When you next hear a billionaire screaming at you that trans people are a “danger to women and girls”, just remember who’s in the Epstein files. Trans people: zero. Billionaires: all of them.

I start my IBM internship on Tuesday. I tried the cycle route today to see if I can handle it. I managed the round trip and am a little wrecked. But I won't be doing the round trip in one go at work. I'll have eight hours to recover. This is also 30 minutes faster than the bus.

I really really pray we just adopt the EU Digital Identity Wallet. Zero Knowledge Proofs are safe. You generate a single use identification link that answers a limited question about you like "yes, this person is over 18" or "yes they have this much in their bank account".

🧵 "Why I Can’t Just Meet You for Dinner: The Reality of Post-Exertional Malaise" substack.com/home/post/p-... Thoughtful blog post which tries to explain postexertional malaise & how those who suffer from it need to be very careful with which activities they take on #LongCovid #PwME #MEcfs 1/

Last year, we made the decision to step away from X. The Royal Irish Academy is committed to creating, convening, and sharing knowledge for the public good and as an organisation we value Independence; Integrity; Curiosity; Openness and Rigour. In our view, X no longer aligns with these values

I just watched the Pendragon Cycle. It was.... bad. Very bad. It tries to establish "England will be the kingdom that god promised" narrative and.... honestly as an Irish person that makes me really uncomfortable.

A polite, but firmly worded, comment to everyone in the UK saying "this could be us" when talking about the US. This is the UK. You granted immunity to the army who killed republicans. Your nation tortured republicans. The US and the UK are separated by distance, not policy.

I have come to think that, if a position can be written using 'in my opinion' or 'from my perspective' or 'I think' instead of "literally", it should be written using one of those.

It deserved significantly more

Folks, I present to you @paramountmovies.com support.

Open up this picture fully. Then look at the surface of Mars. Then look up to the top right. Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky. Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos. That's Earth.

The most salient point in Irish politics for the year ahead. If SF constantly have to be dragged back to the left, then they cannot be considered left any more.

So AES recycling changed their customer portal Now, instead of my strong password protecting my personal information I have a four digit pin that I don't seem to be able to change.

I like JKR the same way I like Emphysema.

Pharmacists have said nobody entering a pharmacy should expect to be questioned on whether they are transgender. One pharmacist said the Minister for Health has “a gross misinterpretation of the role of a pharmacist" amid confusion over eligibility. www.thejournal.ie/free-hrt-sch...

Reading strength of the few, James Islington; there’s Irish in it. Which is always nice to read.

Bring back cancel culture. I liked Liam Neeson but I am done with super rich public figures promoting anti-vaxx bullshit that will have a impact on the lives of so many.

@rahaeli.bsky.social have you seen this bullshit? They want to tie social media accounts with public services number which is our irs number. @tupped.bsky.social has written about this a fair bit. www.iccl.ie/press-releas...

As much as I would like to see more #babylon5 I don't trust Netflix with it. They don't have the vision for it.

The fact that Netflix could afford to buy warner brothers means they could've afforded to let us share passwords.

Guy's life is upturned by a collision. His wife is brain damaged and needs long term care and treatment, his 1 year old son was in the car. He's being stonewalled by the authorities and the town council. He is righteously angry and deserves what support you can give.

@profanity.accountant You fucking shit.

"The judgment of God sent the calamity to teach the Irish a lesson. That calamity must not be too much mitigated. The greater evil with which we have to contend is not the physical evil of the famine, but the moral evil of the selfish, perverse and turbulent character of the Irish people."

I'm just gonna say it: you wouldn't need to ban the kids if you just made the platforms responsible for moderation in the first fucking place. Good luck papering over that chasm and calling it protection. ✌🏻

"All lesbians are TERFs" is propaganda designed to divide the strongest allies in the spectrum of queer identities - don't fall for it. A day without lesbians is like a day without sunshine 🌞 (IYKYK)

I think we should be learning a lot more than just Arabic Numerals. Also that we should be learning the history of Arabic, Indian and Chinese Mathematics.

I was in a stable job, where I wanted to be and depression took hold of me. I stopped eating properly, sleeping, grooming, going to work. It got grim. Therapy saved my life.

@chiggyvr.bsky.social So I'm watching Welcome to Derry. It's worse than I had imagined. Like, I have no problem with it in theory (except the military stuff, that's just daft). But I was hoping it was, at least, well crafted from a technical perspective. But so far it's cheap jump scares.
