The face of a man who knows he’s FUCKED

I recently discovered that when you're an adult, you can eat pancakes any time you like.

How to make pancakes the british way:
Step 1: remember it's pancake day
Step 2: work all day because you are a cog in the capitalism nightmare machine
Step 3: Too tired to make pancakes
Step 4: no pancakes for you

Cat with a plate of pancakes.

When puss comes to shrove...

So funny for him to travel down to Enniscorthy just to be like 'now of course as you know, I can't do anything about this'

Catherine O’Hara didn’t steal scenes she just showed up and ownership automatically defaulted to her

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Don’t shoot the messenger, but am I alone in wondering whether The Traitors has fallen victim to its own success? Whether the bubble has burst? I’m genuinely worried that what started off as the real-life version of a cheery family board game has segued into one of those joyless, bloodshot Monopoly all-nighters where it’s all come down to screwing your favourite rellies for rent and counting up the cash.

Series 1 involved voting off a woman because she only had one hand and a Scottish guy making several people cry by yelling at them. What are you talking about.

Stephen won them the final, but Rachel won them the game. Masterclass, really deserved victory #TheTraitors #TraitorsUK #traitors

two players made Traitors in the first episode winning the game together is honestly incredible game play #TheTraitors #TraitorsUK #Traitors

I LOVE YOU, YOU LABRADOR THAT GOT CURSED WITH THE WEIGHT OF HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS. #TheTraitors #TraitorsUK #Traitors

Traitors winners Rachel & Steven, with Claudia, standing over a crock of gold

Transphobia exists to break the powerful queer & women alliance. But when we stick together and have each other’s backs, we win #TraitorsUK #TheTraitors

Yeeeeees! This is why gays and girls are the greatest alliance ever #TraitorsUK #TheTraitors

WOW! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE BOARD OF PEACE!

Nomination and selection of Nobel Peace Prize laureates - NobelPrize.org A nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize may be submitted by any person who meets the nomination criteria. A letter of invitation to submit is not required. The names of the nominees and other informati...

Some thoughts:

1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1.

2. History professors are qualified nominators.

3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence.

4. He would be so mad.

Those secret relationships added nothing to the game at all. But a good future twist on secret relationships would be to get a couple who are genuinely friends and in love and make them both traitors #TraitorsUK #TheTraitors

FFS they cut Roxy finding out how wrong she was in order to make time for people I’ve already forgotten opening an envelope to react to utterly irrelevant family connections #TraitorsUK #TheTraitors #Uncloaked

Now it's as good a time as any to start working out how to transfer your digital services away from Google or Azure towards something based in Europe. If you run a business do you want to risk your office infrastructure being severed by a trade war?

This is the thing isn't it? Can you imagine any other Taoiseach in our history saying "I accept these people are publishing CSAM but I will continue to avail of their services" out loud for everybody to hear

telling the secret police they have immunity to harm & kill citizens really lays bare the hollowness of decades of right-wing GOP screeching about encroaching Big Government - it was never a problem they had with government per se, just that it wasn't being used to harm the people they wanted to

🚨 Breaking

Gardaí say investigations are underway following Grok scandal.

"We have received reports and referrals of content on that platform that is under investigation... the process takes some time... it has to be assessed to make sure it's criminal... the people responsible have to be ID'd"

NEW: "Given Ireland's very significant history of deference to institutions... We don't want to allow a similar level of deference to large corporations to lead us into the same failure."

@conorom.bsky.social on X and Grok and Ireland's response on @virginmedianews.bsky.social at 12.30

There is no reason the Irish Gov departments can't do simular.

Excellent Gist.

I had forgotten about the Garda visit to Today FM about the Brian Cowen painting.

#IrishPol

Lots of abusive and misogynistic far-right posts on X are the first replies to the Minister for Foreign Affairs.

This is the 'engagement' that the Irish government has been using to justify remaining on X. These are the top replies to a randomly chosen recent post.

I know we are all the frogs being boiled but, when it really hits you, the question of 'should the world's largest producer of CSAM be banned' and the governments response is to just flop around. This situation is absolutely crazy.
