I still just want to make cool stuff on the internet! And work with my friends and let people have some health insurance and agree with the goddamn reasonable consensus that child sexual abuse material is not only not acceptable, but shouldn’t be part of your business model! I’m normal!

Another historic collapse.

An 18 point lead squandered in the 2nd half with a mixture of dreadful play calling, dreadful defense and dreadful special teams.

One of the best halves of football followed by one of the worst.

Speechless.

The #Packers threw this game away.

On the eve of Bloomsday, I think we should take a moment to acknowledge that Ulysses is (like Finnegan’s Wake, but unlike Dubliners) a terrible book.

And if you think it’s shite, it’s not that you are uneducated, don’t understand it and lack intellectual subtlety.

It’s just shite.

Most prominent mainstream media libs—in my experience—are from backgrounds that have precluded them from interaction with evangelicals in any meaningful way, which means that the people who look to them for information and analysis are at a real disadvantage on this topic

Free link to crazy WSJ story about Musk and his “harem drama.” Can’t do it justice with the four-screenshot limit!

www.wsj.com/politics/elo...
The Tactics Elon Musk Uses to Manage His 'Legion' of Babies-and Their Mothers The world's richest man juggles more than a dozen children and 'harem drama' along with running his companies and advising Trump. He recently took a paternity test in a battle with one woman over money and privacy. Musk refers to his offspring as a "legion," a reference to the ancient military units that could contain thousands of soldiers and were key to extending the reach of the Roman Empire. During St. Clair's pregnancy, Musk suggested that they bring in other women to have even more of their children faster. "To reach legion-level before the apocalypse," he said to St. Clair in a text message viewed by The Wall Street Journal, "we will need to use surrogates." During the height of her interactions with the billionaire owner, Fong earned $21,000 on the platform in a two-week period in November, according to a screenshot she posted. That was about when Musk sent her a direct message asking if she was interested in having his child, according to people familiar with the matter. The two had never met in person. Fong didn't move forward with Musk because she pictured having children in a more traditional nuclear family, but confided to a few friends about the approach -including St. Clair, whom she knew as another conservative social-media figure-and how she worried that turning him down could hurt her earnings. Once Musk learned that Fong disclosed the request to others, he chided her for not using discretion, according to the people, and unfollowed her. That contributed to a fall in her engagement, and her earnings declined.

‘Police and CSO figures show that no causal link between immigration and any form of crime..has ever been recorded in Ireland. But a 12% uptick in hate crimes between 2022 and 2023, and a massive surge in misinformation surrounding migrants and criminality..’

It is a glorious day to see the fash get an absolute hammering country-wide.

I’m so proud of the Irish people sending a clear and concise message that far-right thugs are not welcome here

Sharing the cover from John Scalzi's 2005 break out novel from Tor Books. A pleasure to have had the chance to interpret this novel and been a part of his beginnings in the genre!

It’s very early doors, but so far, Bluesky seems to be distilling social media back to its purest form: actually interacting and discussing shared interests!
