this was predictable, but i don't feel all that good about it. among other things, if she can't fly out of the country she's just gonna wind up driving more.

The Irish government is doing more to house computers than it is to house people, and is somehow making less money from it. #SpeirGorm

Pissing himself in public is not as embarrassing as the time he invited Eddie Hobbs onto his show and then had to talk to Eddie Hobbs in public.

I THINK WE'LL KNOW THE SITE IS FULLY BACK ONLINE WHEN HE FINALLY CAN LOG IN LONG ENOUGH TO DELETE THIS.

This is the single funniest thing I have ever seen Bluesky staff do.

[climbing out of my car which is now embedded in my neighbours' front room, turning to them hands on hips] honestly I'm as mad about this as you are

me and the boys on the USS Abraham Lincoln eating boiled boot leather and sharing stories about the most Realistic Pussy we've ever seen

As easily as you have sworn off Harry Potter pish, you can stop buying games from Microsoft or Microsoft owned studios. This is such a small ask and low bar to clear, there are thousands of other games available at any moment, but the impact can be huge.

The Dept of Culture already changing the goalposts on applying for the Basic Income for the Arts. Left: the guidelines on the BAI website. VAI mentioned at the bottom. Right: Visual Artists Ireland update today. #speirgorm #ireland #basicincomeforthearts

"society as we know it is at risk" has some real "a vote for Bart is a vote for anarchy" energy here.

I do wonder how sick an individual you have to be to watch a genocide happening in real time, and feel comfortable publicly minimising it as simply “a response”.

Bigotry against Travellers is where many Irish racists cut their teeth.

Times columnists never beating the Innsmouth Look allegations

A station once again Pump it up!

#C4News last night reported on the wholesale targeting of ambulances & paramedics in Lebanon by Israel, including the recent 'triple hit', when Israel attacked an ambulance, then attacked paramedics who went to help, and then attacked further paramedics also trying to help.

I dunno about y'all but I'm fairly sure we were sold out. Everybody involved needs to be held accountable for this, and the data centers need to be held not just to the same, but to higher environmental standards. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I'm sure there's 1000 fired employees pleased to see this display and numbers pushed so prominently. Shameful.

just opened my email up (custom domain hosted on gmail) and fucking google drive started spamming me with chat messages? i didnt know gmail had an IM client. Why does it have an IM client? Why has google drive suddenly decided to send chat messages? this is so stupid. I hate google.

As I posted earlier, Ozzy bit the head off the wrong bat.

Microsoft and DigitalEurope, a lobby group whose members include Amazon, Google and Meta, secured a secrecy provision in EU law to block public access to critical information on data centres’ environmental impact, Investigate Europe can reveal.

They are saying there have been a total of ELEVEN warehouse fires in total!?! Mainstream media is not covering it out of fear of copycat arsonists -- but, had no such fear when perp walking Luigi Mangione for a block?? youtu.be/aFw4MwA2hBk?...

Lot of people immediately jumping to the conclusion that bluesky was attacked by elon musk, putin, Jinping, Israel or Iran rather than consider the possibility that Bluesky's devs are simply idiots who suck shit and have done this to themselves before

what’s your favourite bible verse (wrong answers only) ph'nglui mglw'nafh cthulhu r'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn

naming your biology plagiarism machine after the most famous case of biology plagiarism is a very funny bit I must admit

"Our technology will replace you in a society that will let you die if you can not generate capital." "Why is everyone so threatened by the technology we're building?!"

Yes I am victim blaming, and no I don’t care: the entire industry has used fear as the cornerstone of its marketing for years; threatening people’s way of life in the abstract while damaging the economy, stealing peoples work etc. You don’t get to walk that back just because it became real for you.

tl;dr Brave was created by a guy who got kicked out of the for-profit part of Mozilla for being too for-profit and corrupt, so he created a browser that was focused around manipulating advertisements to divert the revenue and then threw several crypto scams on top of it when that failed.

Join the US Navy! We have: -Sad carrot -Dogsick -boiled insole

Toss up between these gems

This is a genuinely mindblowing combination. 1) Deliberately false information, 2) promoted in schools, 3) using public money, 4) in the service of private profits, 5) at the cost of our collapsing ecosystem.

A major problem of depicting fascists in fiction is that characters like Kingpin, Thragg or Homelander are infinitely more interesting and compelling than actual fascists like Donald Trump.

Exactly one year ago today:

Well I’m glad to see someone at blue sky HQ finally took my advice and got rid of this website’s most controversial feature: the posts

We should have listened

I know it's not the most important thing here but Quentin Tarantino didn't even write the fake Bible verse. He stole it from an old Sonny Chiba movie. And something about that last extra layer of bullshit really adds something to this whole thing, to me

Imagine if you will a political action group so reactionary and sadistic that it was set up with the sole aim of forcing people to experience *Roscommon* without a protective cushion of mind altering drugs.

I am very angry that The Future turned out to be so fucking embarrassing

Phone says there are notifications popping up so clearly *some* of youse fuckers can still read this shithole 👀

No posts, no feeds, no notifications, no messages... have these bozos accidentally bashed together a social media platform that isn't ruined by having to encounter other people?

I can post, but cannot see a single post or notification, or even my profile. When (if) those dipshits ever manage to um-fuck the vibe-coded slurry pit they squirted out of a LLM, we'll see who the truest Hard-core Poasters are!

Gods, this website *sucks*

bluesky being so borked by ai that the only things getting through are memes about bluesky being borked by ai is what this website deserves

I must have been like 8 or 9 when I saw Aliens. Spent a long time dreaming about bony jet black tails whipping out from under the bed and grabbing any limb I left poking out from under the blankets. Good times, good times.

OH IF WE JUST HAD ONE MORE DEMOCRAT!!! "What about the one who voted against it tipping the scales?" NO ONE MOOOOORE! "If you get another one two will just vote against good things." NO NO JUST ONE MOOOOORE!

nothing online works for shit anymore. everybody who knows how to work computer is unemployed. we are stuck with these losers shooting up peptides while they vibecode their claude dongle
