Me is in big trouble this morning! I let Daisy 🐶 upstairs early, say 5 am ⏰. She opened my daughter's door and jumped on her 🛌. Now I must find a place to hide 🙈 'cause she ain't exactly impressed. Be afraid, Be very afraid! 😨😰 #Dogs

Good morning, world! What a wonderful day to be alive.

Democracy wielded by a dis and misinformed public and government is a road to tyranny! 🚨 Welcome to the age of disinformation: the post-truth era—proverbial hell! 🌐 #Democracy #PostTruth #Disinformation

Stop! Don't leave a social media platform to join an isolated community elsewhere. Closed-off groups and limited viewpoints are dangerous to a free and open society. The world needs #balance – the middle path, not extremes. The #world is your Tribe; narrow-minded groups are not⚖️

A poem about the dangers of #P01135809

I detest that on SM sites, brevity prevents me from fully expressing what I mean. #SM #SocialMedia

Sentience vs. sapience: I'm confused! Are all humans truly 'sapient' when conspiratorial beliefs are so mainstream? Maybe we're sentient, but sapient? People voted for Donald Trump! Time to stir the pot. 🤔 #PostTruth #Sapience #KingOfLies

If we agree that all human beings are persons and that "persons" deserve respect, what aspects of personhood justify discrimination based on race, sexuality, or nationality? Let's unpack this. #EndHate #Xenophobia #LGBTQI+ #Racism

What is the measure of "a person:" Is it as simple as being human? Is it a more nuanced construct? Does personhood require self-awareness? Does it require free will? #personhood #Ethics

Devastated to hear about the tragic loss in #Clonmel. While journalism plays a critical role in society, there are ethical lines that should not be crossed. Flying a drone over such a painful scene and airing the footage disregards the privacy and grief of the affected families. #EthicalJournalism @Independent_ie

My thought for the morning: An ancient philosopher once stated that a person who cooks potatoes and peas in the same pot is very unsanitary.

My morning beef about Beef!
We are consumers, whether #food, other goods, or #information. Over my morning coffee, I had a discussion with ChatGPT about the following:
Let's talk #language and why it matters: "The beef in our burgers is 100% Irish;" Yes, but where is the horse from?
In a world where words are weapons, knowledge is our shield! Scientia sit potentia: (knowledge is power)
Sophisticated tools that evaluate language are susceptible to misinterpretation. https://bit.ly/3qKCtJP

Let me tell you a secret about puppets — they do not know they are puppets: do you? Puppeteers control their puppet pets reflexively and with great skill. Social media algorithms make extraordinary puppet masters.
