I literally just saw an article titled "A Guide for Defeating Procrastination" and saved it to read later

There were people yelling “go back to where you came from” tonight but as I walked down Fleet Street there was also an Irish man ushering a woman with a headscarf along saying “I don’t want you to walk alone, I don’t want to you to be a target.” He had just met her.

Sinead O’Connor just died. She was heavily criticized in 1992 for tearing up a picture of Pope John Paul II on Saturday Night Live, condemning of paedophilia in the Catholic Church. She was right all along.

@tines_io is great for automating common engineering workflows, like the Guy-Fieri-themed celebration we all have for reaching the end of a high-priority issue backlog.

I have ranted about the absurdity of the term "full stack engineer" (I mean, show me the web dev who also writes their own device drivers 🙄) but I'd like to recant. Annoying it may be, but it's the term we've got to describe the most significant shift in eng roles since devops.

James McClean has revealed on Instagram that he has received an autism diagnosis. He decided to share the news publicly to support his autistic daughter Willow-Ivy, writing "Being autistic won't and should never hold her back from reaching her goals and dreams" 💚 #COYBIG

"On their own head, be it" - @PMVTrust Fr. Peter McVerry reacts to the news that tomorrow the Government will discuss ending the evictions ban at the end of the month #RTEUPFRONT #evictionban

On this day 22 years ago, a bunch of weirdos in Denton, including our buddy Rick, held a high concept garage sale where all the prices were determined by mysterious masked figure. Happy Pricemaster Day to those who celebrate.

@DavidNewell95 "lol" for brevity and levity

What are your console logging words?

Saw this coming a mile away when I started hearing these stories. Far-right disinformation has been very effective in scaring people in the area towards xenophobia recently, and I don't think the government will take the problem seriously until some long-lasting damage is done.

Irish people having a problem with refugees has to be the most ironic thing in the world, seeing as there's about 20,000,000 people of irish descent all around the world. Refugees welcome. Always.

A rare case of *not having enough* impostor syndrome

There’s a bot on Reddit that posts this every time someone mentions Chris Brown and it ALWAYS bears repeating

Elon once tried to get me to write a story that a Thai-based British man, who had criticized him, was a “child rapist” and took a 12 year old bride based on information someone sent him. That someone ended up being a conman pretending to be a private investigator.

Siobhan Carr and her tireless staff at The Coffee Pod in #Creeslough have been doling out mountains of free food and drinks to emergency workers for over 24 hours now - they’re still going as I write. They also refuse payment from journalists sheepish at the Donegal hospitality

I'm incredibly proud to share that we've raised a further $55M as part of our Series B. It's a tough time for start-ups, and the @tines_io team has worked tirelessly over the last 18 months to grow every facet of the business. tines.com/blog/extending…

Context for those not in the know: John Lasseter sexually harassed women so often that he was forced from Pixar. When he came to Skydance women who shared concern were outsted/subject to abuse/left. He's likely still harassing women at Skydance.
