I'm frankly a poser for haunted puppets. I'm not cool enough to be a haunted puppet. (Looks around to see if any women will take pity on me) Do any of you fine young ladies have 1.10¢ for bus fare?

WE'RE FINALLY HERE!!! #fatbearweek

Ah, Ireland. Road closures during rush hour this morning and rush hour this evening to facilitate a meeting of transport ministers. Rush hour. Transport ministers.

I wonder what percentage of people who think they have a cough get diagnosed with a cough? Hmmm

The next paragraph says that amazingly, 8 out of 10 people who think they have ADHD, who look for a diagnosis, turn out to have ADHD. I, I don't know why that's a surprise? I don't think I have ADHD so I wouldn't look for a diagnosis? You'll only look for one if you think you have ADHD so 🤷‍♀️

During the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands a group of teenage girls flirted with nazis in bars, invited them to the woods for a hookup, where the other girls were waiting with guns, at which point they'd shoot them in the head. These guys are getting off lightly

The FBI believes women pretending to be tradwives are targeting Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in order to dox them, per The Guardian

Even if a figure of 20% going uneaten is correct (anecdotal accounts suggest older kids and teachers eat a lot of spare lunches), that still means the school dinner programme staggeringly outperforms households, which are regularly said to waste 33% of food bought. www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

School meal review includes portion size and cold options

The Cabinet is to discuss proposals to overhaul the free hot school meals programme after two Government-commissioned reviews revealed shortcomings in the service.

Precisely this—the power attributed to technology makes it incredibly useful for laundering responsibility

The AI industry wants you to say "the AI just did that thing on its own!" Like, United Health's AI that's denying a shitload of claims with a 90% error rate? They wanted you to think it's just the AI.

lmao dude what, apparently a guy selling AI shit at a convention in Australia got so mad that people were criticizing him for it he started biting them. I've heard of AI brainrotting but these people are literally zombifying www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...

r.i.p to you but I bet I could make much better wax wings

Will someone think of the massive losers

A reply guy is just an oomfie you don’t want to have sex with

When I tell you this lives rent free in my brain right next to beloved childhood memories

Well well well, someone said the quiet part out loud

unironically this is a harbinger of our cultural victory

r/crafts has banned all Harry Potter-related crafts due to JK Rowling’s anti-trans bigotry, after a 53-41 vote

ideally i would love to support minority rights but in this case the minority in question is a minority of the population, so it just isn't worth it, mathematically speaking

“I don’t have a problem with trans people, I just don’t think they should be able to use public bathrooms or play sports or get healthcare—“ ok so that’s segregation. you are functionally a segregationist. and you want me to believe that fights fascism somehow. ok.

We are not getting El Niño this year. We are getting El Hombre.

Christening a baby is nothing like christening a ship. I know that now. Once again I can only apologise.

I don't think we disdain the center-right enough. First, they rode nativist populist tigers to power to get their tax cuts and deregulation; Then, they lost control of their own parties to those tigers; Now, they sit in lucrative jobs as columnists writing about how it's all the left's fault.

I've been mistaken for a homestuck a lot and my response is usually to show them Sam & Max Hit the Road, a game I played all the way through while in primary school, which I still quote.

What's your "origin" video game? Most gamers have a lot of favorite games, sure, but there's always one that basically 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 you. I'm talking about the game that flipped that little switch in your brain and made into a life-long gamer. So, which game is 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨?

Eine schöne Bastel- und Malarbeit. Manchmal trägt Obelix den Hinkelstein. Manchmal ist Obelix der Hinkelstein. Dürfte nicht leicht gewesen sein, diesen Stein zu finden. #Asterix #Fanart

Why do harry potter fans not simply pivot to their second favorite book series like people that enjoy reading are able to do?

Still patiently waiting to be "left behind" by AI rather than it chasing me across every damn space like a slasher in a low budget flick.

This image is AI; the sheep in front has 5 legs. This is what people mean when they say "you are not immune to AI".

Barbara is fun

I don't know if it's just that I'm in my 30s but I'm getting a bit fed up with my YouTube feed being full of stuff I already know being told in a tone oscillating between "I'm very smart and informing you of nuance" to "uncovering a conspiracy"

I really hate the framing of these stories as "an AI agent broke out and hacked something." No, an inadequate sandbox meant that a powerful and unpredictable computer program was set loose on the open internet by the company that designed it. The agency isn't with the "AI agent", it's with the firm

Re: Rationalists. I think someone who says that they are able to perceive a God of everlasting cruelty and that you should also perceive this God lest you be punished should be met with extreme suspicion.
