Me ages 14-29: Fuck the Pope and everything he says. Me in my 30s: Well fuck.

You ever stop to think about the internet and social media? So much technological advancement just so someone can publicly tell the Pope "shut the fuck up" because he's "not an AI influencer".

Oh my god how have I not seen this one before? And yes it was a truly beautiful era. When I showed this to my slightly younger flatmate a few years ago she said "Wow. And this was made without AI?" I think that was the moment I got my first grey hair. youtu.be/vqCHdVOzetc?...

When I say I "miss" a certain food as a vegan I feel a strong urge to clarify that I DO NOT miss the specific animal-based component. I mean that this would likely be possible (and maybe even good) without the animal part but I'm sad that they put animal parts in it!!

Is this content intended to educate children? No. Do too many children and teenagers only learn about these topics via social media? Absolutely. Will this censored language have any negative effect on kids? Hell if I know. But it bugs me that we talk about serious things with goddamn fruit emojis.

Child safety experts: It is crucial we use the correct terms for things, even if they make us uncomfortable, so children can understand unsafe behaviour. Content in the year 2026: So this pdf file had child 🌽 and turned out to be a 🍇ist who SA'd a bunch of people before he unalived them.

hope the irish men's football team will take a good look at themselves they're honestly not likely to ever touch real glory from the sport, but they have a chance to become moral heroes by refusing to play israel history will remember those who stood against genocide more than some footballers

God knows I don't have the slightest interest in football so my contribution to this conversation is brief and shallow. But ask yourself, how do you want to be remembered? What do you want your legacy to be? Another member of a (frankly shite) football squad who went against the fans they represent?

Of course it's not fair that the players were put in this position. But they are and now they have responsibility to do the right thing. #StopTheGame

3 years in and the bbc is still pulling this nonsense for them, hamas attacks israel and kills a definite number of people but israel doesn't attack palestine, it launches an offensive in it it doesn't kill people, but people may be killed during it how many? a subject for debate

The armed Palestinian group Hamas attacked Israel on 7 October 2023, killing about 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages.

In response, Israel launched a massive military offensive in Gaza, during which more than 73,000 people have been killed, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry, whose figures are considered reliable by the United Nations (UN).

8 years after Repeal, those seeking abortion in Ireland are still subject to an unnecessary 3 day waiting period, an unworkable 12 week cut off, and a lack of providers throughout the country. If that doesn't sound very much like Repeal to you, join the march in Dublin this Saturday!

I think one thing that would really help is if one could add or edit alt text after posting. Sometimes people forget (or, like me, have a time-sensitive meme that just cannot wait). Having that option would be way better than expecting them to delete the post altogether.

It was a fairly staggering miscalculation by a “culturallly Irish” musician to think that two Irish acts, and another of outspoken politics and Irish heritage, would go along with the tour after his statement earlier.

Ah, so he went for the "I'm just a musician who wants to have a nice space where everyone is welcome and where we don't have to think about bad things" angle. Interesting contrast to Pink's "I'm the real victim" defense.

It really irritates me when a celebrity does something shitty and people chime in with things like "I never liked him" or "His music sucks", as if their confirmation bias makes them intelligent. But also Ed Sheeran's music sucks and I never liked him.

btw Kanye did a song Heil Hitler and no one stepped in to oppose his tour(s), which is ongoing. In fact, Kanye is scheduled to perform at one of the stadiums Macklemore has been stopped from being at.

Any activism worth its shit has consequences. People have lost their jobs, their freedom, their security, their homes and their lives for standing up for Palestine. Sports teams getting penalised. Actors missing out on roles. Artists giving up performing at Eurovision. That's too much to ask?

Gráinne 🍉 @thrillpool.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Imagine having that platform. Imagine having that power. Imagine millions of people hearing what you say. Then imagine being silent so you can do yet another stadium tour. Good on Macklemore.

So people who only know Community from Netflix miss several scenes of dialogue, miss the DnD episode, AND miss several scenes from the first episode including basically Britta's whole backstory.

It makes me so angry that when they put Community on Netflix they didn't bother putting on any subtitles for the non-English language bits.

I was 11 years old on 9/11 and I wasn't phased by it upon first hearing about it. I knew that we bombed other countries. I saw Saddam Hussein on Animaniacs. I assumed other countries bombed us sometimes. My parents had to sit me down to explain why we're above the violence we inflict on others.

Also comedy writers could spend days thinking of the most edgy, topical punchlines and it would never be as funny as Homer's fantasy of owning a recording studio so he can hire an orchestra to record fast food jingles.
