I’m starting to think that engaging with people on Twitter is a form of self-harm.
Best case scenario, when you’ve shown them that they’re wrong, they’ll tell you that “we’ll agree to disagree”.
I really have to start asking if they actually want to know if they’re wrong.

So if politicians spread misinformation online they won't have their posts labelled with a fact check, but some random granny in Co. Leitrim will.

We can also connect to your favourite AI so you can ask questions about the data. There are nearly 600K line items.
You can ask the AI questions, and it will answer them.
For example, you can ask about how much the Irish Times made from the state. Here is Claude consulting publicpurse.ie to help get an answer.
I predict that Gavin Bazunu will shortly announce his retirement from international football, citing alleged abuse for his stance on Gaza, when in reality, as long as Kelleher is fit, he’ll never play another competitive match for Ireland anyway.

By me: Nothing disgraces Irish academia like the silence of so many of its members on John O'Brennan, who has as much business being a professor as I have fixing rockets for Nasa. His conduct again this weekend was shameful:

Of course they have to comments off on this now but the 'Irish dancing' part looks like she learned it the week before, and only knows it on a very basic level, while probably being a competent dancer in some other style of dance. Embarrassing cultural appropriation.
Dublin Rose Suad Mooge celebrates her Irish and Somali heritage with a gorgeous fusion of dance to Olivia Dean’s Baby Steps. 🌹

If you take your feelings about Russia and their political attitudes out of it, was there anything bad about the World Cup in Russia, on a par with the problems with Qatar and MexicanadUSA?
I can’t remember any.

Replying to @DublinAirport
@DublinAirport Any word on why the 07:30 Split to Dublin flight is delayed until 13:00? Your app says it’s on schedule but it’s definitely delayed here in Split.
It’s the only flight delayed, and the only one to Dublin, so I was wondering if there was an issue in Dublin.
@croatiaairlines any update?
Still waiting here @croatiaairlines. Also, we’re hearing that there are “refreshments” available in the restaurant but we’ve gone through security now (with a 4 year old), as nobody told us there would be more refreshments so we don’t have access to the restaurant. What do we do?
Why are the comments off here?

He blocked me shortly after that. Ironically, I can virtually guarantee I am better educated and more highly educated than he is.
And of course the guy posted a reply which he probably actually contradicts in multiple places in his other posts and then blocks me before I can reply, because he knows I'm right.
Replying to @CareyBrian
False. People should probably have a waiting period before they make any major decision in life. The decision to end the life of your child is definitely one a person should have the opportunity to think about.
