Claire Ryan

or, in the words of the Nac Mac Feegle:

“Free Men! Nae king! Nae quin! Nae laird! Nae master! We willna' be fooled again!”

MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

Chicken coaster! They always make me think of Stardew Valley for some reason

My sister is a doctor and did a tour with MSF in Africa.

Fuck them forever and a day

They invented an AI actress and made it THE most generic white bint you’ve ever seen

Why are we spending money on this

Just saw a guy walking his dog, in the rain, wearing only a bathrobe and flip flops. The bathrobe had a panda hood on it.

Canadians are weird, man

I have been told that the Rapture is going to happen tomorrow, so on the assumption that there is absolutely no way I’m getting into Heaven, I’m planning to go to my crochet class with the rest of the heretics

Don’t you just love/hate the smug feeling of being right about something horrible

Do we need to talk about enshittification again

For some reason, my thrift videos are popping off on TikTok and I don’t know what to do about it other than boggle at how interested people are in me rambling on about glass

It was because I could deliver features ahead of time, under budget, and designed in such a way that the next feature could also be implemented ahead of time and under budget.

I was the best full stack dev you could hire IN CANADA and it wasn’t for my ability to write a PHP class, lemme tell ya

The whole episode is highly accurate btw. When I was paid an astronomical salary to code, it wasn’t for just the ability to write the code.

This is legit the most absorbing and TERRIFYING episode of Better Offline I have listened to in a while.

My former senior dev soul is horrified at the thought of vibe coders importing unknown, possibly compromised libraries

It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that people don’t care that an asshole is dead. But even so, if the idea of someone celebrating a death truly bothers you, I recommend you avoid all social media for at least a week after Trump finally pops his clogs

I feel like some people need to understand that there’s a difference between celebrating Charlie Kirk’s death, and just refusing to mourn him because he was a complete tool who said a lot of hateful shit

Can’t join the discourse on Charlie Kirk because I swear it looks like someone photoshopped his eyes to be too close together every time I see a photo of him.

Just throws me completely

Huh. Thought it would be more

And yet the first thing I thought was “I wonder what they paid for that domain”

Okay, according to the info on the settlement, a site will be created to ID books that qualify (only those registered with the US Copyright office, boooo) but when that happens, everyone needs to claim their cash and BANKRUPT THOSE FUCKERS

A cat making biscuits on your lap is really cute and cuddly until it’s a 17lb asshole, then you’re suddenly getting an impromptu deep tissue massage and it can be VERY sore

This kinda thing makes me want to revisit that idea I had for a Terry Pratchett-meets-This-Old-House story about a budding magical artisan trying to gain acceptance by restoring her old Guildhall without offending the tastes of her peers

Magic is what you make of it for the sake of the narrative

So @quaidrayn.bsky.social was telling me about this yesterday and I was like “pffft Giuliani helping someone? Buuuuuullshit” and now I have never felt so smug about being right

FFS if you think the orange ferret-wearing potato man is dead, EXPLAIN WHY

Otherwise I am going to bed and whatever shit has happened can wait until I am awake tomorrow with coffee

A photo of a redheaded guy with a red beard, wearing a green sweater over a white shirt, and a bright green keffiyeh with black patterns on it, and he’s holding the Palestinian flag and has the expression of a man who is already drunk but has his next pint in view. I am not lying when I say this is the funniest shit I have seen in at least a few months.

The /r/ireland subreddit found the Keffiyeh Leprecaun image that the Times of Israel used to attack Ireland’s stance on the war, and the discourse was predictably 50% intelligent and 50% absolute mockery.

They’re already talking about making it the official subreddit profile pic

This is a great question and @mabwrites.bsky.social you need to read the replies

2 skeins of yarn on a rainbow kuffiyeh. There is a creamy white skein and a red, green, and black variegated skein.

A speckled red, green, and black skein.

✨CRAFTIVISM ALERT✨

I have 2 new colorways to support families & projects in Palestine. The first "Vive la Palestine" is a red, black, & green colorway paired w/ a creamy base so you can create projects w/ color pops or use it for CC work! "Falasteen" is a speckled one which will work up fab! 🧶

It’s nice to have a husband who will sit on the bathroom floor with you to make sure you’re okay while you’re puking and shaking from a bad migraine at 2am.

@quaidrayn.bsky.social mo grá thú go deo ❤️

I swear, if Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau get together, NO ONE will ever be able to convince me that there isn’t a higher power out there somewhere that enjoys fucking with us for giggles

Oof. @quaidrayn.bsky.social do you still have that copy of Codenames and should we get rid of it?

A close up view of a very large, black tomcat sleeping while lying on my legs, which means I’m probably not going to be able to move for the next hour

The same giant black tomcat sleeping on his back with his mouth partly open, proving once and for all that cats are capable of looking like absolute numpties while napping
