"We just want elon musk to be our nazi" - some dems after witnessing the past few months

I told you that the foreshadowing this season was lazy and forced.

oh mary puh leeze

A tiny spider got into my hair today after I walked under a tree - I wasn't quite fast enough to move the strand of silk when I saw it climbing upwards. Good hunting little one.

This is worst guy you know makes a great point territory, and Biden's aides should hang from lampposts for what they allowed to happen in Gaza, but I wonder if Trump's little helpers will be looking at the precedent being set and advising him him to back off in a spirit of bipartisan magnanimity.

Frans Halsstraat, Amsterdam in 1982 and today

side effect of AI-in-higher-ed: having to spend my ONE WILD AND PRECIOUS LIFE googling footnotes for articles that I can't believe I missed off my reading lists only to discover that they aren't, in fact, real articles

Sure, but the IDF shot the head off one of your colleagues three years ago then openly lied to you about it, and you did nothing. One of their snipers blew out the brains of a guy ITV were talking to, who was holding a white flag, the second the camera was switched off. And it was no big deal.

The ludicrous softball interview with an Irish OpenAI exec in today's Irish Times has pushed me over the edge and I am now the kind of man who writes letters to the editor of the Irish Times.

"Who he," this man asks, while taking great pains to stop others from finding out who HE is.

I feel utterly helpless 💔 I walked more than 10 kilometers in search of food.

People need to remember that the Dunnes workers were out on strike for nearly two years before the government acted due to public pressure. So this government promised pre-election to enact OTB, and have reneged thus. They won't act now unless there's overwhelming public pressure.

"I was just following orders."

centrist: we need to focus on popular policy me: holy shit! you mean we’re finally going to support universal healthcare? centrist: no haha not that policy me: ok so…gun control? centrist: no lol not that policy either me: ok which policy? centrist: oh you know the ones

Please read this headline. Read it twice. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Representatives from Labour Friends of Israel are there *this week*, shaking hands and doing photo ops with the president

I just want a world where people undergoing a literal genocide aren't treated as annoying interruptions.

Fake it til you get charged with defrauding investors: www.dexerto.com/entertainmen...

'The Government’s words of solidarity and condemnation, let alone paltry action, mean less than nothing when it is entrenched State policy to allow multinational companies to launder profits reaped from genocide and apartheid.' Brilliant article

Best of luck in the Leaving Cert today to the one Irish person under the age of 20 on Bluesky who joined by accident and hasn't logged in since

Journalists when Kekmaster88 is mad at them: Where did we go wrong as an industry? Me must engage in deep soul searching and also immediately give thirty seven weird monarchists regular opinion columns. Journalists when trans people are mad at them: Yet more proof that we are bold truth tellers.

The war's horrors multiply. The dead, the pieces of the dead. The dying. The starving. - Fergal Keane, BBC. May 14, 2025.

I just don't know how people see this and can be fine going on with things as they are. There's nothing that can justify the sheer cruelty of this.

The Leaving Cert, for my non-irish followers, is an ancient, annual ritual where our nation sacrifices its 18 year olds on the altar of carpal tunnel and a lifetime of anxiety dreams to ensure two weeks of sunshine. It is our shameful pact with the Old Ones.

someone once yelled at me for a "spoiler" for, I think, Citizen Kane

I've yet to read a piece of commentary in any major outlet that tries to deal with what it might mean for democracy in Europe that governments are so badly out of step with their electorates about how whether war crimes and genocide are to be opposed or ignored.

What if the reason the centre right (and that's being generous to "Under New Management UK Labour") adopt racist messaging not because of electoral goals but because of class interests?

Same for Ireland too

Not insignificant chance this dude gets eaten by a pack of the feral post-apocalypse kids from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome who believe he’s a magic egg

“Dr. al-Farra said that most of the victims were children aged between 10 and 13, many with gunshot wounds to the head or chest.”

so I went to the apple App Store and it appears these reviews are being removed? i dont see any referencing the unfair removal of palestinians

good reminder that there are no 'legitimate concerns' there is just violence or the threat of violence. (the racism gazebo is gone as of this morning i saw)
