Tradition! Though not one I personally ascribe to. Yuck.

Someone on Vinted is selling 80s fancy paper at €1 a sheet. Even 8 year old me didn’t drive that hard a bargain!

Devastating news, folks.

Just the very top so they can hook up services to the new apartments. There’s surely no footpath up there right now, but there is no continuous one from Cartur Mor down to the roundabout. You have to jet across the road to avoid the cars

Our Switch 2 preorder from Smyths is out for delivery 👏🏽

Michelle Coyne @michellecoyne.bsky.social · Jun 5

I hope they come for upper Clybaun road soon. There’s not even a continuous footpath or pedestrian crossing. Hard to walk to school, never mind cycle.

I put together a crew from my kid’s animal stickers.

Stickers of animals in human clothing. 4 cats, 2 dogs and a hamster in a pink car. They are labelled:
mastermind
hacker
insider
safe cracker
explosives
muscle
getaway

"The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males is not violence toward women. Instead patriarchy demands of all males that they engage in acts of psychic self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves."

Fascinating @benthompson vision of the future of the Internet-i.e.,
"The
Agentic Web"
Scenario: Before I go to sleep, I tell ChatGPT "Plan my 5-year-old's birthday next Saturday, budget $500. When you've made the reservation, email these 20 ppl a printable invitation to attend. Also my wife wants to go to England in mid-July. Find 5 plausible flights for the family and make several distinct itineraries. Finally, pls edit this work memo."
When I go to sleep, the Al agent negotiates slots with two bowling alleys, buys a cake, emails printable invites, plans the trip, copy-edits, etc.

I think they do have magpies, or maybe they are called something else but I definitely saw some black and white medium size corvids when I was there.

The 11yo negotiated a rate with me for weeding the garden. €10 per hour, or part thereof.
He worked just hard enough not to be told off & to stretch the work to 1 hour 5 minutes.

This lad will go far.

I saw a yeti skiing, goofy’s face in profile and an angry muppet face, but not the chicken.

Michelle Coyne @michellecoyne.bsky.social · Apr 9

I am shook. I never saw the chicken in all the years I stared at this tile when I was a kid.

Raging here. For the literal first time in my life I am reading a book with ease, thanks to a little sheet of fucking green plastic.

I’m almost 45 years old. The sheet cost a quid.

Fucking furious.
