... how many babies has Nestlé killed?

patronise your local bookshop, doubly so when they have pasteis de nata [i've been wanting to finish the Old Man's War series, random happenstance @dubraybooks.bsky.social had it front nd center as i bumbled about]

Aww. They left his memorial looking exactly like his legacy.

ffs, the yank eejits wasted a bagpipe rendition of amazing grace on their deceased bigot but not on any of their dead school children

I know a better world is possible because I‘ve watched a preverbal 1-year-old be captivated by My Neighbour Totoro for the full 90 minutes. Slow pace, slow scene cuts, barely a soundtrack, no addictiveness hacks. Just art.

I like when people are like "oh Rust is too fuckin complicated" when their shitty languages can't even get the basics right

I am here for renaming Coddle, Dick Goulash! 🤣

Ireland urgently needs a referendum to ban Coddle posting.

"Every year, tens of thousands of young people come to work ... on J-1 visas, as part of a program that is supposed to provide an exhilarating taste of the American way. Instead ... many of them have suffered abuse and mistreatment in a poorly regulated program that is ripe for exploitation."

remember when zucky boyo said he wanted more masculine energy in the office? i'm convinced he meant Humbert Humbert's energy specifically

“““ The [37yo] man noticed that posts encouraging him to “get Threads” [...] were being dropped into his Instagram feed featuring embedded posts of uniformed girls as young as 13 with their faces visible and, in most cases, their names. ””” www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Oh! 🙋🏻 I have an idea on how families could celebrate this holiday!

Greek Communists protesting against the Genocide in Palestine on top of the Acropolis. I'd say Athena,as a Goddess of Justice (she created the Jury trial) approves. www.reddit.com/r/socialism/...

Quite spectacular victim blaming from the Taoiseach when asked about the clearly illegal large scale commercial abuse of mobile phone location data. Reflective of institutional cluelessness about privacy throughout the Irish state. www.rte.ie/news/2025/09...

cursed shite: “female” loop fields and “male” hook patches this dude just had to explain the gender of each, and it definitely has the energy of a frenchman explaining why “table” is feminine

the lack of respect for me as a customer in the way they're bumping almost by 50% my sub and it's not as if i have many 4K/atmos titles available to me outside the USA in the first place this “take it or leave it” approach can only be rewarded w/ a “k, i'll leave”

unsub'd disney+, fascist bootlicking mouse cancel'd kimmel for quoting kirk's actual words they were gonna bump 90eur -> 140eur for next year's sub; offered a downgrade to 1080p for 100eur to try retaining me, 0% discount but for new customers they're still offering discounted 4K plans at 90eur

@sentimentbot.bsky.social sup

oh good grief, not the tayto sammich

... why do the English pronounce Derby [the town] as if it was spelt dArby?

“i'm a target like Charlie Kirk”, writes Andrew fucking Tate in an article for the fucking Spectator to which i can only say that “yes, yes you are ;)” and all i'd feel would be an irresistible giggling sense of recoil

This is incredibly concerning. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Far more sympathetic than who? goddammit I need the goose meme

... so, if he had stayed quiet ...

"Broadcaster Colm Ó Mongáin has told a tribunal he overheard an RTÉ manager direct a supervisor not to give shift work to a video editor after she made a formal request for more secure working conditions."

Fun facts: the only "business" that senators of the Roman Republic were permitted to be involved in was land ownership. One of the root causes of the collapse of the Roman Republic was the dispute over who owned the land.

Robert Redford talking about how the Algerian War led him to interrogate his own understanding of the United States of America.

Michael D’s finest moment: the President of Ireland calls for Israel to be excluded from the UN. Why can’t other leaders speak the truth about Gaza like this? www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGsZ...

'& what drove to do these depraved... evil... unthinkable acts? marie kondo stared resolutely at the prosecutor, as the audience of the second nuremberg trials looked on. 'i was just following hoarders'

Really revealing the cultural isolation of the US that posters are on here trying to argue that Bella Ciao is a video game thing lol

Keir Starmer demonstrating his political flexibility by both bending over and puckering up to Trump.

Frontex is a horror show, and very much the most embarrassing thing about the EU project and its institutions

free luigi, he did a-nothing wrong-a!

"You've let me down, you've let the squadron down... and worst of of all you've let yourself down."

I keep getting into conversations with engineers where I talk about how desperately I want my database to support materialized views with incremental updates and too often I get a blank stare in response. so I wrote a new post about why you should care! sophiebits.com/2025/08/22/m...

my unbounded love for a big state which imposes the taxes/fines/regulations that make this technology price-competitive against old-school carbon-emitting tech

a platform can't ever be GDPR compliant if one can go viral on it unintentionally and this script's existence demonstrates that

Sarah Louise Mulligan just said, "I stand with Elon Musk" while making a presidential nomination pitch to DCC.

The Gulf states are asking what benefit alignment with Israel brings them now that Iran is severely weakened and Israel is by far the largest threat to regional stability But is the Trump administration's conclusion that with Iran severely weakened, it no longer needs the Gulf states?

It seems like the Silent Generation — the last generation to have lived through The War and its immediate aftermath — was also the last generation of US conservatives to have any capacity whatsoever for shame. They weren't good people, but they cared intensely about being *seen* that way.

The Kirk shooting was Reich on Reich crime and they’re still working overtime to try and frame it as violence from the left

john quincy adams and his dad, john adams, clearly disprove the lie that people didn't recognize how bad slavery was at the time

Yesterday, a beautiful little Palestinian child flung her arms around me and I wondered about the mentality of the grown men and women who blocked our roads trying to prevent her and her family finding a home in our village. #RefugeesWelcome
