Next time somebody asks me what Bluesky is like, I'll send them this

Hi #PortfolioDay I'm JP, a comic colorist/writer who has worked with 2000 AD, Boom, First Second, IDW, Image, Mad Cave, Maverick, Titan and more I have three big projects ending very soon so now is the best time to hire me for your book! Portfolio: jpjordan.carrd.co Let's make some comics!

people conflate the bubble (a financial phenomenon) with the technology (which will absolutely persist after OpenAI go bust, if they do). maybe the financial prediction is correct but the technological one is very foolish.

i don't think the "AI Bubble" is going to "burst". I think these lads are so powerful now that they have created their own reality, that we live in. Essentially a matrix. And even if material conditions have half of us unemployed or an apple costs 100 quid, the show will never reflect a crisis.

Goodnight from the bit of the Kingdom underneath this (might need to throw the brightness up on a phone to see it) - highly recommend going outside for a look, helluva sky tonight 🌌

you know that critique of ai that says it’s like taking a forklift to the gym and expecting to get stronger? well this bit of that guardian article about people using chatgpt in dating apps kinda proves it correct

Have just seen a post on X featuring a screenshot of a house share offer in Kerry, digitally altered to say “No Irish”. The actual ad can be found online easily and of course says no such thing, but the target audience hasn’t checked and is reacting predictably. This will only get worse.

Anyhoo the sky in Kerry was Good this morning

Know it's technically correct that Ireland hasn't been in a World Cup for over 23 years, as they said in the commentary, but it doesn't FEEL right

Additionally, it was completely overshadowed by the counter protest which me be worth mentioning. #Spéirghorm

In many ways, women and spiders have a great deal in common - independent, do a lot of work that isn't seen or valued, spend the autumn scuttling around in the shadows on our hairy legs looking for a mate before the winter sets in while people point at us and scream, etc.

It's lovely to have visitors ✨

Over 200 unique, funny, odd and original pictures available at my Etsy shop. Please. My printer is very thirsty. marswasrubbish.etsy.com/uk/listing/1...

Absolutely gross but not surprising carry-on from Joe Brolly

Even being familiar with the work of Yates I can't believe he's saying this out loud

What hope is there for prospective homeowners when this is the reality faced by us? Homes consistently going for above asking prices. Investment firms and vulture funds purchasing lots of new builds. No political will to address the situation. #spéirgorm www.thejournal.ie/myhomes-ie-n...

Evictions include people with disabilities and children - 13 of the children go to one local school, and their families will have to move outside the catchment area as there is so little available to rent in Killarney. There's a petition to prevent it here: www.change.org/p/prevent-a-...

This has been an ongoing problem which is courtesy of a Luxembourg investment fund that owns thousands of houses in Ireland. These are rented out through one of the dozens of subsidiary companies that the fund uses to obscure its ownership. www.dublininquirer.com/why-is-one-o...

On Kerry Today with @jerosullivanrk.bsky.social - - 34 people, including 15 children living in a Killarney housing estate, face homelessness as their landlord begins a mass eviction process. - 14 households have received termination notices. www.radiokerry.ie/news/34-kill...

Me when I see Elon Musk screen caps on here:

Saw a few of those new Sora AI videos pop up on Instagram and hoo boy are we cooked. Don't know how we're going to be able to trust any visual media in the near future.

My sincere thanks to everyone who has supported the Global Sumud Flotilla. I'm home safe & will be followed by the other Irish people today. I'm just catching up and have much more to share but for now I am so so grateful for everyone's attempts to free us. Remember that Gaza is the story not us.

A cost-of-living crisis isn't the easiest time to sell art, but: www.ciaraioch.com is where you can support my work, with each archival-quality print on textured heavy paper being produced here in Ireland, shipping internationally in eco-friendly packaging, with free mini-treats in every order 🎁

Parents, please teach your offspring to swim and to drive before they're in their 20s because it's SO much harder (and consequently more expensive) as adults. Ideally, they should be swimming comfortably as a young child and able to drive an articulated lorry cross country by age six

At this stage, my main motivation for trying to learn enough Gaeilge to be able to post on here in it is to no longer receive replies from the specific type of North Americans that are all over the timeline at the moment having an absolute meltdown in Irish people's mentions. We can free ourselves.

This is just such a no-brainer win for everybody that I hope that it gets rolled out in a much bigger way.

The one major gripe I have with being bigger is not being able to wear the kinds of clothes I want to wear because the plus-size options and silhouettes are so limited. They just don't make "garb of a leathery-winged bloodthirsty assassin of foolish men who have wronged womankind" in UK 18-20.

Budget 2026: State’s basic income scheme for artists made permanent

@sarahmaintains.bsky.social is on her way home. So much relief, but also so much admiration for her bravery and the bravery of all those on the @freedomflotilla.bsky.social Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

In order to avoid confusion for the small but vocal subsection of North Americans on here who do not seem to understand other nations exist, please indicate your posts are from and related to Ireland by ONLY typing them while juggling a potato in the shape of Darby O'Gill and doing a frenzied jig

Smart seagulls in Marino, Dublin. Fool the worms into thinking it’s raining.

At a gig and just saw the Kerry FC score

thank god nobody mentioned president hillery otherwise his head would probably have exploded

I don't have many @kerryfc.bsky.social drawings yet, but today they play the biggest game in their short history, an FAI Cup semi final v Shamrock Rovers in Tallaght, 1 game away from the Aviva! They're no Longford Town but most of my extended family is from Kerry 🫡 Also live on RTÉ🟢🟡

This, my friends, is why we should all really try to buy Irish. Just like @lowensskincare.bsky.social, most SMEs here are family businesses. The loss of the US market is going to have a huge impact on us. Please make an effort to support Irish business. #SLATED slated.ie

Designed these wedding for the lovely Linda and Shane - they wanted to combine elements of their homelands of Fenit and west Kerry, including the lighthouse and Macha na Bó, in a celebration of rural and maritime life and the coming together of two beautiful parts of the Kingdom.

Oh shit it's been a week since I put this out into the world! My first game! Over 3000 people have played it! That's bloody lovely, that is!! That's LOADS of people! And people have said nice things! And some people streamed it! Eee!

How fares Donegal

Tree reported down on the main Killarney - Tralee Road N22 on the Tralee side of Farranfore. Council crew dispatched. Please drive at reduced speed and with caution - winds have significantly picked up in Kerry in the last hour! #StormAmy

🇵🇸 Look at this solidarity! Even more great civil society organisations have endorsed our National Demonstration for Palestine tomorrow. See you at the Garden of Remembrance at 12.30pm, all out for Palestine! #FreePalestine #GazaGenocide 🇵🇸

I’m 25 people away from 200 followers on Patreon.com/pjholden. Which is brilliant! I should do some sort of digital download reward when we get there. iPhone image backgrounds maybe? Something like that!
