It's less horrifying than the Christmas Tree costume last year at least #ToyShow #LateLateToyShow

Fair warning. I'm going to be Toy Show posting tonight

This won't be limited to just autism. They're building the panopticon to track anyone with any "undesirable" illness. This is eugenics, full stop.

George Lucas: Bad guys make space laser so big it blow up planet. Tony Gilroy: Imagine the billions of people ground up in the gears of totalitarianism to make that big space laser, the sheer scale of repression, both intimate and unfathomably vast in its reach ...

jk rowling funded a case going before the supreme court that argues it should be legal to discriminate against and persecute trans ppl. yet still we have to listen to ‘centrists’ claiming she isn’t bigoted she just has ‘a difference of opinion’. no trans ppl have a voice in these proceedings.

Come check out my economic policy Wallop Myself in the Dick and Balls Nonstop Over and Over Again. If you notice the walloping, I will triple the walloping of my dick and balls. At the end my dick and balls will feel good somehow. How does this work? I will not elaborate.

This cannot be reformed.

So fun fact - people on the left *are* working with young men. Like I got a whole ass partner who spends all his time doing that. People just sorta ignore that because it doesn't make for good headlines, and also people like saying we need to bring back the subjugation of women.

NEW: updated long-run gap in voting between young men and women in Germany: Gender divide continues to widen, but contrary to what is often assumed, young men continue to vote roughly in line with the overall population, while young women have swung sharply left. www.ft.com/content/29fd...

Earlier this month, Sheinbaum shared a letter addressed to Google with reporters, arguing that the U.S. had no authority to unilaterally rename the Gulf.

Do you know why people who find out they are autistic do this? It’s a request for kindness and understanding before doing or saying something which will be perceived as odd. It’s also a way to understand ourselves, having just received a new word to describe how we’ve been our entire lives

Once a year, Americans subject a groundhog named Phil to a Bloodborne cutscene and force him to predict the weather.

Quick reminder that if you see a headline from a source you’ve never heard of that isn’t being reported by anyone else, you really should do some due diligence before spreading it around as fact. There’s enough misinformation floating around already; no need to add more.

I am still waiting to hear from the Resolve AB lab at @ucalgary.bsky.social as I try to claw for help and resources in my community, for other women. I managed to survive. It was also unbearable, in many ways. The women and children in my area deserve more than platitudes and dismissal.

Absolutely batshit you can watch on live TV a rotting whale eating, bear corpse vandalizing, brainworm eaten, anti-science sex pest who drove an ex wife to suicide & looks exactly like corrupted Leland Palmer from Twin Peaks & sounds like Megatron auditioning to be head of America’s healthcare.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

Ireland’s governing coalition got off to a rattled start today as its new member, a loose-cannon group of rural independents, insisted on holding positions in both the government and the opposition.

Hey, so when did neurotypicals start thinking autism = high chance of doing a Nazi salute on international broadcasts? When did that trait get added to the DSM 5? I'm going to make this easy. Do this salute, or make apologies for someone who does, near me and I am going to punch you in the throat.

the united states approval of israels genocide in palestine is going to be a long shameful mark in americas history

Thanks to all for your kind remembrances on this awful day. Words will come later. Only feelings at the moment. Mourn and remember him but don’t forget to celebrate too. We won’t see his like again. The man from another place has gone home. #DavidLynch #TwinPeaks

The economy is in turmoil but at least my financial future is secure thanks to my collection of 10,000 images of tennis balls. Now to take a big sip of coffee and open Bluesky

"bypassing traditional milestones" is a funny way of saying that most of us can't afford to buy a house with multiple jobs, won't have children because we can't afford them, most of our degrees are useless, and we are the poorest generation among all current living generations

The number of people in hospitals with flu has increased rapidly, with a total of 869 cases admitted as of this morning, the HSE has said.

Has anyone caught this cold that's been going around? It's some yoke to try and shake.

Nice story this. 8 kids from Gaza with complex medical needs arrived in Ireland last night for treatment. A total of 30 are expected to arrive for medical care in Ireland on the scheme organised by the Depts of Health and Foreign Affairs and the Irish Red Cross www.instagram.com/p/DDzL-BnMIX...

Universities aren't supposed to make money.

In 2022 I wrote a piece on Ireland’s military neutrality and the eternally frustrated media and political voices who wish it were not so. Every so often they announce, sans evidence, that the public have changed their mind and this assertion rolls around unchallenged until killed by the next poll.

"I remember how much the 'Dailygraph' and 'The Whitby Gazette', of which I had made cuttings, had helped us to understand the terrible events at Whitby when Count Dracula landed, so I shall look through the evening papers since then, and perhaps I shall get some new light." -Mina's journal

a cloak believed to belong to the shooter transformed into a dozen beautiful white doves and flew away, Authorities said,

The fact that Disney bought Star Wars and bought the Muppets and haven’t done a Muppets Star Wars is a crime.

Johnny Sexton there with a sombre and much needed reminder that we will all die one day.

Brian Óg would, if you asked him, sell you a van. He might not have one himself but he'd know a fella. #LateLateToyShow

Find someone to look at you like Dory looks at Jazzy #LateLateToyShow

The practice of dry stone wall construction in Ireland has been added to UNESCO's list of protected cultural heritages around the world

Tonight's Toy Show is going to be the real test of Bluesky's potential. The best part of watching the last few years was the craic on Twitter following it along. Let's see how this place measures up #ToyShow

🚨🚨🚨 Enormous news: the Constitutional Court of Romania has unanimously decided to cancel the presidential elections, G4 Media reports. The electoral process for the election of the Romanian president has to be re-run in its entirety, with the government setting a new date.

The meanings of the word for a wren, from eight different languages... 8. Little walnut (Bulgarian) 7. Little bird in the ditch (Japanese) 6. Thumbling (Finnish) 5. Fence-skedaddler (Danish) 4. Fence-master (Hebrew) 3. Druid bird (Irish) 2. Mouse-brother (Faroese) 1. Little king of winter (Dutch)

this only suggests to me that everyone needs to keep being meaner to those in power. the wealthy elite need to be scared

Bringing this thread over from Twitter so that I can continue to add to it here: in addition to #Flansmas, one of my other seasonal passions is to listen almost exclusively to Christmas music in December, and then catalog my thoughts about it as A Jew™️ who did not grow up with these songs 🎄🎅🦌☃️🎶

Rush Limbaugh and Henry Kissinger are still in Hell.

Exit poll showing that Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil’s transfers to each other have fully consolidated. No longer any argument to be made that there is a meaningful difference between the two.
