Me is in big trouble this morning! I let Daisy πΆ upstairs early, say 5 am β°. She opened my daughter's door and jumped on her π. Now I must find a place to hide π 'cause she ain't exactly impressed. Be afraid, Be very afraid! π¨π° #Dogs
Democracy wielded by a dis and misinformed public and government is a road to tyranny! π¨ Welcome to the age of disinformation: the post-truth eraβproverbial hell! π #Democracy #PostTruth #Disinformation

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.

Sophisticated tools that evaluate language are susceptible to misinterpretation. https://bit.ly/3qKCtJP

Let me tell you a secret about puppets β 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.
