Energetic night in Ireland

Oh dear :P

This is just such a good line

In Dublin, on Fenian Street, there's a factory that makes child sex abuse material. You can pay it money, as a subscription, and that's one of the services it offers. This doesn't happen by mistake or because you've tricked or hacked the system. It’s a feature. www.thegist.ie/the-gist-the...

Can't doomscroll if you're knitting

thing is, it will never not make me laugh to see a small critter getting spun. never gets old.

"Big! Strong! Wow! Tada-O!"

Happy New Year!

This poem in the Paris Review really spoke to me on this very "winter is forever" kind of day

Well @maressa.bsky.social sent me the best version of the John Hamm meme

Mince pies should be renamed. Duplicitous little bastard fruit mashes that they are.

Happy Hogswatch to all who celebrate. Ho! Ho! Ho!

Merry Christmas! Anyone in want of a hug, let me know.

Of all of the autism gastric things I could have gotten in the grand dice roll of life.... ...why is it lettuce that hurts me? (and anyone downwind of me after lettuce. Sorry @maressa.bsky.social )

How???? (I hope she sticks with it and enjoys knitting) ((But really... how in the hell...))

I really should set aside some time in the next year and properly ... I won't say reconnect because that's not accurate, but //connect// with what my history was and what it might all have been. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUxG...

My boys got a song! #Necron www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib25...

This is so accurate it causes me mild physical pain.

33. All the great stories are about loneliness. Because that's the most relatable thing. 34. Only a very small number of friendships are evergreen. But deciduous friendships can still be beautiful, important, and unforgettable. A chestnut tree isn't a broken pine tree; it's just a different thing.

Am I the only one who thinks this photo of Rian looks like Jared Harris and Elijah Wood got Tuvixed?

He said "Amen" straight into the drop Lmao Pope Leo threw a rave for an archbishop's 75th birthday this is kind of incredible

It's Toxic, played on the souls of the damned being tormented in Hell.

I can’t have it in my garden? But the Bad Sprinkler is so pretty

Can someone check the grin level on @edzitron.com ? It's the Doomsday Clock of smirk

Always loved Hallucigenia. I remember pouring over Stephen Goulds essays

Maybe it's my Autism Brain or whatever, but I don't really get why anyone who had access to this stuff wouldn't have splashed these horrific revelations literally everywhere the second you knew about them. Take these fuckers down.

Judge John Aylmer said this was “a very unusual offence.” Amazing www.donegaldaily.com/2025/11/07/m...

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

I was never good at painting my figs but damn if I don't love looking at other peoples talent, skill and hard work with them.

Rather good advice I will never listen to.

What she said. Holy shit indeed.

Buy a couple of anime studios and make their first projects under me not big prestige things but all the season 2s of wonderful trash that I haven't gotten. This might also inadvertently keep @mothersbasement.bsky.social busy for the rest of his life. Gimme the money wizard, need more monmusume.

On Lt Columbo Day never let us forget the episode where Columbo explains to a fitness guru how Mrs Columbo is thick, that he likes her thick, and how he will do anything within his power to keep her thick

RIP Jane Goodall, by all accounts a wonderful woman who loved this Far Side cartoon

Here is some non-satire for you: Trans rights forever.

@maressa.bsky.social grew an emoji🎃

I wrote this in January, about the issues we face when responsibility for covering the irony-poisoned and extremely-online trolls of the far right, falls to journalists who can't rotate a PDF. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

Controversial opinion, but I think trans people should feel safe here on bluesky, and nazis shouldn't.

So I discovered the Threadnought back on twitter and it opened a new world of people to follow. Lawsky is fun to watch especially from an autistic angle. Here is an entire profession that has clearly defined things in their way and this meaning is understood by their fellows (usually). Its sort of

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

Glad to see this from RTÉ.

Do I buy a knitting pattern that is similar to what I want to make so I can do the math and work out /maybe/ how to adapt it to the bulky yarn I want to use.... ...or do I just yolo eyeball this thing?

An old comic about the end of summer

This long read in The Verge does a remarkable job of describing how Wikipedia's editing community works, the project's strengths and weaknesses, and the threats it faces. www.theverge.com/cs/features/...
