This is going to be a long thread, but here is a quick summary of what I'm diving into:

In 2014, 25-year-old Erika Kirk (then Erika Frantzve) was publicly engaging with a 15-year-old girl named Jillian on social media, aparently spending a lot of time together, and Erika sent Jillian chocolates (🧵)

Week 4 of pole dancing classes, and, even though I messed up the first spin in this, I'm still having a lot of fun and sucking less every time!

Good news: the UK Government is now offering free short courses on how to use the rabid monkey that comes taped to every computer now for some reason! You'll learn how to...

- dodge the monkey's angry fists!
- understand its tortured screams!
- write invoices in bits of poo he's left on your desk!

The New Yorker wanted this but I said I’d put it up on Bluesky at half 8 in the morning instead.

“The average person knows 3 guitar chords” is a statistical error. The average person knows 0 chords. However there goes Guitar Georg, he knows all the chords. He is an outlier and should not have been counted.

Weird, I definitely posted this earlier and then it disappeared.
Practicing speed in longsword a while ago, think I'm coming in at a bit of an angle here, I adjusted my form a bit and getting it much more consistently edge-on.

Topless because I'm a slut.

People joke about how men are always supposed to be thinking about the Roman Empire, but what I am proposing is that all men, at all times, are up for watching Master and Commander.

If Microsoft aren't protecting their IP then it creates grounds for other people to use their IP.
I asked Microsoft PR about this—specially the DHS using Halo IP to recruit for ICE—and the company declined to comment.

To be simultaneously holding that the largest vote in the history of the state doesn't matter but the few thousand people who spoiled their vote has proven that our electoral democracy is a sham is gas

Everyone should take 5 minutes to complain to Dublin City Council, this is horrific behaviour for a councillor and should see him fired and up in court for libel.

As we await a verdict in the trial of Soldier F, another reminder that in 2010 the Bloody Sunday inquiry found

- the killings were unjustified
- none of the 14 dead (7 of whom were children) had guns
- no warnings were given
- no soldiers were under threat
- the troops were the first to open fire

Fact: Heather Humphreys approves of foxes being ripped apart by dogs.
#aras2025 #Áras2025 ##Speirgorm
🗣️ “If a fox is being ripped limb from limb and is dying a slow and agonising death - how can you say you abhor animal cruelty?”

🗣️ “These are rural pursuits and have been for many, many years.”

Heather Humphreys discusses her support for fox hunting and hare coursing.

Sorry but the idea of Catherine Connolly shooting someone on Shop Street is hilarious. As if she's in a fouler, barging through a flock of macnases, growling to herself "if I see one more juggler I'm going to fucking scream" and then a druid with a bong asks her for a light and she just loses it.
Other papers are at it too

A stick, hanging in mid-air?
What's going on?

Hazel glue fungus!

Keeping a dead twig attached to a living stem allows the glue fungus to break it down without competition from the many other fungi that work at ground level. Nature is *so* amazing!
