I don't really care if the future is short videos. I like words. Words have gotten me this far and I'm gonna stick with 'em for the duration

*Trying to understand sports* Would it be safe to say that Mayo is the Vegeta of GAA?

I wrote about some of the fallacies that reinforces a rape culture where Jeffrey Epstein and his enablers keep getting away with it. They include classic victim-blaming, the idea that adults can't be groomed, and the insistence that sexual abuse is a private affair. spitfirenews.com/p/why-they-k...

Israel's Supreme Court has ruled that the government has failed to provide Palestinian security prisoners with adequate food for basic subsistence, and ordered authorities to improve their nutrition jrnl.ie/6810350

Hang on. A "randy" used to mean an erection?

A must-read on racism and its cruelties from the brilliant Cauvery Madhavan www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Ross Ulbricht created the Silk Road dark web marketplace and was serving a life sentence for drug distribution. After President Trump pardoned him in January, Ulbricht has embarked on a strange and unexpected comeback, embodying the growing bond between Trump and the crypto world.

"Like their larger ancestors, many species of miniature plesiosaur will sift through the sand of their aquarium in search of small food particles and fine grit for ballast. Because of this, their tanks should be equipped with strong filters to help maintain the water quality...

A reminder that @mattfraction.bsky.social & @stevelieberart.bsky.social’s JIMMY OLSEN series gave the world the best representation of the existential crisis faced by anyone who’s ever produced anything for the internet…

Hello all! I've started a blog. This first one is about all the meds I've been on over the years. Please consider giving it a read open.substack.com/pub/autistic...

“At this point it's become impossible for me to maintain a relationship with Reuters given its role in justifying and enabling the systematic assassination of 245 journalists in Gaza. I owe my colleagues in Palestine at least this much, and so much more.” - Valerie Zink

The guy who first diagnosed me with ADHD had the professional ethics of Harold Shipman. Arguably worse: at least when Harry prescribed lethal doses he did it in a timely manner

I'm no longer calling it a flareup it's a comeback tour

Huh my back itches I wonder what happened

Dems should lean into sneering cosmopolitan elitism imo

I am thrilled to announce that I am the the guest (not counting the other guest) for the first episode of this bananers show hosted by the wonderful @demilardner.bsky.social. Watch and see my invention, Creature, serve as my body #SYWTWAPP

I have no physical office and no staff, because being a pay-what-you-can lawyer isn't terribly lucrative. It *is* a lot of driving in my little Scion iQ. If you've heard of me, it might be because I sued the state so trans people could practice law in this state, and we won. 6/

guys it’s really not funny that the fbi agent took a footlong to the chest. stop laughing. it’s NOT FUNNY that an fbi agent in head to toe tactical gear tried to chase the guy who hucked a sandwich straight at his bulletproof vest but couldn’t outrun him

You mess with the blobbo you get the slobbo

When I was 13 our recently single English teacher ended a class on Valentine's Day by saying I'm watching Gnomeo and Juliet tonight if anyone wants to come and someone in the back whispered she's all aloneo

Friends! Do you want a FREE signed copy of my memoir, rated five stars on Amazon?? I got six copies in paperback, and I'm giving away three On Here and three on Threads. They're going to the BIGGEST DONORS to Palestinians or mutual aid before August 31, 2025.

I’m so happy to see Amber Heard and her daughter happy and thriving despite the harassment campaign that tried to destroy her life. She just made her stage debut in Jeremy O. Harris‘ new play “Spirit of the People.” These photos are by Hunter Abrams and Sam Lee for Vogue

Very challenging to do event marketing while suffering from Shingles. Come to Hysteria's show in the Paddy Power Comedy Festival in Whelan's on 25th July www.ticketmaster.ie/paddy-power-...

As a child I had a really severe case of chicken pox. On Sunday, I developed a nasty rash which turned out to be Shingles. My immunosuppressants allowed the virus to resurface. I'd like this to be a learning moment: be like chickenpox and never give up on your dreams.

Please don’t ignore this the next time you’re told “it’s either these guys or Reform” coz this is also what Reform would do and you should rail against it no matter what colour the tie is.

Watching news reports on the Post Office scandal, and seeing nobody be held accountable in a situation where the computer code CAN be forensically examined at every level, it does seem to me that we urgently need legislation regarding liability for when the AI wedged into important systems fails.

I love that former NYT public editor @sulliview.bsky.social is public-editing from the outside. "With this made-up scandal, combined with the pre-election editorial, the Times looks like it’s on a crusade against Mamdani. "And no lofty explanation about the mission can disguise it."

Just sit with this for a moment. Israel perpetrated what is certainly the largest single mass killing of trans people in history. And it's basically a footnote in an article in the NYT covered weeks after it happened.

You're telling me an elf fried this Orc city?!

There is nothing more reviled than the Orc

Paying tribute to our dear Elsa, who is not dead, and is still going to write for us and show up in things, but who deserves a suitably dramatic full-time exit tribute nonetheless It’s what she would have wanted

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Labour are shit because they have no values. They think they can change the fortunes of this terf island by reaching for the nearest sticks they have to hand, giving no thought to any vision or strategy. And they are genuinely surprised when we don't want to be beaten with them!!

Nobody is gonna go to the United States. Actors, athletes, performers - nobody is gonna go there.

Alcatraz housed people who had been convicted of actual crimes. This is more like Alligator Auschwitz

There'll be no gigs in Galway. I'll tell the children

Please help Hammam and his family, they are being starved. www.gofundme.com/f/4r56s-help...

Guys I don't know why I can't back down when I'm dying on stage. Last night I played to a room that was nice but very quiet and even though I knew I hadn't won them over I ended on: I have ADD: A Dead Dad! Why am I like this 😭😭😭

Mamdani must explain his tweet from 1740 BC claiming that Ea-nāṣir had "high quality copper"
