@CiaraNi
reference to real knowledge or smart choices?
@Nickiquote@EregLoch I amn't sure what you mean. If you are asking about the phrase: it is a satirical phrase from Private Eye magazine that has become a phrase in general culture when pretending to allude to dark secrets and conspiracies being hidden from ius.

@CiaraNi Very cool, Sally and others who pushed back!
@munin Agreed! And good on Mayo County Council for making a decision based on the merits and facts. Local authorities always should, of course, but generative AI data centre facilities seem to have made even sensible politicians and public officials lose their faculties.

@CiaraNi @Nickiquote my best guess is it's really a story about the owl, Sally Rooney, pictured here perched on the gauntlet of bestselling author Sally Rooney (no relation)

@NellytheWillow @EregLoch @Nickiquote Ah, ok. I didn't know that reference, so had no context, so was lost.

@CiaraNi Absolutely! High fives all around!

@syrovy @Nickiquote Perhaps! One never knows.

@Gogs @Nickiquote What was the owl doing at a council meeting in the first place, is what I'd like to know.
