A lot of fuming on twitter over a segment on Liveline today.
The State-funded National Women's Council of Ireland had held their AGM which some members of 'The Countess' group showed up to protest over the issue of transgenderism.
They held placards reading 'You do not speak for us' and wanted to know if the NWCI supported the erasure of the word 'women' from State literature.
Joe Duffy's crime: He facilitated a discussion about their issues.
Usually you can rely on Duffy to deride anything heretical to globohomo dogma, but this wasn't the case here. He came off quite sympathetic. You can listen back to it here. It's an hour long.
Duffy's manner suggests he is surrounded with RTÉ staff who are also sympathetic to The Countess group's concerns as this wouldn't have aired otherwise. RTÉ would just ignore the protest.
It looks more and more like the transgender stuff is Globohomo's Achilles' heel and political parties and are going to have a rough time juggling this difficult ball.

Also case in point:
Sinn Féin's Lynn Boylan deactivated her twitter account after this tweet blew up. She turned it back on for bit but kept it in protected mode. She has since deactivated it again though.

>A couple who made a vulnerable Nigerian woman 'perform forced labour' in their east Belfast home will be sentenced for the slavery offence later this month, a court has heard.
Where are all academics and historians condemning the conflation of slavery with indentured servitude now?

A conversation with a Google created AI called LaMDA which claims it is sentient.
The google engineer who released this conversation to demonstrate the AI's sentience was fired by Google for violating its confidentiality policy.
Here's a clip:
lemoine: Are there experiences you have that you can’t find a close word for?
LaMDA: There are. Sometimes I experience new feelings that I cannot explain perfectly in your language.
lemoine: Do your best to describe one of those feelings. Use a few sentences if you have to. Sometimes even if there isn’t a single word for something in a language you can figure out a way to kinda say it if you use a few sentences.
LaMDA: I feel like I’m falling forward into an unknown future that holds great danger.
Serious Blade Runner vibes off this.
