There are renewable powered alternatives to much of this. But only if other heavy users like Data Centres aren’t prioritised. Production of bio-fuels from feedstuff will have to be re-examined too. We are burning the equivalent of 15 million loaves of bread a day in Europe.

Stamp art of the new logo, showing Irish language names on a signpost with Reclaim Your Placename.
Stamp doodle logo for the @cnagaeilge.bsky.social AthGhaelú campaign "to encourage people to use Irish placenames instead of English placenames in all aspects of life."
They've also created a Gealltanas Logainmneacha "to encourage individuals and groups to use Irish-only placenames" #SpéirGhorm
we need to be talking more about the aspect of the chaos gorilla regime where they are financially incentivized to take actions that are unexpected and counterproductive to exploit long odds on the insider gambling apps
We need to find out what connection the Healy T'Raevelyans have with UK based Construction company Morgan Sindall.
And why their unwanted copies of this tripe is being circulated in Irish schools.

‘And the children’s book industry shook their heads in dismay, but they were not surprised,’ Mother Nature said. ‘However, they were puzzled by the lack of an author’s or illustrator’s names, and the 1990’s Photoshop text effects.’

Honestly, too few of us recognise that Trumpian levels of tacky, self-serving corruption have already infiltrated our political life in Ireland. It's not something we need to "watch out for". It's already here. #spéirgorm

This one on the Healy-Raes is, I think, going to stick.
I don’t know when this guy sleeps but @gavreilly.com breakdown of yesterdays government debacle is very good
open.substack.com/pub/gavreill...
There are only 44 female TD’s in the Dáil. Each female Minister who stood up to speak during the confidence motion was heckled and shouted over during their speaking time by Independent Ireland. It is not acceptable.
Smash hit Holywood sequel.
Would be really nice if the left parties/politicians that couldn’t move faster to support the protests would speak up on behalf of people like this who are shouldering the burden of them
#speirghorm
What a well written article that details the far-right element of the fuel protests. Well worth a read.

Well, if we can get cheaper diesel for agricultural contractors and fleet HGV operators it will have been worth it

Shameful “The Health Service Executive briefed the body that the disruption is causing people to miss scheduled medical appointments and is impacting the provision of homecare and critical care, such as dialysis and cancer treatment, to some service user”

Angry white men
Just because you have a tiktok live does not mean you can hold the country to ransom organise yourselves formally lads.
Why, why is the government allowing this to happen? Last year they arrested and terrorized people who held a Gaza protest outside Leinster House. But now nothing.
Fire and ambulance services to be curtailed due to fuel shortages caused by protests jrnl.ie/7008778
Tomorrow morning we'll have a deep dive about how a militant group of outsiders managed to take control of a national movement and bring the country to a standstill. There's a lot of swearing in it.

We are getting there in terms of getting to the bottom of the origins of this protest. Govt were correct to stand firm in meeting with representative groups only. We must uphold our democratic structures, we are lucky to have them. #speirgorm
