Unbelievable to have a post blow up on Bluesky. Like a taste of the old country.

What did Obama mean by this?

"When we look at the world through the lens of class rather than nations, it becomes far more clear." @curtisdaly.bsky.social explains why Trump invited Putin to his Gaza 'board of peace'. It's about class solidarity with the oligarchs.

Someone Who Is Absolutely No Threat To Anyone And Not Worth Murdering; “I’m being kept in. Someone is keeping me here. I’m still here for a reason.” #TheTraitorsUK

Harriet is going to banished for being impolite, making it very clear that this is the British version of The Traitors. #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUK

this all has to be bullshit, right #thetraitorsuk

It’s hard not to think that some of the Traitors is set up when you have some wannabe bafta nominees like Matt, Harriet & Jessie giving some of the least convincing performances of the decade

You pay interest on tax unpaid but do not receive interest on tax returned. Curious that. I would imagine it’s probably because neoliberal governments are a thinly-disguised scam to turn taxes into holiday homes.

In primary school, I got taken outside in class because I said the big bang created the universe & another student started crying because it shook his faith in God. We were 5 at the time.

Bizarre bit of Irish music trivia is Joe Dolan auctioned off his hipbone for €650 and gave the proceeds to an autism charity.

I was one of the first 10 people to sign up for Twitter in Ireland. I left over a year ago. It was bad enough then - it’s black and white unacceptable now. There’s no good reason to be on it and, now, no good reason why it’s not being prosecuted.

Again, the vaulted American Century lasted exactly one generation and none of the inheritors of it felt bothered to continue it if it required any work or not having something they wanted

Gonna be honest, if I put myself up as most liked and no one agreed with me, I would never been seen in public again #traitorsuk

Trying to die on this hill but Kate Bush and God are being VERY inconsiderate in my final moments

Has there been a bigger YouTube dropoff quite like Babish

oh my god i’m going to die

I lov chrismis

I’m just now receiving word that the Grinch was caught and comprised to a permanent end by our heroes in seal team 6

Some of you have lost the true meaning of Christmas: Destroying your closest friends and family at trivia games.

Merry Christmas! This year I see a lot of posts of Irish folks on the beach in Australia surrounded by what seems to be some of the worst, drunkest and most 22 years old people in the world

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

I dunno if I’ve gotten a useful Facebook notification in years

Can’t believe @carlkinsella.bsky.social found the time to write Mushoku Tensei too

I talk to so many people who say they don't want to be there but "feel they have to". You don't if you don't want to. It's dead. Move on. I left in 2023 and haven't regretted it for a second...

My brain is so internet-rotted that I saw a couple arguing outside & started to google what they were arguing about.

David Quinn was on radio arguing that fascists need to be taken more seriously because 20% said they’d vote for Maria Steen. Fash need their bullshit views represented so they can also lose enormously on yet another platform apparently

You can read the full transcript of the Bloody Sunday Inquiry for the two days for which Soldier F was questioned with these two links: webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/201010... webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/201010...

No justice. Utterly disgusted for the Bloody Sunday families. An obscene decision and a dark day.

My phone apparently has an onboard AI. This seems to mean that every time it can’t understand my accent it says “Do you want to ask ChatGPT?”

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Free speech, eh.

The path we are on is: -Stop hotel usage -Rely on private rental sector -Cover this as an outrage to build support for ending any asylum capacity -ECHR blocks this path -Cover this as an outrage to build support for dismantling human rights pretections -Spend even more money on Rwanda Camps 2.0

They are given "free hotel rooms" (under strict curfews/allowances) because there is nowhere else to accommodate them. There is nowhere else to accommodate them because successive British governments have prioritised private landlords and investment funds over the welfare of the population.

every “ancient tradition” was invented between 1848-1870 and every “modern perversion” is so ancient as to predate writing

Too depressed to even split my banana. Just going to put ice cream and toppings on it whole

I don’t qualify for a job that my degree very specifically was setting me up for

What if there were already some sort of contest where people were able to choose between them, I wonder how that would go

I know two people I’ve fallen out of touch with have broken up but I’m not close enough with either of them anymore to ask. Agonising.

ask your doctor if laying in bed going oughhhhh is right for you

This really feels like a defining post of our time

Gotta stop saying “that’s stupid” when I hear about a new trend and start saying “how can i make more money than god from this”

Weird world. The people who run media, culture and entertainment industries believe the ideal company is one where no media, culture or entertainment is produced but can still report the highest profits in the company’s history every week

There’s lots of voiceover work available; 😄 It’s to train AI; 😟

Late in labubu discourse. My understanding is they are funko pops for the most boring person you’ve ever met

Can’t wait until autumn so i can disguise the Michelin-man-esque physique I’ve been developing
