@BigBoyler Really is mental the coincidence of it

This is incredible.

Reform U.K. is for people who have tattoos of their children but not custody of them.

@PopBase Cameron was about 6 years as PM. He's not in the total loser section

@AkaPaulHoward Yeah but you weren't deafened by cheers in Ireland for the Belgium one

@Microinteracti1 @WSJ @WSJopinion How is a country rich when sick people can't afford treatment. If Breaking Bad was set in Europe it would have been 1 episode of some form filling

@pyjamas_black David McWilliams is a genius I'll have you now. He's correctly predicted 12 have the last 2 recessions and his blanket guarantee idea put debt on my grandkids and their grandkids and their grandkids

[Paul @Bigape217]

@BigBoyler He was good in everything

Chloe woke up at 6:45am and immediately felt proud of herself.

She had, after all, not eaten a single animal product in four years. The planet was healing. She could feel it.

6:52am - Applied her morning SPF. The SPF contains beeswax. Chloe does not know this. Moving on.

7:10am - Breakfast: a smoothie containing avocado. The avocado was grown in Michoacán, Mexico, on land where a pine forest was until 2019. It required approximately 320 litres of water to produce. It was flown to the UK. Chloe sprinkled hemp seeds on top. The hemp seeds came from China. Chloe felt connected to the earth.

8:00am - Got dressed. Polyester leggings, derived from crude oil. A bamboo top that was processed using carbon disulphide in a Taiwanese chemical plant. Trainers with a recycled plastic upper that sheds microplastics into waterways with every wash. Chloe's outfit today had a higher carbon footprint than a ribeye steak. Chloe does not know this either.

9:30am - Posted on Instagram about choosing compassion. The phone was manufactured in a Shenzhen factory using cobalt from the DRC, where mining operations have displaced local communities and killed an unknowable number of small mammals, reptiles, and insects. The algorithm served Chloe an ad for oat milk. Chloe liked it.

12:00pm - Lunch: tofu stir-fry. The soy was grown in Brazil. Brazil produces more soy than almost any country on earth. The primary reason is soybean oil: one of the most widely used industrial and culinary oils on the planet. The soymeal left over after oil extraction is fed to livestock as a byproduct. Chloe is aware of the livestock connection and finds it outrageous. She has not looked into why the soy was grown in the first place. The answer is the oil. The oil is in her salad dressing.

1:30pm - Drove to the garden centre. The car runs on petrol. Chloe has a Just Stop Oil sticker on the bumper. This is not being commented on further.

3:00pm - Bought a monstera. The monstera was grown in a Dutch greenhouse using natural gas heating. Chloe put it next to the pothos that is slowly poisoning the neighbourhood cats.

6:00pm - Dinner: pasta with cashew cream sauce. The cashews were processed in Vietnam, often by workers in conditions that would prompt significant commentary if they were in an abattoir.

8:00pm - Watched a documentary about factory farming. Wept. Posted about it. Caption: "We have to do better."

Chloe is, by every measure she has chosen to measure by, doing brilliantly.

By some of the others, the picture is more complicated.

Chloe has not chosen to measure by those.

@AlanRMacLeod Comican gone too far

[The Rundown AI @TheRundownAI]

AGI has been achieved in Ireland.

Artificial Guinness Intelligence.

Engineer Matt Cortland built an AI voice agent named Rachel, gave her a Northern Irish accent, and pointed her at every pub in the country.

Over St. Paddy's weekend, she rang 3,000+ of them to ask one question: how much for a pint of Guinness?

How he built it: ElevenLabs for the voice, Twilio and an old Irish SIM to place the calls, Google Places API to map 5,200+ pubs across all 32 counties, and Claude to parse the transcripts for prices.

2,052 picked up. Barely any even realized she was AI. The whole operation ran him about €200.

The result is a live price index he's calling the Guinndex.

Ireland's statistics office used to track pint prices, but stopped in 2011.

An engineer with a weekend and a voice agent just picked up where they left off.

@AkaPaulHoward I thought the film was shite

@Clearpreso The design of the new lights is so bland. The old ones around town are so much better
