Conor McCabe: Protesters' grievances are real — they're bearing a heavy load Responsibility for the time-sensitive targets at the heart of national policy is carried by agricultural contractors who are struggling to make repayments on loans for the necessary heavy machinery, a...

The self-appointed "leaders" of the Fuel Protests are truly scum of the Earth.
Why our media choose to interview the likes of Duffy here re the protests is beyond me. Do they really think he cares one iota about anyone but his own self?

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

One of the easiest ways to shoot down the idea that "AI" is an expert is to show how it deals with something people know about.

Fun fact: "Lovers' Walk" in Cork has nothing to do with amorous feelings, but is a jingle-jangle mis-translation of Siúl na Lobhar "lepers' walk", i.e. the area into which leprous people were confined, just like in Lepers' Town.
