And editing like Xena:Warrior Princess. If this combo sounds good to you, and you need to fill your cup so you can pour it over some assholes heads, I recommend.

But today Riot and I are enjoying this show Sandokan: The Pirate Prince. It’s a weird combo—Think Black Sails but much less queer, mixed with a tolerable dose of One Piece humor, mixed with Spartacus the TV show. It is re: enslaved people rising up in South East Asia www.imdb.com/title/tt1392...

OK #SpeirGorm this is a big one. The public consultation for "Grow College Green" is open from now until March 11. Have your say! This will radically reshape the heart of Dublin City and this is our once-in-a-generation chance to make it great for everyone! engage.dublincity.ie/en-IE/projec...

By lifting the Dublin Airport passenger cap, delaying funding for public transport that has planning permission and opening the door to commercial LNG, Minister @darraghobrientd.bsky.social's message to his constituents seems to be: prepare for much more climate chaos. www.rte.ie/news/2026/02...

27 EU leaders. In a castle. Deciding which protections to cut for polluter profit 😡 180,000+ people already said: #HandsOffNature ✊ Join us in telling EU leaders that we will not sacrifice our future for corporate profits 👉 www.environmentalpillar.ie/hands-off-na...

This is genuinely insane, I clicked to see the years expecting the low part to be 70s or maybe 90s but its 2015!!!!! The entire anti trans panic is a decade old

This seems like a good place to share that Ireland’s meteorological service is asking the public (from any country) to help with climate change research by “rescuing” millions of historic weather observations currently held in handwritten paper records (1864 to 1951) ☔️ www.met.ie/met-eireann-...

Ill be clear about why I am so angry and critical about it: Im seeing a good portion of my students who have imbibed the notion that they dont have to read, think or write for themselves because ChatGPT/CoPilot will do their thinking for them, and its terrifying. It should scare all of us.

no, it simply isnt. People are talking about capital using gAI as an excuse to conduct mass lay-offs, about students losing learning because theyre being lied to about gAI in education, about the mass theft of the work of artists and authors to train LLMs, about CSAM and nonconsensual sexual images.

so finally, here it is, as commissioned by @jessicannatar.bsky.social through the lil fundraiser some tolkien folks did last year for the palestine children relief fund. the gorgeous artwork was done by @galadrielswife.bsky.social who you should also follow on instagram @artsysibel 1/2

How can there be so much bad news all the time everywhere can this ride just stop

When Musk said the "cumulative sum of human knowledge has been exhausted" for training AI, what he was really saying is that he would not pay for digitisation, and had reached the limits of useful data he could scrape for free. The GenAI house is built on sand.

A private jet touched down in Shannon Airport. Onboard were Palestinian deportees from the US, their wrists and ankles shackled. It’s not that the Irish state doesn’t want to involve itself with this depravity – it doesn’t want to acknowledge it. www.ontheditch.com/comment-the-...

What women on the left already knew before the files came out is that men can imagine a world of class consciousness (Chomsky), a universe more expansive than ever before known (Hawking), a world where you can live forever (Attia) but not a world where women are fully human.

I don't believe for a second that they were in the dark about Epstein's abuse. There are emails where Noam is trying to help Epstein rehabilitate his image, ffs! You don't build up a reputation for yourself as a brilliant intellect and then miss the most overt sex trafficking ring in modern history

Sharing this in light of a load of landlord TDs voting for new measures which they openly admit will drive rents even higher

Landlords, who could not even be bothered to stay awake for the vote, passed a bill last night designed to make themselves wealthier. We need to build a movement against this right wing government, made up of landlords who rule in the interests of uber-wealthy corporate landlords and vulture funds

This is why you need to be reading books and writing your own emails, by the way. When you outsource your thinking abilities, you risk turning your brain into soup. Heavy dependence on AI has already been linked with severe cognitive decline. What you don’t use, you will lose.

"humanity is made distinct, mostly, by its love of making little guys."

"Why can't we have a calm discussion about AI?" Cuz the data centers are being built carelessly and at speed, polluting poor neighborhoods, cuz it's drinking my fucking aquifer, and cuz all my art and writing have been plagisrized while the worst assholes crow about my impending obsolescense...

‘We don’t have a plan’ Invasive species are an important pressure on biodiversity but confusion reigns about what qualifies as 'invasive' and whose job it it is to take action www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

You couldn't make it up. Last night a landlord government rammed through a bill literally designed to makes rents skyrocket. Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, and Healy-Rae / Lowry independents are pushing people even deeper into poverty, egged on by the landlord lobby Independent Ireland.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

Once again: people are angry for very good reason, and this brand of post is perhaps one of the most tedious and bewildering. Practically every social media platform is rabidly pro-‘AI’ so are govts, academia, companies. This one small space being critical of AI is okay, I think.

Again I find myself angered by the fact that people seem to believe that all art is supposed to make you happy. Art isn’t meant to make you happy. It’s not for your happiness. It’s for your sadness, your anger, your fear, and yes, sometimes, a lot of the time, for your joy. But not always.

I am starting a studio! We are small and scrappy and have no money. Why am I doing this? Because the only ones who can protect art are the ones who value it. Disney using AI? Yuck. Netflix buying WB? Also yuck. In 10 years what is even going to be left.

My little sister Shahd and I have nothing to eat 💔 Our hunger hurts so much, and every passing moment makes us weaker. We urgently need just $150 to buy food and water… every dollar can save us from this harsh hunger 🙏 Verified mommunism chuffed.org/project/mahm...

The risks of SARS-CoV-2 and other airborne pathogens can be severe, but the media continues to stigmatize Olympians taking precautions as "worried" and "extreme". We know #LongCOVID can affect anyone, even elite athletes. In the @thesicktimes.org today 😷🦠 thesicktimes.org/2026/02/10/w...

Why COVID-19 is “a vascular disease masquerading as a respiratory one” “The virus enters through the airways but exerts its systemic effects through the vasculature, the common denominator in the lungs, heart, kidneys, and brain,” Benest tells The BMJ. Source: www.bmj.com/content/392/...

"We don't want our coastlines to be scraped clean of seaweed just so massive corporations can make profits.!" #Ireland #SpéirGhorm

This happens when deals are opaque, no accountability nor care of natural resources 😡 “Údaras na Gaeltachta said it cannot publish any details of the contract, even though the ten years of a confidentiality agreement have expired.” Who?Why?WTF? #spéirghorm #IrishPol afloat.ie/port-news/fi...

More people should listen to @tressiemcphd.bsky.social When people say AI is inevitable, let them know the future isn’t settled.

Romania: "...has decoupled economic growth from pollution faster than anywhere else in Europe, & perhaps even the world. Its net greenhouse gas emissions...fell by 88% between 1990 & 2023.... Emissions have plunged by 75%." www.theguardian.com/environment/... #spéirghorm #ClimateChange

Hopefully the rest of Europe will follow suit.
