Always both hilarious and depressingly on the money. Why is housing the only investment that’s never allowed to lose value? You’re supposed to live in a house, not anxiously wait to maximise profit
Three panel comic. Panel 1: a green heron points to the ski excitedly while a space shuttle flies away. The heron says, “the humans are all leaving! Panel 2: the heron continues, “we can finally enjoy the unaltered beauty of the earth!” Panel 3: the heron stands smiling. Behind it a group of beavers wearing hard hats and safety gear are building a giant log structure. Two of them are looking at a blueprint, another in the back is using a chainsaw.
Finally, a counterpoint to one of my own
Cool! I hope it continues!
The parents in the study were interested in the toy's potential to teach language and communication skills. However, their children frequently struggled to converse with it. Gabbo didn't hear their interruptions, talked over them, could not differentiate between child and adult voices and responded awkwardly to declarations of affection. When one five-year-old said, "I love you," to the toy, it replied: "As a friendly reminder, please ensure interactions adhere to the guidelines provided. Let me know how you would like to proceed."
This is so tragic it's actually incredibly funny

Ullard, or Controversyland, Co. Laois. 'Iolard nó Fearann an Chlampair' in Irish.
The name stems from an ownership dispute between two landowners in the early 1800s.

would it not also be appropriation of Jamaican English? we're not the only ones who do it 🤷 anyway, we don't have it nearly as bad as AAVE
Biddy Early They said she kept a blue bottle. The colour of deep water, of bruises. Men with books came searching for the thing they feared inside it. But the hills had already told her their secrets. Bog-myrtle. Foxglove. The slow grammar of rain. Women crossed the dark fields to her door with quiet emergencies. Milk gone bitter. Blood that would not come. The future pressing like weather. The priests called it witchcraft. The law called it fraud. But the land had always trusted her hands. perdans ined nothing. Only the dangerous rumour that a woman might know what the earth knows.
In Irish tradition, a bean feasa (“wise woman ”) was a healer and seer who worked with herbs, lore, and the wisdom of the land. Biddy Early was one of the most famous. Denounced by some clergy as a witch, she was brought to court but never convicted. #vss365 #SpeirGorm #SpéirGhorm

I CHANGED PROVIDER AND IT WAS A TERRIBLE MISTAKE I CAN NEVER TAKE BACK ): I used to use the free credit to buy premium apps
The Kids Deserve Mascot Horror That Is Made With Their Psychological And Emotional Needs In Mind. What if I formed the Wiggles but for wholesome kids' horror games
I'm begging the small local community groups in Ireland to please consider reframing their use of AI design work this way. The amount of drama and theatre groups in my sphere that I see using AI posters now just makes me sad.
my video game discourse opinion on fnaf/poppy playtime as an early years educator is that I think it's a bit like Goosebumps but for evil corporate video game franchises. Kids love horror stories about murder, that's just how it is
One of the kids at the preschool has a toy Huggy Wuggy, who she calls by name. I get they're marketing the merch towards kids, but how'd she know his name when she can't read? Did her parents know....??
This would be insane. Didn't realise I was a Professor Pickle stan until you said this and I felt it deeply
Introducing the Slow Professor game!

This side-project grew out of ongoing conversations about workload, stress, and the sustainability of academic careers. So, I created a simulator that allows you to experiment with different academic strategies.
BREAKING:
The Irish government condemns in the strongest possible terms the people asking them difficult questions which could end up forcing them to take a position on current global events
I don't agree that the Paw Patrol are the cops. I do think that whoever decided there should be five boy dogs and one girl dog should have to go on a public registry for toy unfairness crimes, though. When has Ryder ever said Feminism? This is why he's a single dad
The toddler room have got me thinking about Paw Patrol again. I like the way Ryder's a kid but he's also, like, the pups' single father. He has a job and he fixes cars. There's a dub option where they all have English accents and I like his voice in that because he sounds like a little mans.

the secret to game design is that as much as players may claim otherwise they all love choosing one out of three things
at last, we have invented retrophenology from the classic Discworld text Don’t Invent Retrophenology
of all the radical leftist thought that is important for teachers, especially, to impart to young people, “owning things is not a skill” is right near the top next to “buying things is not a skill”
“Newton's First Law says that an object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force.
Similarly, for an Irish Government Minister, no movement is imaginable unless the Minister experiences an external pressure”

Behold Greyhawk, one of my illustrations for the 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide! Perhaps the piece I'm proudest of from the past year. I was able to take this one about 70% of the way to finish in acrylics, a major milestone for me.
