In response to the new Oasis tour announcement, Ticketmaster has announced that they've doubled their IT and customer support staff to deal with expected demand.
Both employees are very excited but they will have to share a desk.

I saw Coyote vs Acme yesterday. It’s brilliant, really funny great performances all around but I can’t help feeling that the live action and animation merging doesn’t look as good as Who Framed Roger Rabbit from 1988.

I worked on our studio's first game over evenings and weekends with a two year old kid. I made it work. I know many people who have done the same. It can be done.
Having kids not an excuse for making educational books with wrong information or games with terrible soulless art.

The amount of working artists I've spoken to who are losing or have lost the ability to make a viable career out of it due largely to people's use of genAI instead of hiring artists is genuinely so upsetting. We won't know what we've lost until it's gone.

The discount will still be running until the end of August so there's plenty of time left to either buy one or work out exactly how many of my foes to slay in exchange for one A4 or A3 print
36 today, the same age as Kekulé when the structure of benzene came to him in a dream. I dreamt that a T-Rex was loose in Tralee last night, and have yet to apply it to the field of chemistry. 'Til then, there's 15% off all prints on www.ciaraioch.com/artprints using the code BIRTHDAY at checkout 🎂

I saw that new Minions movie this morning at an ungodly hour and had to enviously watch the sold out Odyssey screening file in.
Well I’m going to say it, the Minions have never wasted my money. If you like one of them you like them all and that was no different. With the most adorable villain ever!
