People hate AI so much (and, fair) that they are pretending obviously useful things – like asking it how to perform functions in Excel – is useless and dumb

Normie opinion haver

I’m afraid that are being deliberately obtuse and self-centered about the robot runner. It is obviously impressive from a technological standpoint? And maybe YOU are not “supposed to be impressed”. Not everything is actually about you

Showing up on time being described as “neurotic”. Bsky might be the real deal

Wouldn’t mind seeing the lot of them keyed

real

It’s depressing for many many reasons, obviously, but chief among them for me is that it means we will be totally unable to see the comparative effects of partition in the early years. That’s vital insight that we simply won’t have.

As a nerd who’s into this sort of stuff, it is genuinely exciting that the 1926 census data for the 26 counties is being released tomorrow. But it’s also incredibly depressing that the equivalent from the north no longer exists.

Have to laugh at all the people on here who seem to think that “papal infallibility“ means you can never disagree with the Pope on anything ever.

I loved the Museo Aljube! it’s a museum in an old prison dedicated to anti-colonial resistance and resistance to the Portuguese dictatorship. Lots of cool fliers and anti-colonial propaganda

The answer, of course, is that it’s both – and neither – at the same time. The dialectic thunders on.

The left’s job remains the same as it always has been: consciousness raising and organising for power.

Classic chicken and egg scenario. Can the lack of a strong left be explained by an inherently reactionary populace, or is it the other way around?

Her music was always “relaxing” compared to her contemporaries. She had no problem just creating an atmosphere and sitting in it. Can see her traces in lots of ambient jazz stuff today like with Nala Sinephro

This is incorrect unfortunately Gavan. Tenants from all over the DCC area were in attendance, including from the southside! They were there on behalf of CATU

Fr I’m also imagining getting a crowd like that at a CATU public meeting and LOL

Maybe if we point out the hypocrisy of the state and the police one more time, they might finally see the error of their ways …

This argument is, on the one hand, obviously true. On the other hand it is so self-defeating and stifling, the constant repetition of it serving only to comfort us while encouraging us to give up: “Of course we didn’t fight for a better world. Sure we weren’t let!”

Still laughing at the people who told the How To Gael girls that they shouldn‘t give a platform to … the Taoiseach

Ah of course. The southside of the airport.

This is genuinely the best news I’ve heard in years

Hungarian opposition oust their fascist leader.

Americans: haha, another failure for JD Vance, an American

So many sarcastic posts along the lines of “oh so I guess I can just park a load of tractors on the M50 and get what I want so??” and … yes! Probably! Isn’t that a useful lesson to learn?

The government are spending half a billion on tax cuts because they were made feel they had to. Our job is to make them feel like they also have to solve the housing crisis and improve social services for all. That’s it! Let’s get serious about this please!

The thing about building worker and tenant power is that it’s difficult and takes ages and all the odds are stacked against us. But if we’re not at least trying to build that power every day, I’m sorry but our politics are childish and worthless.

Begging people to stop thinking about politics in normative terms and start thinking about it in terms of power. Yes the government should spend money on social services for those who need it most. No, it won’t happen just because we ask nicely or point out some hypocrisy.

Guy with a James Connolly header putting himself in the same “we” as the police and our centre-right government. I could agree or disagree with the protests but you would never find me being this embarassing lmao

I read the “Marxist analysis” from the former Trinity SU pres and he basically said “the petit bourgeoisie are basically the proletariat now because they have prole vibes”, and I think that’s just really bad analysis. But I do think as socialists in the real world we should support affordability!

I think it’s a really interesting moment for the Irish left and I think it’s good that we can disagree with each other while we figure out the correct approach. But on here that take makes me a fash apologist or something lol

Totally agree! I do think people will be angry and push for more (which is good).

Anyway, I’m proud to see a clear-eyed view from CATU, as always. Resist every attempt at dividing us.
