Exactly one year ago today:

An ADSBx map showing Journey’s N62FF going from Mesa AZ to Shannon airport in Ireland.

HEADS-UP, IRELAND: A likely ICE flight has just landed at Shannon again, likely to refuel before delivering shackled migrants to god-knows-where.

This is the same plane that sent migrants to Uganda — a country they had never been to before — on April 1.

One of my proudest pieces,
"Isometric Exercise"

i will never forget how elon musk said absolutely nothing at all about the NASA artemis ii mission except one post making fun of that women who took the photo of the launch in the reflection of her glasses. he hates space

The great thing about trying to appease the lads behind the blockades with tax cuts is they don't want to be appeased and will probably just keep at it regardless.

We're in playing chess with a pigeon territory here I reckon

HEADLINE: they actually put transparent legs on geodude at a parade in japan Three mascots of Pokémon, one of whom is Geodude a cranky rock man. He has transparent legs

WALTER CRONKITE (gravely):

You can tell me Bluesky is dead, irrelevant and actively hostile, but you have NO IDEA how many point & click adventure games I've played.

So fucking funny to sell this to big businesses and world governments

A Kalshi ad that says "We don't do death markets"

My "We don't allow bets on assassinations and murder" ad campaign has people asking a lot of questions already answered by the ad campaign

this is a place of honor. something extremely cool is buried here.

I don't think enough attention is given to the fact that FFG's housing plan:
1: Suggests rents must go UP for landlords to consider it a viable investment.
2: Envisions that those same landlords will keep building houses until their own investments will lose value through competition. #spéirgorm

In times of crisis people are *much* more likely to help each other than trample each other in a panic.

Walking thru the “Ultra Normie” No Kings rally in my extremely rural, white town and there are Patagonia wearing moms carrying signs that say “DEAD PEDOPHILES DONT REOFFEND” and “ICE GETS THE WALL” and I hi fived an old guy with a sign that said MY DADDY FOUGHT NAZIS AND SO WILL I” this is wild

When are they gonna do something that IS for the faint hearted? I've been waiting so long.

One of the craziest aspects of this was Ireland was living in two sets of realities because at the same time, someone like Patrick O'Donovan was adamanant about banning social media for U16s because of safety concerns and someone like Patrick O'Dovovan wasn't too keen on pursing the Grok issue.

Let's be clear: this man was detained during Biden's administration.

Trump has ramped it up and has put the violence on full display, but in this arena the Democrats have blood on their hands too.

I feel really bad about starting a war with Iran now, my bad.

Parents don’t want transgender teachers, my dear. They just want their kids to get an education, not indoctrination into your cult. They pay their taxes; it’s their children, and they have a right to a say.

When Roisin Murphy's comment on puberty blockers was highlighted, many in Irish media tried to defend her having "reasonable concerns", yet, here she is this week saying that trans people shouldn't be allowed to be teachers if parents object.

What other minority groups does this view extend to?
