Or the GE24 debates, where they painted the target on a woman of colour who got cooperative housing by placing her next to a white Irish homeless woman with an ill child. Woman was racially harassed for weeks online, being edited online to look like she was smirking at the homeless woman’s plight.
I remember an artist on Brendan O Connor suggest the far right could fix a lot of things towards the end of the interview. Can’t remember who but can’t remember Brendan really challenging him.
State broadcasting should be scrapped and shunned before it’s tolerated as a tool for authoritarians.
while trying to sell us all the goofiest crap ever conceived like it's not a scam, sometimes all in one device that still does nothing special:
Enough to feed tens of millions. Land really isn’t a problem as the original post states with only 0.25% needed.
What is a problem is making solar unnecessarily expensive and energy intensive with complex installs like above parking lots. Looks good on instagram but that is a lot of steel.
“…Irreversible for hundreds to thousands of years”
“Irreversible”.
This is infinitely more consequential than Trump, oil prices, Hormuz etc. yet we continue to ignore it.
Where is Matt for it 😩
More to life then mere survival
I wish someone would insult me to the region of €½bn.
Drivers of fuel trucks having their families threatened allegedly. Hope any of these cases are reported and investigated throughly. Unchallenged menacing behaviour hasn’t been much different from the far right being in power.
Perhaps repeating lobbying from data centers for integrated SMRs if they pass the private lines bill?
Sometimes listen pro-nuclear podcasts. Most of the industry/advocacy reps openly discredit SMRs but see the AI bubble as an opportunity for likes of AP1000
Alot of people needing to touch grass.
Forgot that I listened last Thursday. The points certain politicians bring about SMRs are bordering on infantile. The smaller size has only made everything more challenging for the limited use of small reactors to date. It only increases the spent fuel due to less efficient heat from smaller cores.
What day are you on? I can only endure so much of Matt in a week.
Not having a go at you either. The diesel engine is going to be irreplaceable for some of the most important parts of the economy. It's probably the single most still significant human invention for better and worse and hasn't been matched by anything else after over a century.
Diesel dependent sectors need demand destruction from the rest of the economy more the anything.
Every heat pump, remote worker, cyclist, electric bus and car is permanent dent in the demand and cost.
Even when there is no wind or sunlight. Power is from gas and refinery waste distillate oil.
Demand destruction is the best hope sectors that can't practically go electric have for cheaper diesel in the long run.
But always comes back to the narrow thinking that you can't have "an electric tractor or heavy haulage truck. So whats the point?"
Need to put sertaline in the water supply /s
“Charity starts at home” has history.
You can probably support the working class and demand support for people who are struggling because of capitalist inequality and also not pretend massively bigoted rhetoric and action isn't happening or being Trojan-horsed in under the guise of taking down those in power, by the way. Just a thought.
Just worth saying, for absolutely legal clarity: the government does not have the legal prerogative to abolish carbon tax in its entirety. Carbon tax is a form of excise, and EU directives require excise on diesel to be a minimum of 33c per litre. (1/2)
What is the word for saying something that’s not just untrue, but the exact opposite of the truth? it‘s remarkably common in sectors that contribute most to environmental damage.
I know Orwell called it Doublespeak but I’m not sure this captures it.

The fairy tale is so sickening to anybody who has experienced it first hand. Irish farms now facing shortages in grain and soy based feed that will put livestock at risk. Nobody understands or respects the scale of putting beef and dairy on so everybody’s plate.
Oh fuck off
The self-appointed "leaders" of the Fuel Protests are truly scum of the Earth.
Why our media choose to interview the likes of Duffy here re the protests is beyond me. Do they really think he cares one iota about anyone but his own self?
also it's very telling he didn't talk to his wife about this, he just let AI blow away her files. guys like this see AI's personhood before they see women's personhood
I'm not saying that's what's happening here, but man.
I'm radicalizing pretty quickly towards the opinion that llms are a cognitohazard. And Twitter definitely is.
My son was wearing Hi Viz and reflecting gear and a helmet with an embedded LED when an Islington Council van rolled through a mandatory cycle-crossing and hit him while the driver was looking at his phone. He tried to persuade me not to phone 999 in case he lost his job. I was surprisingly unmoved.
Enforce the rules of the road and abolish car insurance. A strong welfare state is the only payout anybody needs.
And it’s so awful that post liberalism has emerged.
Steen is straight out of the post liberal playbook of undermining the legitimacy of Ireland’s liberal democracy at every opportunity.
Wait until the usual suspects have a problem with toilets next.
