25+ years derelict. In Dublin City Council ownership since 2019. No funding from the Department of Housing to rebuild.

The two derelict houses on 19 & 21 Connaught Street have been abandoned by the state. They're now structurally compromised and a risk to the neighbouring houses on the terrace.

Let’s work together to help these kids regain something after their terrible treatment at the hands of the occupation. They deserve a chance to live happy lives.

The movie was explicitly designed to cash in on the song! That's why it's so good and its plot makes so much sense!

Collage of photos of Ahmed: first photo is of him wearing a blue jacket and black outfit with his trousers rolled up. He’s standing in dirty flood water. Second photo is of his torn tent from flooding, third is of a selfie of Ahmed in his displacement camp and the fourth is another angle of the first photo

We in Gaza are still living under annihilation every day; a suffocating siege, skyrocketing prices, and severe shortages of food and water, even during Ramadan. πŸ’”πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ

While I agree with the point, I would be wary of a drug dealer who posts their press releases.

The ideal social media CEO is a gray dopey type who just posts press releases and doesn’t use their own product. Very much like drug dealing, as it turns out.

This is to say: if you're an attorney who's hesitated to take on habeas cases because you think you lack the knowledge, or you're worried about whether you'll really help, I PROMISE you can make a difference. I'm just a dipshit with a 7-year-old laptop and a bad attitude. If I can do it, so can you.

Soon the cycle of enshittification will move so fast & so predictably that you'll be able to mark the changing of the seasons by the mass migration of posters fleeing to danker platforms when the cold front of new venture capital management rolls in

Yeah I do too, I'm also curious to see whether Arnie's kinder, gentler, lib-coded persona these days will transfer into the movies (can't imagine a liberal Robert E Howard adaptation mind)

I'm doing something I've not done before. I'm taking the paywall off this latest piece of mine, just for an hour, solely so people on Bluesky who want to read the full thing can.

I massively enjoyed writing it.

- Never look back, only forward

- Don't be boring

- Do it for the story

(If you're unsure if you should do it, do it if it'll make a great story later)

It is a transcendently entertaining movie, but it does contain all of the things you don't like - I hope you can bear it!

The situation in Gaza is rapidly worsening as Israel forces Iran into a brutal war. Food is scarce. Sama'a and her children are struggling.

Please give what you can.

Took the kids to a bday party yesterday. One of the kids kept whispering in the ear of other children at the party, dragging them off somewhere for a few minutes at a time. She did it to my youngest, and when I asked him about it that night he said, "we were just going to see the god in the mirror"
