thought it would be funny to watch some Roadrunner cartoons on acid but ten seconds in we're all silent out front of the tv, awed by the desolate beauty of these desert landscapes and struck by the emptiness of the world. should these two lone living souls not seek solace in one another

Does anyone know if it's possible to set a negative timestamp in a #git commit? Have an idea for a project showing how a document has changed over time but the first version is from 1937 (Bonus points if that's enough information for you to guess the document)

IDIOT DOOM SPIRAL - Word on the street is you went around the local hostel telling people that you're a police officer and that it would be *really* fucked up if you shot yourself in the head right in front of them. That's pretty high concept, if you ask me.

Explain this, humankind

Comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: Two green aliens are at a press conference, sitting behind microphones. One alien happily says, "Jesus? We love that guy!" Panel 2: A human reporter with a microphone looks surprised and says, "We’ve been waiting centuries for his second coming." Panel 3: The first alien casually responds, "Really? He comes to us every year." The second alien adds, "We invited him for cookies. What did you do?" The reporter starts to sweat. Panel 4: Both aliens pause, looking inquisitive. One alien asks, "Wait. What did you do?" All reporters sweat.

I don't think that Hamas' liberal supporters overseas know that this movement burned cinemas in Gaza in the early 1990s, preventing their re-opening to this day, or that it rejects the idea of a civil state / An anonymous Palestinian from Gaza www.haaretz.com/opinion/2024...

Before being free of the occupation, we Palestinians must be liberated from Hamas

Oops, looks like the Irish Times have accidentally elected the wrong Eoin Ó Broin in Dublin Mid West #ge24 Congratulations to @social-democrats.bsky.social I guess

Screenshot of declared results from Dublin Mid West in the Irish general election. It shows Eoin Ó Broin of the Social Democrats as having been elected on the first count. Instead, Eoin Ó Broin of Sinn Féin was elected. They are two different candidates who happen to have the same name

I love an Irish General election. You can keep Jake Tapper striding through a VR map like a Colossus. I don't want Wolf Blitzer using a touchscreen to show voter turnout. Give me a frazzled RTE reporter coming live from a playschool in Offaly watching votes being added with a pencil for two weeks.

Had a thought earlier and wanted to see what #speirgorm thinks ahead of #GE24: Does the "Ireland is full" crowd think the famine was a good thing? They say the country is full when there's about 7.1 million on the entire island. Still less than before the famine

Finding out that Lake Superior "Never gives up its dead" because it's so cold that the colonies of bacteria that decompose corpses can't survive in it so those bodies never fill up with gas and surface, all because I looked up the lyrics of a 1976 folk song, is what the internet should be more like.
