Betrayed NoMowMay by MowingInMay. I have horrible fast growing greasy grass and it can’t be left alone. I hate my lawn.

Not sorry in the least.

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

Y'know how British queen's get to dub people "Sir" and you've gotta call them that from now on? The same actually applies in Ireland when our queen dubs someone "That cunt". We're required to acknowledge the title forever now. #spéirgorm

Oy! Govs of UK and Ireland! You're SHIT! Stop being shit! www.irishtimes.com/world/europe...

The flotilla wasn't going to Israel, it was going to Gaza when they were kidnapped in international waters and then taken to Israel. They're being released....not deported.

Information security in cyberpunk looks so cool and then you get to do it irl and 90% of your effort is keeping an ancient man in accounts payable from wiring $300k to a criminal running a phishing campaign.

I regret that leaving Monkey Cage was necessary, but I will never regret leaving people who considered siding with hatred was more important than siding with our many non binary and trans listeners - each day I see the further empowerment of hate , the more I realise there was no other option

If this is what Israel is doing to white Westerners on camera: What the hell do you think they're doing to Palestinians off camera?

Spydere Man, Spydere Man Doth al things a spydere kan Sondry webbes he kan weaven Thieves lyke flyes he kan cacchen Lo! anon cometh Spydere Man

He could do one thing today and another thing tomorrow without being defined by such activities. Thus far, only AI has lived up to this dream, as it's employed to make art and bomb countries without ever being an artist or a pilot.

Marx dreamed of a world where you wouldn't be pigeonholed by your job. As he put it, a man could hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, and critique ideas at dinner without ever being a hunter, fisherman, or critic.

Breaking news: all very normal

To Mr Feinnes and Mr Vaugh-Williams. While I appreciate only one you will read this, I think it’s important to tell you you’ve been saying your first name wrong.

Queen Medb of Connacht, famed for her role in the Táin Bó Cúailnge and flanked by bulls Finnbhennach and Donn Cúailnge - formidable warrior queen, shrewd leader, seductive beauty, and one of Ireland's most powerful, strong-willed, and legendary women 🐂 Prints: www.ciaraioch.com/artprints/p/...

I miss drunken Eurovision and Twitter. That was awesome.

Here at IRTS we wish all candidates sitting the HAREC license exam today best of luck, hope to make QSOs with you on the air soon! 🎓📻 #hamradio #amateurradio

I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter the dire threat of a Reform UK government elected on a minority of the vote

“Blue Labour” has comprehensively failed, because even if if you are willing to be exceptionally cruel to immigrants (and some people seem worryingly happy to), you can never outflank the actual fascists, while you’ll lose voters who see immigrants as people.

That…is a good name for a garden service company.

We’ve been told our content needs to be more informative so here you go

Sharing, without comment, British newspapers’ depictions of the only Jewish person currently leading a UK political party . Times. Mail. Telegraph. Sun.

I didn't know what this was from until I just watched the movie.

This could be business casual if we even gave a shit

We must stand in solidarity with Jews being attacked by antisemitic criminals and terrorists: no ifs or buts. We must stand in solidarity with Palestinians being murdered by the Israeli government: no ifs or buts. These are not contradictory positions. They are consistent ones. 🧵1/5

The many lives of Chris Foss’s triangular shaped spaceship. First published in 1973 on the cover of ‘Moonbeast’ followed by a reworking of it in 1978 for ‘The Bloodstar Conspiracy’

Viking-age gaming board (replica), from Ballinderry, Ireland. For the Viking war game ‘Hnefatafl’, the object of which is to drive the King piece into one of the corners. This replica at Roskilde Viking Ship Museum, Denmark. Original at National Museum of Ireland in Dublin. 📷 by me #Archaeology

We mustn't fixate only on what's been lost but imagine on what we can regain... IF we choose to work at it! It's time to get busy and @rewildingbritain.org.uk and the world!

Somehow I don’t think they mean Palantir or Tesla

🌼 It’s May Day! 🌼 May 1st marks the start of summer in Irish tradition, celebrated as Lá Bealtaine — a festival of renewal and light. This image (c.1890–1910) shows children gathered around a Maypole, symbolising growth and new beginnings: https://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000592243

My beloved old radios, transmitters and amps are struggling. I really need an oscilloscope and signal generator to assist with the struggle. Roll on birthday.

The way the outfits here create flashes of blue and white is very mesmerizing.

For god sake let the man speak. Americans. 🤦‍♂️

Today is Ella Fitzgerald's birthday! People usually know her for being one of the premier voices in jazz. Some people may know that she was arrested for singing to segregated audiences. What many don't know is she also sued Pan-Am airline for discrimination in 1957 to prove a point and won.

Important update:

We forgot to take the wreath down from our front porch and a fat robin made a nest on it. So I guess we don’t use our front porch now?

How can US talks with Iran be ‘collapsing’ every couple of days? Godzilla engages in more productive conversations than this lot.

They died doing what the CIA loves, illegal covert very sloppy drug operations in the global south

So, the FCC, rather than making this company pay and license satellites on assigned frequencies, they'll just use the 70cm (430MHz) amateur radio band for free. Pity if those satellites get jammed by hams ... using their internationally assigned frequencies. Seppos. amsat-uk.org/2026/04/22/a...

I just got a bit emotional over my morning coffee realising how influential Stephen Spielberg has been over my life. I’m in my 50s. #film

America to 𝚊̶𝚕̶𝚕̶𝚒̶𝚎̶𝚜̶ vassal states, 2026:

Feck off USA

Yeah, the EU is weirdly cautious about computers being left alone to drive cars on its roads.

Boy, isn't THAT the truth... #HamRadio #AmateurRadio

Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics. The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.
