Only in Ireland can you survive a famine, 800 years of occupation, and the catholic church, but get absolutely destroyed by being called middle class on reddit dot com. Anyway Fontaines DC is incredible and I am personally holding them responsible for saving indie music so no pressure lads

Screenshot of search results that reads: Debate exists within Irish media and online forums regarding the band's, as some say, perceived "inauthentic" representation of Dublin's working-class identity, with some accusing them of being middle-class, say some Reddit users.

If you ever find yourself struggling with impostor syndrome, just remember that David Zaslav made $52 million last year to slowly come to the conclusion that, actually, HBO is a good brand

Things my (two) golden retrievers ate this week: - a weed vape - a whole thing of embroidery floss - a single chopstick - cardboard photobooth decorations - an entire roll of scotch tape Stay tuned for the horrors next week will unleash.

18F along with the US Digital Service were one of the bright sparks in making government work better. Direct File has been a successful innovation to allow people to do tax reporting for free. Think we can safely give up on the notion that Musk is interested in improving government capacity.

Elon Musk says he has "deleted" the team that put Direct File together

My relationship with Big wasn’t the only thing I blew up that day. At the Trinity test site I detonated the first plutonium bomb, unleashing a 22 kiloton blast. Had I become Death, destroyer of worlds? Meanwhile uptown, Samantha had her hands full with her own “Manhattan project”

I want to remind everyone that your local library is both physical AND digital. You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library. You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library. You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library. You want sourced info? Library.

Nosferatu is the only American (vampire) production I’ve ever seen where all the Romanian is spoken by actual native speakers, and not just a butchered sentence thrown in to be edgy. What an absolute delight!!!

friends, it is the season of gifting and i must impress upon you the importance of not giving gifts of labor or implied labor unless the giftee has requested it. do not give a vacuum. do not give a plant. do not give a puppy. anything that requires the recipient to perform labor is not a gift.

The brazen murder of a CEO in Midtown Manhattan—and the cheering reaction to his execution—amounts to a blinking-and-blaring warning signal for a society that has become already too inured to bloodshed, @adriennelaf.bsky.social writes. theatln.tc/ZRcsrreK

"The process of decivilization may begin with profound distrust in institutions and government leaders, but that distrust gets far worse in a society where people brutalize one another. There is no shortcut back to a robust democracy."
