Rather than feel powerless and afraid towards the AfD, Pongratz urges listeners to ditch their phone, join forces with trusted friends, organise fundraisers, spray anti-fascist slogans around their town. They should track down right-wing extremists to their homes and workplaces, raid their rubbish, chat them up using fake dating platform profiles, out them to their friends, colleagues, neighbours. "Nobody will want a Nazi pig neighbour," he sings, warning them to cover their tracks online and never trust the German police, "where there are just as many faschos". "History shows that it will only be worse if we do nothing and remain silent," he says, concluding his song with "greetings to Lina, Gucci, Maja and Nanuk". According to ZDF these names tally with those of four convicted left-wing activists, a final black mark against the song. In the 100th episode of Die Anstalt, already filmed and online and set to air on Tuesday, the three presenters defy their own station by reading out the entire lyric - to loud applause from the studio audience.
I feel like I'm going nuts. There are other commenters saying this is a good practice they've also done for other injuries. You are saying you are an actual radiologist and immediately clock the problems with its advice. I have seen this pattern over and over again. Anytime someone is an actual expert at anything, AI output appears insufficient or incomplete or outright misleading. It is only when you do not know what the AI is being asked to do is it likely you will find the output helpful. This is itself alarming to me, but no one else seems to find this to be quite damning for the AI services being offered, preferring instanced to be wowed by the convenience and speed at which they can be delivered unreviewed and unproven information.

In this one-off, he spends a lot of his time at the graves of his dead family, muttering incoherently to himself. Frank Castle really needs both bereavement counselling and elocution lessons, but writers lean heavily into the cathartic properties of undertaking a vigilante massacre instead. It just goes to show that men will go to war with and ultimately destroy all the main crime families in New York City rather than go to counselling.

Harris asks banks to examine possible facilitation of online child porn payments
Suppliers of drinks containing between five and eight grammes of sugar per 100mls have been paying an additional 5c on a 330ml can. And for drinks with more than eight grammes per 100mls, that rises to 8c a can. So is the sugar tax really making unhealthy fizzy drinks more expensive? When we visit the soft drinks aisle of our local supermarket, are the high sugar carbonated drinks costing more? Dr Frank Houghton from the Technological University of the Shannon, led a team of researchers who monitored prices of carbonated drinks across Ireland. "What we found was in supermarkets, for 60% of products that should have shown a price difference based on the sugar tax, there was no difference. "The situation in hospitality venues, like cafes pubs, hotels, was even more dramatic. We found 88% of the time, people were paying the same price."
Because of the diplomatic aspects of the president’s role, the Áras has traditionally had a strong relationship with the Department of Foreign Affairs. However, Higgins clearly feels he was traduced by its officials. He also suggested there was leaking against the current President, Catherine Connolly, and against Ministers. “It’s all very subtle,” Higgins said. “It isn’t just presidents, past and current, who are suffering from that leaking tendency, but the Ministers.” Higgins added there were also “very fine officials” in the department, naming former secretary general Noel Dorr, but the Sunday Independent said he “firmly believes the department now needs to be reined in”. Dorr retired from the department in the mid-1990s. The department declined to comment on Higgins’s remarks. However, one senior official familiar with interactions between the former president and the department rejected Higgins’ view of them, suggesting the department had “protected” Higgins over the years, “mostly from himself”.

IMF trims global growth forecast due to Iran war and warns of bigger possible hit
Revenue has registered judgment mortgages against the home and 68 acres of farmland owned by one of the leaders of the fuel protests, who last week denied that he owed the taxman any money. The collector general has secured six debt judgments against James Geoghegan in the past 6½ years for a total of almost €550,000. All of these are currently recorded as unsatisfied. However, Geoghegan, an agricultural contractor from Westmeath, said last week there was “no issue” and claimed that the Revenue Commissioners actually owed him €89,000. He appeared in a video posted on social media at the weekend alongside Senator Sharon Keogan in which he said: “It’s all false, I don’t owe them any money.
In the past week, I’ve seen accounts that have never once posted about politics, lifestyle pages, humour accounts, food and travel profiles with hundreds of thousands of followers, have been sharing hot takes on the government and the winding down of the fuel protests. No nuance, no context, just confident opinion delivered to an audience that followed them for entirely different reasons.

The Government is working on the introduction of a temporary Fuel Support Scheme to assist farmers, hauliers, and contractors most impacted by the spike in fuel costs caused by the conflict in the Middle East. It is understood the scheme will be discussed at meetings with representative groups today, including those from the agriculture, transport and fisheries sectors. Government sources say the Fuel Support Scheme will be targeted at those directly involved in Ireland’s food supply. These groups are considered to have been the most affected by the increase in fuel costs and will be supported with direct payments under the plan.

Gardaí are present but are maintaining a discrete presence inside the blockade, and some can be seen chatting to the protesters. One garda source said their intention is simply to remain engaged with the protesters and avoid any action that might lead to an escalation. “These are very decent people who have a grievance over fuel prices and we’re not intent on doing anything at this stage that might inflame the situation and hopefully the Government can come up with a solution to resolve the problem sooner rather than later,” said a garda source.
Independent Ireland TD Richard O’Donoghue said in an online statement that the M7 is “currently empty due to effective protests on the motorway in both directions. “Well done to all involved, including An Garda Síochána who have been very understanding and working with the protesters to ensure the protest is done safely.”

“Many Irish people, who have been here for many years, don’t want to go into this type of detention, which is worse than prison. Their assumption is they wouldn’t survive 30 days in detention,” he said. A lot of his Irish friends, he said, who voted for Donald Trump, thought he would never go after the Irish.
