I do find a working email, say:
“Thank you for contacting Oscar.
You have reached the Broker Support Department, reserved for our broker partners.
Please email help@hioscar.com. “
I have a year two Gmail account, so of course I get a lot of mail for other people, who either misspell or forget (or ??) their own email address.
Even more fun when sites like HiOscar.com start leaking customer data to me,
Oh no, if they bring someone “like that” into the meetings they won’t get all these lovely photo ops and it might affect FDI! Sorry they really would like to but sure you understand…
I’m telling you, this is a line we should not allow to be blurred.
Assert that what has been done is illegal.
Have it investigated as illegality.
Bring prosecutions of company officials on illegality.
Describe the basis of each step clearly and without obfuscation or imprecision.

Some reading for your Sunday morning, especially if you are insisting on remaining on a platform that monetises CSAM.
Staying on Twitter doesn't make you special - let that sink in

And the absolute furore over this image. The Gardai were having none of it.
How is it so excruciatingly painful for these people to leave, when I, a man with a crippling Twitter addiction, somehow managed to do so without any sort of psychic wounds
Let's talk about generative AI, contaminated information, and rhubarb.
Once upon a time, Europe was at war.
Food was scarce, and the government of the quote-unquote United Kingdom looked for alternatives. 1/

Men, as they move upwards in the demographic boxes, don’t have to conform to demands for “seriousness” in public (or, god help the Victorian antecedents of the same in private).
Find something you knock some craic out of, and knock that thing *hard*.
My primary PM is half my age, and has a team of people all 10+ years older. I could spend half an hour listing the ways she’s better than truly bad PMs I’ve had in my career…
You’ll be great, they hired you! Just don’t over-apologize!
They’ll start by publishing the unreacted browser history of every ministers laptop, right?
There’s a joke somewhere here about a man who confuses a battlefield and a barracuda…

This is ART. Someone give the #LateLateToyShow producers a raise.
Kudos to Pan Collins whose idea this was in the first place 50 years ago @rte.ie @rteone.rte.ie @latelateshow.rte.ie #LateLateToyShow
Someone is going to turn this post into a back-of-a-napkin business plan 😆
A person rolled their car into my teenage son a fortnight ago. It was broad daylight and the driver was looking down while their car was rolling forward. I know, because I was yelling, trying to get their attention. Drivers who don't see us are often not looking.
My son hasn't cycled since
I was very surprised by this on my last trip to Paris - though I’d been quite often before. Found a great Japanese coffee chain that sorted me out tho 😆 thecoffee.jp
Curious. I watched MASH too young, or not often enough, to be able to quote it, though I remember the family making a bit point to watch the final episode. Cheers I watched old enough to realize that they’re only kind to one another when all other options have failed and it drove me nuts.
I was surprised it’s still going, thought it ended ages back. Now I’ve got a project… and thank you for commenting on my TikTok thoughts! A bit shocked they got so far…
