We're at 80.37%. C'mon Ireland. France is at 307%!! Where's your competitive spirit. This petition is the queen of petitions, 👸. I know you've signed a lot already, but don't skip this one by. It's got clout! #JusticeForPalestine #Speirgorm

This is especially infuriating in Germany. It's easy to say "Never Again" when you are not allowed to compare anything else to the Holocaust.

Fine by me (as long as they don't plan on coming back).

More people working part-time sounds like a great thing actually.

It's odd when young people talk about Harry Potter, so innocent and naive not knowing how fucking deranged fans were back in the day (or that the author is a scumbag).

One of those Simpsons lines that made me laugh unreasonably hard as a child.

Ireland! We only need 4,000 more signatures to pass our threshold. C'mon!! @ipsc.bsky.social @kneecapceol.bsky.social 🇵🇸🇮🇪✊

1 million people: this thing happened 1 right wing nutter: no it didn't BBC journalist paid £350k a year: with varying reports, it is impossible to tell what's happened

Beautiful

Dublin's new housing policy is "I thought I told you to FUCK OFF."

Ugh hurry up

It’s so funny to me that the Germans are like “Jewish hate is increasing” and their example is a woman holding a sign that says “Fuck U Germany”- genuinely a country convinced that hating them is the same as hating the people they slaughtered

Obviously *A*CAB but jesus when you have Polizei from several different states at a demonstration, the incredible violent behaviour of the Berlin is even more apparent.

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things

typical ai use case

Aha! Níl mo Ghaeilge an-mhaith ach tuigim an frása sin!

I'll keep saying it: AI is not a matter of "we have a problem, let's create technology to solve it" (you know, how technology usually works). It's "we have created this technology, now we need to come up with ways to use it". So we get pointless crap like AI tour guides and AI "influencers".

Saw a video of the puppy-bear-bunny-yoda-seal audio and suddenly remember how I'd planned to do that with Jethro when I got home for Christmas. Guess now that makes me sad.

Frog: If I jump out of the pot now then the boiling water wins.

This will be framed as restricting the image tool in response to the outrage. Blatantly obvious fact is, he figured he can make money out of this service.

The world's richest man runs a subscription-based automated service that removes clothing from photographs of children.

Sometimes I think I'm not much of a nerd. Other times I stay up watching Star Trek until the moment it gets taken off Netlfix.

Your honour, my client has simply gotten so good at stabbing people that murder laws do not apply.

The generation that has spent years telling us that the internet is poison and social media is the new heroin are now scrambling to defend their use of X. This is one of the worst things they warned us about and it has had the opposite effect. They never cared about young people.

To be clear, I absolutely no longer use the other place. But would still like to find more of these people.

I stopped using the former bird website long ago but didn't deactivate my account. Not sure what to do now. On one hand I want to deactivate it. On the other, the thought of logging into the site makes me wanna throw up.

The problem with being employed is that you have to work. The problem with being unemployed is that you're broke and have to look for jobs. The wonderful thing about being freelance is both of those things at the same time.

My flatmate accidentally fucked up my slinky (then made it worse by attempting to fix it) so I've displayed it as a piece of modern art dedicated to queer mental illness.

so many people watching the US do crazy things and being like "uh oh what if [Russia/China] do these things now?? now that would be actually scary"

Just remembering in the beginning of 2020 when we thought that the US had started World War 3 and that it would be the defining event of the year. That was weird.

Also they don't include people like me, living in a box room at a friend's house as a temporary measure (for almost 2 years now), my family split up due to the lack of houses. I'm still hoping to find somewhere so I can get my kids back.

Year 3 in Germany and still baffled by this

Still amazes me that people say "you don't get to be racist and Irish" after we had the big "are you a racist?" referendum and nearly 80% of voters said yeah actually they were

Trans people exist. In every culture and every society on the planet, and have done throughout recorded history. They are a natural part of the human condition and always will be because (spoiler alert!) they are born every day. They aren't an ideology, they are people. Hate is an ideology though!

Just go up to a group of women, ask them for a painkiller then watch them discuss the right one like Grandpa Simpson and Grandma Bouvier.

Alternative version of A Christmas Carol where instead of Yes and No they all play Monopoly and Scrooge's journey takes a very different turn.

Scrooge: Oh I must repay Bob Cratchit and express my gratitude to my wonderful employee! ...wait I wanna fuck with him one last time real quick.

My heart can't take watching it this year. But quick appreciation for this line.

Few things make me as angry as 'National Slowdown Day' People are out there driving like absolute pricks, it is getting so much worse, and the best we have come up with is 'please stop' As if a person with that level of selfishness is going to hear about 'Slowdown' day and think it applies to them

From the family that brought you "dog gets put to sleep on son's birthday" comes the 2025 sequel "dog dies the day everyone comes home for christmas"

About to use BlusSky for long form because this story gave me a rage that cannot be contained by 240 characters. Spoiler: The My Voice My Choice initiative does NOT make abortion available in all EU countries.

Guy at the airport counter wished me a happy christmas so I said "You too" but right before I said it he quickly added "Have a good flight" so now I look like an idiot.

I was JUST talking about this yesterday
