one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

Writing is so weird. Partner has a fantasy creature in-game that's like an Axolotl with leaves for the tail/spikes and now I'm spending hours on research trying to figure out the cultural nuances of naming a creature with real world roots in Aztec mythology

Had to migrate to the couch because the chronic pain was kicking it up a notch and my cat curled into my boob and purred. Burst into tears I love my fluff ball

“many angry posts should have been naps or little packets of crackers” is deep wisdom and you don’t need to reproduce to embrace it!

in: earnestness out: cynicism that keeps you at a distance from what and who you love

First lines I heard as we hit midnight here on the East Coast: “And some got their miracle. Not being cured or fixed, but finding the sustaining power to wake up every day and do what we're here to do, in spite of the pain. Daily bread.” Happy new year, friends. May this one be kinder.

My friend is a big Shadowhunters fan so I got her the new anthology for Christmas and did some custom wrapping

And I was only just talking yesterday about how I won't name and shame games using genAI assets, because false accusations can and do happen, and I don't want to be responsible for putting some innocent developer on blast over vibes. Now you can see exactly why and how easy it is to fuck up royally.

Finally started Interview eith a Vampire, watched the first three episodes. The adaptational choices they made are so so smart.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

now thats a headline right there

Wow. It finally happened. I’d heard things for some time and always wondered if anyone would ever act. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I had a lot of packing paper from a recent order so I decided to upcycle it into sustainable wrapping paper. Really happy with how it turned out

I posted on Facebook about my daughter dragging me to the mall two days ago. Look what Google's AI turned the post into for click bait. WTF is happening to the Internet, man? Seriously. And my post had NOTHING to do with my disability (I'm also NOT a "lower limb amputee).

We're so close everyone! Only a little over 150 to go! Many thanks to @caseyexplosion.bsky.social for the boost! #IrishGameDev #IndieDev #GameDev #IrishCreatives #IrishGameDomination #SpeirGhorm #IndieGame

I wonder what the British “contribution” was when they came to Bengal, or Kenya, or Palestine, or China, or…

I'm enjoying the shade thrown at national embarrassment John Boyne, and this is a great video in general, but mostly here for the shade, it's extraordinarily cathartic.

Had my first braces appointment today. Turns out he's Palestinian and when he heard my accent he got excited and gave me his "Irish" discount 😭❤️😭 Saoirse don Phailistín 🇵🇸🇮🇪

Thinking a bit about why every woman into men on the Internet has seemed to fall in love with Orkhonbayar Bayarsaikhan on Physical Asia and I think its because he's what actual masculinity is supposed to embody. Smart, a great leader, self-assured, kind, respectful, positive and successful.

sometimes the creators of your childhood favorite games refuse to re-release or remaster their 20yo game despite it being a massive success at the time and you just have to take matters into your own hand 😌

Got sent an unsolicited dick pick for the first time in years and I'm kind of fascinated as to what the thought process was behind that choice. What was it about my lukewarm takes in the Pokemon trading card forum that prompted that response

If you ever wanted to get the Proteus Controller, but didn't want a whole 30+ piece of kit, the Aurora Series is perfect for you. And it's from an Irish company too! #GamesAccessibility #Accessibility #A11y #IrishGameDev #IndieDev #GameDev #IrishCreatives #SpeirGhorm #IrishGameDomination

Open AI loses copyright case in Germany. Judge Elke Schwager summarized the case saying that if you want to build something and need components, "then you purchase them and do not use the property of others."

Watching Physical Asia makes me feel like a lusty wanton slut my apologies to the athletes

reminder that those who complain about people calling #Irish 'Gaelic', rarely do anything else for actual language rights (apart from bringing this up). it also shows their ignorance. they don't really care about the language... good in-depth piece: irishlanguage.ie/gaelic-gaeil... #gaeilge

I hope you dont mind me asking but how does one shop for a cozy flannel online? My father is in his 80s and all he's asked me for for christmas is a very soft comfortable flannel shirt he can wear. Any brands that ship to the UK/Ireland that are quality? @dieworkwear.bsky.social

Ms Rachel says The New York Times asked her if she’s funded by Hamas

Oscar Isaac is open to returning to Star Wars but “not so open to working with Disney” “I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great” (Via GQ)

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

You can take the woman out of the Catholic Church but you cannot take the Catholicism out of the woman because why was my first instinct praying for Mamdani's safety and protection.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Oh thank fuck

Not my usual post but I cant seem to give away the Hala dupes I have on PTCGP. I will trade him for any 2 star I don't have but I'm especially interested in other trainer cards.
