An important message to fellow loyalists. At the time of going to print, Translink could not give an assurance that BOYNE BRIDGE PLACE will be open for our parade on 29th November, this is in spite of stating that it would open in November; it could be December before it is opened. The parade will go ahead on the 29th and should the road still be close, we shall hold a protest before taking an alternative route. Up to date information will be provided on Facebook pages: "Boyne Bridge Defenders" & "Sandy Row Residents & Former Residents Forum". I hope to see you all at the two events: Details on this leaflet.

When Microsoft Copilot is asked a question about a traditional Irish song featured in the Kneecap movie it accurately identifies the song and the scene from the movie along with identifying the tone and message of the scene, but then falls into hallucinating a scenario where Kneecap were in the scene listening to their own music, which inspires them to create Irish hip-hop.

A screenshot of the villain, Lady Cassandra, from the second episode of the 2005 Doctor Who reboot, describing looking out on Earth from an orbiting space station and reminiscing on her life before she transitioned. Nobody in the episode challenges her choice of toilets, likely because while now biologically female she's a brain in a jar attached to some skin and in-universe it's not determined how she does a pee.

kakistocracy (n.) "government by the worst element of a society," 1829, coined (by Thomas Love Peacock) on analogy of its opposite, aristocracy, from Greek kakistos "worst," superlative of kakos "bad" (which perhaps is related to PIE root *kakka- "to defecate") + -cracy. Perhaps the closest word in ancient Greek was kakonomia "a bad system of laws and government," hence kakonomos "with bad laws, ill-governed." Related entries & more *kakka- also kaka-, Proto-Indo-European root meaning "to defecate." According to Watkins, "imitative of glottal closure during defecation." It forms all or part of: caca; cachexia; caco-; cacoethes; cacophony; cucking stool; kakistocracy; poppycock.
