We have a political and media which values stasis but we have a world which is delivering jarring changes all the time.
Our state is chasing returning to past status quo, instead of looking forward to preparing for our futures.
Bluntly, the country is being run by nostalgia-riddled Facebook uncles
The coolest thing about solar energy is that you don't need to invade another country to go get it. GREENPEACE
ISRAEL'S CEASEFIRE in Lebanon is as ever a "you cease, we fire" affair- & today they have killed yet another journalist (because there is a risk they may report the atrocities of the world's most immoral army).
Journalist Amal Khalil, dead.
No Hezbollah in sight.

RFK Jr: I terminated the COVID vaccines because it didn’t make any sense. COVID is gone.
Note: From July 2024 to June 2025 in the US, COVID19 caused up to 450,000 hospitalizations and 53,000 deaths.
COVID ain’t gone, shitbird.
Applications for Irish passport from US citizens have jumped dramatically*- especially from members of the LGBTQ community, keen to escape the US. Ireland’s citizenship by descent is generous by EU standards.

Fuck off with your tax cuts and put money into our services and infastructure. No imagination or ambition.
Gardaí conduct 10 raids after hijackings on Dublin greenway, covert patrols used to identify suspects
Hijackings and robberies on the Grand Canal Greenway around Clondalkin in Dublin have prompted Gardaí to conduct what they referred to as a "high-intensity policing operation" with 10 raids and…
I've Ecoplex coming to look at the house on Friday. I'm hoping it will be straightforward. Although we just did a deep retrofit and electricity bill has been falling steadily for three months.
I love Skerries, and especially Stoop Your Head. Must head back there soon
"In reality, [Sitka] plantations [...] are regarded as ecological dead zones that squeeze out most other plants, support few animals and acidify soils and surrounding waterways."
Good @irishtimes.com piece by @codohertynews.bsky.social on the Sitka book sent to schools.

Satirical poster in Hyde Park, Leeds. TRAMS? WE DON’T NEED TRAMS! The solution can be achieved with the application of INTELLECTUAL GUMPTION and our INNATE ANIMAL CUNNING FOR EXAMPLE: 1# Municipal Sedan Chairs The feckless can be harnessed to make up for their complete lack of feck. A win for all. #2 DOMESTICATE THE UBERBOTS THEY WILL NEVER TURN AGAINST US. #3 WHEELED FEETS Absolutely no reason why this can't happen at scale. GIVE UP ON TRAMS. CONTACT YOUR MP AND DEMAND THE ABOVE

Mr Kenny said the construction of 48 homes in Ballymun by the Ó Cualann Cohousing Alliance is the only social housing scheme within the Dublin City Council area that will be completed this year. 2018
Reminder: The Ó Cualann homes in Ballymun were built for €165k. So almost the same price as the Govt is giving to private developers in subsidies per home.
To paraphrase Emmet Kirwan, it isn’t lads in tracksuits robbing the country. It’s men in suits.
There used to be a long cycle lane in Churchtown that bounced up and down across driveways for nearly a kilometre. It was great fun as a kid, but I wouldn't like to be doing the school run on it
Our local town the pavements themselves, outside of dropped curves, are on such a slope that I usually come home with cramp from leaning in the wheelchair to avoid the chair being pulled into the road . I am guessing that's worse with a self propell?
I do the odd Sail Rail to London. It's reasonably pleasant, but fate has conspired to make me miss the actual boat train every time. It's a long day when you miss that connection.
I seem to remember the government saying it was going to adopt open source software about 25 years ago. Maybe it was just a thing to give them a bit more leverage in a negotiation.

Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings
Literally in the time it takes you to say "sorry if I'm not pronouncing that correctly" or worse "I probably butchered that" YOU COULD HAVE LOOK IT UP
Collins is trying to make out that international protection applicants are competing with Irish people for housing. This is not just not true, it's disinformation. A shameful racist lie.
Him: What would be your dream job
Me: Oh that's easy. Sitting on the back of a motorbike on the Tour de France pushing idiots into the ditch
Him: Oh come off it there's no such job
Me:
This video, and 2 copies of the matching book, have been sent to **every primary school in Ireland**.
It's possibly THE most outrageous industry propaganda I've ever seen. The descriptions of Sitka deadzones are so totally false, it's hard to know where to even start.

Dublin currently has ZERO cycle lanes under construction.
You'd think the climate crisis, collapsing AMOC, fossil fuel supply crisis, obesity epidemic, traffic jams or appalling road death increases didn't exist.
No urgency. Just subsidies for ... yep... more fossil fuels 😞
The Rented Garden Shed will be Michael Martin's monument, his great contribution to the Irish landscape. It will become one of Ireland's defining features, a plastic expression of who matters in the country and who doesn't.
There's other more proven measures that suit more cities, and are still needed in cities with congestion charging:
-- Systemic reallocation of space (Paris, Amsterdam, London, Utrecht etc).
-- Traffic circulation planning, including larger schemes (Ghent) or slower rollout (Amsterdam, Utrecht etc)
