"But alone it [the Palantir] could do nothing but see small images of things far off and days remote. Very useful, no doubt, that was to Saruman; yet it seems that he was not content. Further and further abroad he gazed, until he cast his gaze upon Barad-dûr. Then he was caught!"
I have a lettuce in the fridge with an expiration date of 8 May.
You could get 12 Large Hadron Colliders for 1 Metaverse.
Reading stories like this and all I can think of is that Mark Zuckerberg spent $88bn on the Metaverse and couldn't even give avatars legs.

The Prime Minister's entire case is:
"Nobody could have known that Peter Mandelson was a wrong'un and nobody could have known that a process whereby an appointment could be announced BEFORE security vetting was completed could have gone wrong."

I am ever more convinced that people should not be allowed to convert to Catholicism. It should be a hereditary condition only.
Cultural protestants just lack the deep inner shame and don't understand the "Ah here, don't be reading that. The priest will give you the gist of it."
I much prefer it when JD Vance's Easter European roadtrips kill election campaigns rather than popes.
Hungary defeats the far right on the same day that the Irish government emboldens them.
Instead, we suggested a model similar to Australia where groups would have to be expressly proscribed, but that such proscriptions would be time-limited and subject to renewal to ensure periodic review.
For rule of law reasons, the minority of the OASA Review Group (which I was one of) recommended repeal of this provision but it's still the law today.
The thing about the Offences Against the State Act is that a group does not have to be formally proscribed for it to be an unlawful organisation; it simply has to meet the statutory definition of an unlawful organisation.

Toy Show culchie kids hit different this year.

"Fuel protests show why we need to reform the ECHR"-- Jim O'Callaghan, probably.
Can't wait for the next time some gammons complain about the disruption caused by environmental protesters.
Remember when people complained that Don't Look Up's political satire was just too on the nose and lacked subtlety.
I think about that a lot.
"If FF really cared about an Ireland for all, Micheál Martin would have appointed Mary Lou to his cabinet. I am very smart."

Nobody has been a bigger sycophant at the altar of Trump than Mark Rutte. And yet, how has that worked out for NATO?
Maybe that isn't the best way to deal with a narcissistic psyopathic man-baby?
