Just watched the latest #KnivesOut movie. It's very good. It hits differently though, when you know that apple only lets the good/innocent guys use iphones when their products are placed in films and TV shows 😒

Honestly I hate parrying in videogames. I either want to bash things beat-em-up style or take my time turn based style. But Claire Obscure is so beautiful and the story and atmosphere so compelling I put up with it.

well here she is! my very first solo game and all about Ireland's best deli choice: the Chicken Fillet Roll. free to play in browser. LMK what roll you decide to make & if you get the feels or a laugh, even better. this is a roll-driven game. made lovingly in Twine unaminh.itch.io/chicken-fill...

We're really glad people are finding this article revealing. It was only possible due to our readers and donors, so the trans journalists who did the interview, edited it and laid it out made a living wage from our worker-run news org instead of struggling in dire poverty. Support TNN here:

I love this

I predict the U.K. Govt and the European Commission will end up minimising the significance of this decision when it threatens the UK’s adequacy finding that allows them access to the EU market for data.

New year, new estrogen injection. Ahhh 😊

If the left work with Sinn féin and they continue to attack trans children, their healthcare and bodily autonomy then they are all complicit. If they attack immigrants and hate speech they are also all complicit. You'll be nothing more than FF/Lab 2.0. Every little hurts 2.0

NO

Roundup of last year: My trans moral panics article came out: bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journal... And I also did an interview based on it for @reacpolrn.bsky.social : reacpol.net/moral-panics... (screenshot of a paragraph from this below)

2025, it’s been a year. Our small volunteer team is immensely proud of everything we’ve been able to do. We couldn’t have done any of it without your help. We will keep fighting, together 🏳️‍⚧️

For years I've been saying how unprepared Ireland is for what is coming - I've observed the same rise of fascism happening over two decades in Scandinavia, and it is now essentially mainstream. Ireland will be no different.

SF have shown no inclination to lean left. For the last decade and more, have always been the last to get in line with left wing parties, and shown an instinct to jump right at every opportunity. They are not a left wing party, they are FF 2.0.

Over the years, Snopes has covered a number of rumors related to the relationship between Trump and Epstein. Here are 22 of them: www.snopes.com/collections/...

A liar thinks everyone lies. This is quintessential psychological projection. Pure narcissistic hypocrisy.

I asked Gary Lineker for directions in Barcelona once. Didn't realise it was him until I started talking to him. He looked at me like I'd two heads. Said he didn't know, though I suspect he thought I knew who he was and just wanted to get rid of me lol. I was too embarrassed to say I recognised him.

Let this be a warning to Irish politicians! There's absolutely no reason to copy anything coming from the UK when it comes to our rights and freedoms. Ireland needs to finally grow up, stand on our own two feet and think for ourselves.

YouGov found that 91% of trans, non-binary, and intersex adults distrust the UK Labour party, that two-thirds now feel unsafe in the UK, with 25% reporting they have suffered physical violence. Another poll found that LGBTQ+ voters are increasingly abandoning UK Labour, often in favour the Greens.

Here’s the report and it’s worth reading in full. Our current anti-immigrant, anti-integration trajectory is not only morally reprehensible but is leading us toward a demographic disaster #speirghorm www.nesc.ie/building-a-v...

DUNESTRUCK

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

This is a really really good game

Vampire Survivors is like crack! 🤣

The Irish Times using "He didn't actually achieve anything but he was VERY racist" as their excuse to give O'Callahan their politician of the year award is just so perfectly on brand for that fascist rag.

Catherine Connolly: Becomes president in 2025 by winning the biggest single personal mandate in the history of the state. @irishtimes.com : The politician of the year is absolutely the guy who keeps doing racisms.

Ok, I replaced the game I didn't click with with one I know I'm defo gonna enjoy. Really happy with my Christmas haul this year. I'm beginning to understand what I like in terms of modern games. It's a great time to be a gamer. So many incredible titles to choose from.

Jesus some of these shows are 30-40 years old. I've been in my house over 2 years and haven't even bothered to connect the aerial and satellite dish to the tv

Refunded a game I got because i didn't click with it. Went for steam credit thinking I'd get the funds quicker but that doesn't seem to be the case and now I'm just hoping it arrives before the steam sale ends. Ah well.

Ok yeah. Tokyo Godfathers is my new favourite Christmas film 🥹

Disco Elesyum is free today on the epic game store. Would definitely pick that up if you don't have it already...

Paige Behan, a trans woman said “they knew they had failed me. & in doing so, they underscored a much broader truth: there is an urgent, undeniable need for both education and compassion in trans healthcare”. Recently the Minister & the Junior Minister for health have publicly committed to changes.

Happy Christmas to me 😌

Happy Christmas from Pepito el Cachorro 🎄🎁🐕

Tiny Tim, who did NOT hit her. He did not. Oh hi, ghost

Merry Christmas to everyone who's no contact with their family. I hope you are keeping well ❤️‍🩹

Finally got the tree up! Glad we're all feeling somewhat better before the big day. It's a Latina Christmas in our house so we will be having most of our fun this evening. Feliz Navidad!🇦🇷 Nollaig Shona Daoibh 🇮🇪

think the epstein conversation’d be more bearable as a survivor if i thought more people talking about it nonstop were committed to the kind of radical politics that might one day lead to a just society for us but it’s mostly libs using it to dunk on big cheeto the same way they’d use elonia stuff

This is just inexcusable. We're talking about approx 1000ish trans women out of 900,000 women with menopause. It's disgusting!

I've never witnessed a bubble being so openly talked about. Usually bubbles seem to sort of come out of the blue, obviously there's always people in the know etc but it's really eerie, like the moon slowly crashing towards earth. What the hell are we supposed to do in these circumstances?

I don't know all the details or ins and outs of how Larian is using AI. AFAIK They still have to fully explain. That said, if games cross a certain threshold with gen AI, I feel copyright is essentially invalidated and piracy is in fact the right thing to do. That's how you can tame the AI beast.

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

Since the Guardian are doing the "a handful of women’s groups have started to question the “unintended consequences”" thing, time to repost the open letter from Irish feminists telling UK transphobes to piss off

Huh, first thing that comes up on my tiktok feed this morning

i wish people would stop saying that people like me being driven forcefully out of public life and murdered is a distraction from stuff that matters

The whole house has been in bits from a bad cold and we're so fucked noone has managed to even put up the Christmas decorations yet 🫩
