It’s so weird that not so long ago, like, less than 20 years, the progressive feminist position was gender de-segregation in sport and other male dominated spaces. Then the terfs came along and convinced the mainstream that the most progressive feminist position is that women are weak and feeble.

"Deeply concerned" is European for "thoughts and prayers".

I didn't know about the racist thing either, that's a terrible thing. The Hyperion books are some of my favourite scifi works.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

This is so fabulous. Thanks, @eoinglackin.bsky.social ! ❤️

I'm trying to listed to a training session and losing all concentration because of the (lack of) quality of the sound.

Oh, my pals. It's been six year after the pandemic kicked off and we all learned to meet and present online. For the sake of your hearing impaired, auditory processing impaired, and your neurospicy audience, PLEASE PLEASE wear headsets including good quality mics to avoid the awful tinnyness.

I'm sorry Gar but you need to write this now.

It's 2026. Minecraft is 15 years old, GTA Is 25 years old, Sonic is 35 years old, Mario is 45 years old.

If you are still doing "What is this strange thing you call 'gaming'", you're as out of touch as someone in 90s who's never heard of rock music, or someone in the 60s who's never seen a movie

Isn't that on his forehead the sign of the Great Cthulhu anyway

this is why the whole “oh, suffering creates great art” thing is bullshit

you know what’s conducive to art? a roof over your head and food on the table

you know what isn’t? stressing out over where the fuck the rent money is going to come from

Ireland, Day 1056 of The Rain. Everything is saturated to the grey of the sky. Moss covers every surface. The outdoors sounds like constant static. The entire staff of Met Éireann is on mental health leave. I’ve forgotten what dry clothes feel like.

It is still a yellow weather alert.

This track goes so hard you could fire it at Russian tanks.

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

This is excellent.

Always.

How to get to know all your neighbours. Get a puppy.

We need just 569 more Irish people to sign this official EU citizen initiative to pass our threshold.

Very pleased to share details of a new permanent academic job opportunity in Creative & Cultural Industries at University College Dublin. We are seeking candidates with a PhD whose work engages with the commercial creative industries. Deadline: 6 March 2026 universityvacancies.com/university-c....

Whilst I dislike referring to pets as "furbabies" and calling their owners "moms and dads", it does feel like getting parental leave when you have a new puppy would be an amazing thing.

quote from Haruki Murakami: “I keep to this routine every day without variation. The repetition itself becomes the important thing; it’s a form of mesmerism. I mesmerize myself to reach a deeper state of mind. “But to hold to such repetition for so long—six months to a year—requires a good amount of mental and physical strength. In that sense, writing a long novel is like survival training. Physical strength is as necessary as artistic sensitivity.”

Not pictured: Haruki Murakami’s wife, or indeed whoever is cooking, cleaning, paying bills, running errands, doing the laundry, answering emails, etc

like yea his routine is goals, but let’s not lie to ourselves about all the invisible work others are doing to enable him to have that routine

mr. mamdani i sincerely apologize for the mileage this image is going to get

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Completely. Minnesota is massively impressive in the solidarity and care they are showing to each other; the organization is so impressive. Minnesota is going to be the blueprint for how we win against these fascist fucks, worldwide.
