Happy Thursday #ThePitt fans

The fandom are not going to be okay with this clip...

Hell I'm not okay.

Boundaries.
House siting.
Naked Abott yoga...

If I don't come back?

Eek

Wealthy Dubai residents race back to UAE to avoid tax bills Some risk spending too few days in the emirate and too many in the UK

Tax exiles stuck in London desperately trying to get *back* to Dubai to avoid becoming tax resident in the UK? Just great stuff. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Tenants of 36 households in Co #Wexford were told their landlord was delivering eviction notices because of the Govt’s new rental rules, according to a leaked video.

Residents heard the landlord would follow “radio shows and political debate” before making a “final decision” on their housing.

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

Oh I got lucky with an emergency appointment, and decided I'd rather be poked and prodded there and then than go on medication and wait.

Apparently a good call as the infection had gone deeper than was visible on 2 X-rays.

Emergency root canal...

570 squid.

Ouch.

But I felt like I needed that instant relief 😮‍💨

Photo of ucd protest

Probably the largest protest I’ve seen in UCD - in solidarity with the UCD medical student who suffered horrific #GBV I’m proud to see so many of my students here.

The whole point of "resistance is futile" being the catch phrase of Star Treks cybernetic villains The Borg, is that individuality and personal liberty are worth fighting for.

Humanity is worth fighting for. To resist IS human.

Building the AI Torment Nexus ain't it.

There’s been a lot of comparisons to the early Internet and AI, but I don’t remember the AOL voice telling me “resistance is futile” after logging in

I visited Carrifran Wildwood myself last summer, and the scale of what has been achieved there truly has to be seen to be believed.

At least 400,000 acres is now being rewilded in Scotland: an incredible 2.1% of the whole country, and rapidly increasing all the time.

Come ON, Ireland!!

What's wild about all the TRANS CONTAGION pieces is that, outside of Op Eds, the editing process at these publications make it *almkat impossible* to make even basic factual statements without rigorous fact checking.

A rule that is just shredded, pulped, and thrown out the window for transphobia.

In war, civilians suffer, while the rich line their pockets.

Oil profits are up. Weapons companies are booming.

Meanwhile, schools and hospitals get bombed, and thousands die.

War makes billionaires and their corporations even richer. It’s just another business model for them.

Brilliant. An expat im Dubai has a startling revelation, by @stephencollins.bsky.social

Lol... Who uses actual Facebook anymore.

It's just email log in for all their other apps at this point.

Missile Attacks Are Overwhelming the Gulf. Delivery Drivers Are Still on the Roads Missile and drone attacks have disrupted daily life, but delivery drivers are still diligently navigating streets to drop off orders across the region.

Perhaps the most extreme example I've yet seen of expecting deliveristas to keep delivering "convenience" through life-threatening conditions. It's almost as if...our societies don't see them as human beings.

Well there will be no more vaping this week...

Spike in pain too strong.

There's also no consistency from any pain relief. Just waves coming and going.

Look, it goes without saying that all these people are dumber than rocks.

But issuing *exactly* the statement your opponent in a hot war would dream of seems a particular failure to understand how propaganda is meant to work.

When the mad king recruits with sycophancy as the only metric needed.

Fox News report: KIDS ON BIKES

“Will no one stop them” says local curmudgeon

Pain in my teeth emerged last week.

Higher spikes of pain into yesterday.

So I booked a dentist for Friday...

€50 just as a deposit on the booking. FML.

I know I don't go very often, but sheesh they get charge whatever they like

Surprise, surprise...

Podcasts ...

in the latest example of how we're governed by the Make a Wish Administration, Melania Trump is presiding over a UN meeting

BREAKING:

The Irish government condemns in the strongest possible terms the people asking them difficult questions which could end up forcing them to take a position on current global events

That is the face of a person who has had a stroke who is exhausted.

(And yet he's starting a regional war with no exit strategy)

Regardless of who's face it is, that can be read by anyone who has been around persona in that condition.

NTA Public Consultation – Pets on Public Transport: Have Your Say - Luas

There's definitely a difference between UK influencers in Dubai Vs the Irish who are there as teachers and other skilled professions.

Both ignoring the gross disparities of their host, but yet one is easier to frown upon for its vacuousness, whilst the other is seen as needs must choice

Quote of the day.
