People keep claiming it's a "better window to the world" but actively posting and engaging on a platform where interactions and content are now effectively interchangable with 4Chan and whose own AI puts images of children in tiny bikinis on demand is a choice. There are far less harmful windows.

I've noticed this recently too, on a lot of channels and the channels' own streaming services. Gambling advertising needs to go the way of cigarette advertising and fast.

One of the handwritten gift notes that I can include for free with all orders, if desired.

First year selling my art at Christmas without the Other site, where most of my sales came from, as well as losing US orders to new tariffs, so it'll be a tough one - I put huge work into every order, so even if you can't buy, shares help get them in front of eyes.

Calling on the Irish government and state agencies to immediately close their X accounts. Continued use of a fascist agitator's social media site is both incompatible with democratic values and immoral.

Just a heads up with all the Christmas markets and fairs on at the moment - if you see art or art-based pieces for sale, ask who the artist is, because the amount of people deceptively slapping "made locally" on pieces locally farted out by their computer and a genAI prompt is getting depressing

I tried to rewatch Robin Hood: Men in Tights recently for the first time in about 25 years. I lasted 15 minutes and had to turn it off. It has aged really badly. Also made me question the other shit I watched in the 90s.

An absolute waste of time and resources.

Maybe don’t put it at the top of every search result then?

Absolute travesty. She was the best of the housemates.

We need Interlagos to be the last race on the Formula 1 calendar again. It's always a fantastic race. #SaoPaoloGP #F1

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

I used to sell on Etsy. It was fine until they started really screwing over small crafters about 5 years ago. I left the platform 2 years ago over their attempt to impose targets on the makers that gave them a platform in the first place. This score makes me feel very happy indeed.

The fact that the British media making jokes about it and not pleading for lynchmobs to remain calm is very telling.

Imagine if he had a tan.

Elon Musk tweet: Civil war in Britain is inevitable. Just a question of when.

Completely normal website legitimised on the daily by politicos, hacks and people willing to turn a blind eye to what it is, and what its owner uses it for.

Is it time to eat the rich yet?

They’ll tell you that the arts & humanities aren’t practical and then …

They start off nice, but then they burn your insides. And keep burning. And burn some more.

Another typical morning in town after Culture Night, sean-nós singers left strewn around the footpaths, poets carelessly stuffed under park benches, a lone interpretive dancer being gently blown around the square

Is it time to eat the rich yet?

JP McManus to seek an extra €30m in taxpayer funds for 2027 Ryder Cup Billionaire businessman has already received €58m in public money towards Adare Manor event

a single billionaire is asking for the same amount of money it costs the irish state annually to fund 2000 artists on its basic income pilot scheme so that he can host a golf event

If we decide to treat X/Twitter as a newspaper with lots of unpaid freelance writers, and we consider tweets from Musk to be editorials (and why shouldn't we?) the there's an increasingly strong case for it to be banned in Ireland.

It's like waiting to hear how a negotiation went between Hans Gruber and Ralph Wiggum. You already know. But somehow it will still be worse than you think.

Ferrari have finally broken Lewis. As a Ferrari fan of more than 30 years I was expecting this to happen sooner in the season. I respect that he got this far.

Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist.

Would it be unethical of me to do anything I could to have an affair with said therapist? 😍

starting to think we should give "strange women lying in ponds distributing swords" a chance as a basis for our system of government

I mean my God what is in those files?

He can fuck all the way off.

That implies the existence of a clever son. All of the devil spawn have the cognitive ability of a screwdriver and none of the functionality.

I have seen utter gobshites watching tv on their phones while driving. This device was a way to put it on the screen in your car. What arseclown thought that would be a good idea?
