Star Trek characters can go onto the holodeck and create muppet stories where they are the only human character, whenever they want.

“Think I’m gonna go invest my money like a cuck”

I don’t expect our politicians to be perfect by any means but for the first time I’m in a position where I honestly don’t want to vote for any of them

So Ireland’s current list of Presidential hopefuls are:

A Gemma O’Doherty supporter
A dancing Gemma O’Doherty supporter
A convicted rapist
Sharon Keogan’s puppet
Someone who voted for migrants to drown at sea

Did I miss anyone?

It's like when straight couples show you an ultrasound of their baby

The more I look at the bureaucrats and technocrats of the world, the more I think men should have heard the word "no" a lot more in their upbringing

Met Éireann being the secret embassy for the Klingon Empire on Earth, would actually explain some of their more idiosyncratic sign offs.

Calling for an end to the left-right divide while strongly aligning himself with the most extreme on Ireland's right proves he's dangerous and not to be trusted

"says he was very careful and deliberate about who he did speak with."

The fact he was careful about choosing who he chose speaks volumes about his priorities and beliefs

Aligning oneself to personalities who dispute my right to a family, a trans person's right to exist, a foreign born person's right to safety in Ireland, and then calling for "an end to 'left - right divisive' politics" feels disingenuous at best and outright manipulative at worst.

His calls for political unity ring hollow when he has shown close ties to only one extreme side of the political spectrum

I see he's perfected the CEO speaking from both sides of his mouth trick

Perplexity is offering 2X what their entire company is worth for Chrome, so this is purely a PR stunt. And a successful one too, everyone in the tech space is talking about Perplexity today, and it’s not for their products.

Payment processors like Stripe--and businesses that discriminate against LGBT people in general--rely on most people not knowing about it.

They want to have it both ways.

Make sure every single person you know who cares even a little knows to pay some other way.

Tweet reads: Cat ownership is just going "that trash has been there for two months because the cat likes to sit on it. That's the cat's trash"

As a fellow cat parent, I know the feeling

More and more people reporting today that Stripe - the payment processor that Itch said were putting the most pressure on them - now have staff actively confirming that yes, they are censoring LGBT content, adult or otherwise. That this is official company policy.

This seems kinda significant.

Well, well, well.

As predicted by every sentient being, plus some well established fungi, the Online Safety Act has instantly resulted in a company policy treating any LGBTQ material as potentially harmful to the “moral development” of children.

I have nothing but emotion to guide this but the fact Stripe was founded by two Irish lads makes this feel like an extra slap to the face

Your thumbnail on YouTube depicts Ireland as part of the UK which is… not good.

Confession time. When someone is coming over to the house for the first time I tell them my cat is shy and not to be offended if he runs away and hides. He's actually super chill and likes meeting new people so it always makes their day when he struts on up to them to say hi.

It’s too warm to be dealing with the level of nonsense I’m dealing with today, honestly. Look, we’re all sweaty, we all want to be done for the day, a little kindness and we can all get there together.

Ford is a global company and this development from their skunkworks group has the potential to position Ford as a global Ev player. Does the timing suck in the US. Oh yeah, sure. Globally? No, far from it.

Good for her

I long for a time where the people who felt uninformed opinion was as intellectually valid as years of study and experience were seen for what they were, and not applauded

Wow this actively pisses me off. YouTube is directly erasing queer content with AI.

Me and the hubs just went to see it tonight too! Agreed 100% on all points.

Lads. LADS! We're up to two dozen of the little fellas at the front of the house and I currently have an army of metapods at my disposal

Cue whispers down the road of "notions" and whatnot

The Irish Presidency draws in the far right like moths to a flame

"I want to be President because I want to do my part to solve the Irish housing crisis."

Ok, well, I only know two things about you. One, you don't understand the problem you're trying to fix, and two, you don't understand the job you're applying for.
