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

"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." — bell hooks

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.

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.

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.

One of the best things about Home Exchange is that it forces you to do the house maintenance you’ve been avoiding. No way strangers are going to see any mouldy sealant in my shower.

I like Chris O’Dowd, but christ, his Irish pronunciation in the audiobook of The Wild Laughter is criminal. It’s so distracting.

It's #stpatricksday and I present to you a thread on representations of Irishness from around the world, especially those not well-known in Ireland.

Harajuku fashionista Ryoki, who went viral in 2018 for pairing a 2002 Ireland jersey with "grey Balenciaga cropped pants, a Comme des Garcons leather belt, and white socks with black loafers".

First day wearing newly blocked socks! Olive green Vovó 100% wool yarn from Portugal, knitted with a 2.75mm 26cm circular needle (tight!). I bought the two balls of yarn separately so the socks are slightly different shades, ah well. 🧶

My legs in blue trousers and my feet in olive green handknitted socks, seen from above.

Ever have a family saying that you don’t know the origin is, and then one night you’re watching an old film that just happens to be on tv and one of the characters just says: Fuzzy Wuzzy was a woman. No? Just me?

A voyage through the Tupperware catalogue from late 1978 🧵 #speirgorm

The cover of a catalog titled: Tupperware for each new day.
Various items of Tupperware are arranged on a kitchen counter, each containing food items. Hors d'oeuvres, scotch eggs, sliced tomatoes, meatloaf, salads, bread rolls and one head of cauliflower.

I’ve been fixing up my mam’s old suitcase. She kept her dress design notes from the Grafton Academy in 1970-1971 in it along with her kit from her time as a Tupperware party host in 1978.

A white page with “Welcome TO THIS
TUPPERWARE® PARTY” on it. There is a line drawing of a woman’s smiling face on the bottom right.

I set about replacing the 20 year old electric shower on our bathroom over the weekend. My top tip to folks doing the same is that the valve in the hot press may not turn off the shower supply like it does with the taps. ⛲️ Turn off the mains and empty the attic tank before you unscrew anything. 🌊
