An Irish citizen has been detained by ICE in a concentration camp since September. State media is doing the 'he was no angel' routine. Completely embarrassing.

I'm looking at the record of the guy MVP is fighting. He has 5 UFC fights but you've likely never heard of him or anyone he has fought. I think MVP was fighting more credible guys in Bellator than this Sam Patterson guy has fought in the UFC.

I went to a Christian Brothers school and it was insane. Deranged and psychotic at every level. Having boys-only schools is terrible for social development, and only exists for Christian Shame-related reasons. I wasn't allowed to openly say I didn't believe in god until I went to secondary school!

I have very serious political beliefs. My main tactic is telling everyone that everything they are worried about is a distraction from the real issues.

Rogan when he's in the Epstein files:

I'm trying to resist buying Mewgenics before I finish the game I'm playing right now (Paranormasight), but the temptation is getting the better of me. I need to have it, I must have it.

The Ditch gained access to Jeffrey Epstein’s FedEx account – records show it was used for shipments long after his death and an address book including a senior Israeli military officer now considered a “strategic consultant” for “diplomatic matters”. www.ontheditch.com/gained-acces...

To steal a poker term, you gotta balance your range: you should delete your posts and re-post to fix typos, yes, but you should also sometimes delete them and add new typos. This way, you keep your followers in a state of perpetual confusion.

Melting sweet potatoes in a miso maple glaze. First time making it and I'm glad I did, it turned out great.

The Irish government's vape tax is so funny. I make my own liquids so I'm largely unaffected, but if I want to buy a pre-mixed base liquid (containing VG and PG), that gets taxed at €0.5 *per millilitre*. But I can buy the two separately for €10 per litre and then mix them myself. Nice job boys.

*annoying nerd voice* Ackshually...

Obviously the use of the term 'Indian' here is not good, but more importantly, this guy is clearly an imperialist. It isn't even subtle, this is an insane thing to say.

I'm at the stage in my life where, even though I use Discord every day, I never need much convincing to abandon a platform. I will stop using Discord immediately when this happens. 'But my friends are there!' - I don't care. One must have standards for oneself.

I'm going to be real, I'm kind of sick of being put in a position where I have to be involved in a massive cyberbullying campaign just to have a shot at maintaining my current quality of life. Not even to improve it, not to ensure it won't get worse, but to have a chance for it to not get worse.

I'm at an intersection between Swedish progressives, Norwegian progressives, Italian progressives, Austrian progressives, and most alarming, Photography Enthusiasts. Basically every country's progressive wing is just orbiting around my axis, siphoning my immense power.

this is such marvelous art, especially with the year Tim Kennedy's had. what a moment.

Apparently I made this in 2019. God, I was really committed to shitposting back then. Some say too much.

While yes, it's true that Jon Jones already retired a long time ago, many fighters enter a so-called 'liminal retirement' where they still actively fight for the next 5-10 years. There is also a tertiary retirement where you only fight for orgs that serve as fronts for money laundering, and/or BKFC.

Most of these upcoming UFC cards aren't even worth watching back the next morning. I'm watching the Horiguchi fight and that's it, fuck this.

🗣️MORE. 🗣️WOMEN. 🗣️PEDOPHILES.

It's time for that sporting event that only comes around once every four years: me watching a PFL fight.

Is it weird that the first thing I noticed is the lack of security for someone so reviled?

More deep frying? More deep frying. I think I prefer panko-crusted chicken to just using flour for the batter.

Second volume of Irish bands covering Pavement/David Berman etc. Benefits groups in Gaza. Really nice Margaritas at the Mall cover and reading of the poem Snow. classichiss.bandcamp.com/album/a-rash...

I am once again deep-frying late at night.

*pretending to know what 'prime' means*: He's better than he was in his prime.

The outro for season two of Frieren is sublime. Such beautiful animation. youtu.be/FY4Bx2qtkRM

Jesus fucking Christ lol. Folks, this is a bad one. Brendan Schaub somehow became the voice of reason, for just a moment.

What?

Just gonna leave this here. Make up your own mind about how the show is framing AI use in medicine.

The Pitt update: Dr. Robby continues to sulk around the hospital like a spoiled child. He is supposed to be the AI opposition of the show, but his replacement (the AI-advocate dr) just keeps stacking up wins at his expense. Can't wait for the fabled AI Bad plotline everyone insists must be coming.

Christianity is a fucking blight. www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

Lmao this is incredible. I mean, you might as well just turn yourself in if Schaub knows your secrets.

What a time to be alive.

I saw that guy post something like 'I still believe in the American dream from civics class' and libs were in the comments applauding him. Maddening. You won't beat ethnonationalist ideologies by having a better national ideology. The core *needs* to be shared humanity, or the centre will not hold.

Peter Attia tried to do an 'apology' apparently. It went very badly! Even the Twitter morons are like '@grok does peter attia feel warmth for his child?'

Lmao

Attia has that Bryan Callen energy to him. You hear he's diddling kids on an island somewhere and you just think 'yeah that makes perfect sense, no need to elaborate further.'

This is how I found out that Winnie the Pooh is public domain now.

The UFC will do anything to avoid letting Movsar sniff the belt, and I can't say I blame them. I've watched all of his fights but my mind treats them as noise and filters them out. I couldn't even describe his style if I tried.

giving this a monday morning bump

Bud has been sticking his paws out in the air like he's a fucking zombie, so that when he gains ground, he can immediately drop his weight. And he has learned that dropping his weight makes it very hard for me to beat him. This dog is a fucking DEMON at tug of war.

I just don't think it's an honest argument to point at decontextualized counting stats for users and say that's "confronting reality." Duck Duck Go gets more queries than ChatGPT. Set aside the valuation and investment money and it's actually quite a minor player. bsky.app/profile/anil...

there is more active use of Yahoo search than all LLM search combined, including ChatGPT, and LLM growth is actively slowing. I don't know what's to be gained by pretending this tech is some unstoppable juggernaut or essential tool that people can't and won't give up.
