A video for Nashville-based electronica artist Makeup And Vanity Set (Michael Pusti) by Saman Kesh and Justin Daashuur Hopkins in which a tech enthusiast attempts to scam a retail platform by claiming his new monitor was never delivered, requesting a refund.
At first, the site’s AI reacts politely to the scammer’s increasing rudeness, then it exacts sweet revenge.
Whys and wherefores here.

This afternoon.
Dublin and Cork city centres.
Protests today following statements made during a trial in Cork last week in which a 27-year-old man accused of raping a 17-year-old girl was found not guilty.
Barrister Elizabeth O’Connell SC, for the accused, had asked the jury to consider what the woman was wearing, saying:
“Does the evidence out-rule the possibility that she was attracted to the defendant and was open to meeting someone and being with someone? You have to look at the way she was dressed. She was wearing a thong with a lace front.”

It’s a genuine wonder that anyone reports sexual assault in this country. https://t.co/wgJehs0xwa pic.twitter.com/xzSle5vZbL

In her closing address to the jury, Ms Elizabeth O’Connell SC [for the unnamed accused] told jurors they should have regard for the underwear the complainant wore on the night.
“Does the evidence out-rule the possibility that she was attracted to the defendant and was open to meeting someone and being with someone? You have to look at the way she was dressed. She was wearing a thong with a lace front.”

They all had it coming.
A chartered accountant who admitted stealing money from clients and engaging in an accountancy practice known as teeming and lading was given a four-year suspended jail sentence yesterday for the theft of €162,000. James Hackett, aged 63, of 22 Ashington, Brooklodge, Glanmire, Co Cork, was given the suspended term at Cork Circuit Criminal Court. Dermot Sheehan BL, defence barrister, said that because some of the monies were put into the accounts of other clients, the actual losses did not total €162,000, but that injured parties were out of pocket to the total of over €53,000. By appealing to family and a large group of friends, Hackett had been able to gather that compensation in full, the balance to be lodged with his solicitor within days for payment of the injured parties, said Mr Sheehan.
