See, behaviour like this is why no in history has ever put a guy named "Markwayne" in charge of anything.

Below is the Letter to Minister for Further and Higher Education James Lawless, to express deep concern about the priorities within Taighde Éireann-Research Ireland’s recently published 2026-2030 strategy Please consider signing and sharing this letter openletter.earth/concern-abou... #spéirghorm

Do people like this bring notebooks to the movie theater? And can recount the actual plot afterward?

Sure, you can criticize, but a programme like this *would* have greatly simplified the plot of Back to the Future.

I have not published much, but one article I wrote was in the database these chatbots are based on, so some of that intelligence is mine. I resent the idea I should pay to have it sold back to me.

"Why has the US right since the 1970s been more effective than the left at grassroots community organizing? Part of the answer is that our side has no events with bouncy castles." read theory damn it www.laborpolitics.com/p/bouncy-cas...

Look at this amazing view I walked to! And look at the narrow footpath on a fast road I had to walk down to get here! (it could be such a nice place, 10 minutes after this I was in the village getting lunch.) #WarOnCars

Pick a Bond villain from the photos you already have on your phone/device.

Are you having trouble feeding your personal pod of humpback whales? Krill issue

www.rte.ie/news/ireland... That first sentence is terrible. He did not die because of shoplifting, he died because of the way he was treated by the security guards. This should not be framed around his actions.

Listening to the latest @ifbookspod.bsky.social, "Think and Grow Rich". I am now in love with the phrase "It may help to know" as a way to lead into a lie, because you did not technically say it was true, just helpful.

It's wrong to get delivery, but also wrong to waste time and resources cooking. The only ethnically perfect meal is a can of beans eaten over the sink. As long as you recycle the can.

Hey, is it normal to chug a Redbull and then immediately fall asleep for an hour? For context, I have two boys under 3.

Every man, upon becoming a father, has a special gene activated that makes him want to go to the beach and build a giant sandcastle.

"My two favorite activities are working, and reporting union activity"

@372pages.bsky.social - It looks lke someone at the Onion had a friend recommend Mayor of Noobtown: theonion.com/respect-for-...

I realise he was on a lot of drugs at the time, but Samuel Taylor Coleridge made honeydew melon sound much cooler than it really deserves.

Me: the first *person* killed by a car was Mary Ward, she was killed when she was thrown from an experimental steam car her cousins built in 1869. They were the same family that invented the steam turbine, you see. Lots of steam. Cars killed people even before they were what we consider cars.

Hobbit, elf, ent, orc, troll, man. There's an argument for Gollum as a seventh gender, but it's disputed.

I once explained federal student loans to an Irish person, and got the response "That's still socialism, it's just expensive, inefficient socialism!"

So while I'm wondering if it'll be possible to fly home for Christmas, or the jet fuel shortage will make that too expensive, JP Morgan are over here going "that would be really bad, so obviously it won't happen".

Saw a very young goth kid wearing a My Chemical Romance t-shirt, and I am impressed with that band's longevity. They found a niche, and they have held it.

I mean, I guess everyone has to have goals.

We don't need weighted blankets in our house, just lie down and let the dog join you.

Scientists claim that dinosaurs went extinct, and yet the secretary bird exists. youtu.be/l88IWh8ymD0?...

Leon is just being a smart pedestrian. If you wear a car, all the other cars will think you're a car and they won't run into you.

"I mean, do you think billionaires are special? No, they're idiots, just look at our owner. Bought one of the most respected newspapers in the works and just running it into the ground faster than one if his rockets. If these people can make make a billion dollars, what's stopping you?"

"Sweetheart, how many times have I told you don't say 'and stuff'. Just say that The Nice Guys is one of the best movies of all time." apnews.com/article/nice...

I have to admit, it really captures his inability to wear clothes that fit properly.

Listen, I haven't lived in the US for a while, so maybe things have really deteriorated, but I'm almost sure this isn't true.

Look, little "keep steps clear" sign, I'm going to be honest, I think you've lost the battle.

US Academics: I wonder if any universities in Mongolia are hiring?

Teaching in a night school got vampires? That's EVIL DEAD LEAEN

Most people really should not own private cars, and policy should work towards this goal.

Not sure she would think it's her best picture, but I enjoy it.

This Palantir statement is, quite frankly, giving real Denethor vibes, which I guess is on brand.

But this machine can only swallow money. You can't lay a patch by computer design. It's just a lot of stupid, stupid signs

I’ve heard of social tenants not getting access to on site gym facilities etc and that’s bad enough but this is genuinely stunning. Imagine how much of a thundering cunt you’d have to be to do this to a disabled child

Altman sports one of the very rare and unpopular "Denthor was Right!" bumper stickers on his car, apparently.

Bluesky users would be rich, but Peter and Michael keep telling us not to read self help or get rich quick books, so we're all stuck in our dead end jobs and lack of grindset. We can't even develop atomic habits.

Reminds of the day I learned Anvil! The Story of Anvil is not a documentary about the development of an important blacksmithing tool.

Chicken breast is a pointless meat. It just tastes like dry.

The thing about being on maternity leave from an NGO is that my first thought when the Healy-Raes left government was "If these protests are going to end up triggering a snap election, I hope they can get it done before I'm back at work." Which is probably not the right thought.

If it helps, the moon is slowly moving away from Earth, so humans just happened to arise on Earth at the right time to enjoy the best solar eclipses.

Honestly, do you expect the staff of Waffle House to keep track of every disoriented person who stumbles in asking where they are?

TV shows need lower stakes and shorter stories.

Will be blocking the Wolfe Tone Bridge until my demands for the Government to make the City Direct buses actually run on schedule are met.

In fairness, I think anyone can create an antipope. You can even name yourself one, if you want. It's practically an American tradition: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_B...
