Twitter is awash with insane 'book' discourse.
1. Romantasy etc. is not literature, it's comfort slop, fine, but not 'reading.'
2. Boys and girls like different things, that's fine too, and yes it's a generalisation.
3. Identity should have no role in choosing what to publish.

4. Even if, and I don't have kids, so I don't know, all modern books for kids are slop, and/or not for boys, there are thousands of good ones, so just read them instead.
5. Reading, identifying and understanding quality takes time, so all reading is good, until a certain age.

The word dweeb is sadly out of fashion. We live in an era of dweebs that need to be removed. Dweebs include Musk, Altman, Asmodei, Huang... & Then the ghouls, 'omigod I can steal to make bad clipart.' All need, at least need spaying. They produce no value. They are rotten.

Okay... now it's blood banks...
Can we all just accept connecting fridges to the internet was an absolutely STUPID thing to do? Why the fuck does a fridge need to be online?!? It's a fridge! And... for those in the back... NOT EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE ONLINE ... MOST THINGS DON'T!

Ireland really needs to include making it easier to fire civil servants in any pay deal.
1. We (taxpayers) bought 500 bikes
2. We are now paying for their storage to get them off the roads (we don’t know why)
3. But we still intend to buy 1,375 more!
At a certain point you have to turn off your brain because this is so asinine that it crushes my soul and upsets me evitable result of our gov depts and state bodies never knowing what the other is doing.
We cannot keep doing this; our state cannot handle the complexity of modern policy-making.
We need to reform this system IMMEDIATELY. Not publish a paper. Full, total, complete reform.

People still leaning on the crutch tropes of 'Ok Boomer,' or the old man shouts at clouds gif in 2026 -- usually to avoid engaging on a topic, and to assert the unearned authority of the bland -- they've become the very thing they claim to hate: dull gatekeepers of vapid hearts.

Now and then I contemplate, if I had the money at say, 60, how fun it would be to own, host & curate (not manage), a small no-menu, no customization, improv-based, live jazz & folk café bistro 7AM-1AM. Then I also think how much fun the no sneakers no jeans dress code would be.
