I remember cahill in hysterics claiming greyhound racing was a rural tradition etc, despite it only happening in towns and cities in a few counties. Rural is such a politically powerful term that's deployed to defend anything, regardless of the impact it has on people living in the countryside

The Strait of Epstein crisis is going to do more to accelerate permanent, unidirectional migration away from fossil fuels to cleantech than decades of environmental activism. ~ Cory Doctorow

Fear taxi? Chreidfinn é. Braitheann sé ar cé chomh sean is atá an carr, ar ndóigh, ach ní dócha go bhfuil raon mórán thar 300 km aige.

BYD's new 1500kW 'flash charger' is over 3x faster than anything US has Last year, BYD unveiled a 1,000kW charger. Now they're up to 1,500kW. The company plans to install 20,000 stations this year.

Ach tá gá le bonneagar (do rudaí seachas gluaisteán aonair freisin)

What Would Have To Be Built A third and final note on the weekend the blockade ended: On the question beneath the government, the opposition, and the tradition, and on…

The mistake of every Irish left project for two generations has been to build a party first and an infrastructure afterwards, and the party has always been absorbed before the infrastructure was built to defend it. ~ @louthforever.bsky.social

Táid i bhfad níos costasaí, agus tógann sé i bhfad níos mó am é a luchtú.

Tá an fadhb céanna ag daoine ag cónaí i árasán, agus tá trua agam dóibh - déanaimid formhór ár luchtú sa bhaile, agus níl fios agam an mbeidh EV againn gan luchtaire sa bhaile..

Mar sin féin tá leas áirithe don pobal i bhfeabhsú bonneagar feithiclí leictreacha. Cabhróidh sé freisin le laghdú praghas.

Ach an chomhairle a chur iad sin in áit. Ní maith liom na háiteanna páirceála i gcarrchlóis phoiblí a deir "cairr leictreacha amháin". Ní hionann do dhóthain airgid a bheith agat carr nua a cheannacht agus a bheith faoi mhíchumas.

It is absolutely absurd that in the year 2026, there are emojis for no cycling and no pedestrians 🚳🚷 but no emoji for no cars 🚗.

Never mind how there are emojis for fuel pumps ⛽ but none for solar panels or wind turbines...

Madness.

Cuireann tú an scéilín grinn faoin buachaill óg a chonaic pictiúir den inchinn. Ansin nuair a bhí sé ag tógáil folcadh, chonaic sé a chadairne.

An é sin m'inchinn, a mhamaí?
!Ní hea fós, a chroí

Bhuel, tógann luchtairí áirithe roinnt uaireanta an chloig.

Tá siad feicthe agam ar soilse i Londain, rogha ciallmhar measaim.

Níl pumpa díosail agam taobh amuigh de mo theachsa ar thalamh poiblí, cén fáth a mbeadh luchtaire ann? Tá luchtairí ar fáil ar fud na hardchathrach.

Would back reintroducting duels in one very specific circumstance:

Any president/prime minister/despot wishing to wage war* on another country can only resolve the conflict by challenging that country's leader to a duel - 20 paces, rapiers, no subs

*includes "special military operations"

Chomh fada is nach gcuireann sé moill ar an albam! 😈

Fáilte mhór roimh Emma Ní Fhíoruisce chuig foireann na Crannóige!

Rinne Uachtarán na hÉireann, Catherine Connolly, cruinniú den Chomhairle Stáit a chomóradh faoi bhun Airteagal 26 den Bhunreacht inniu, d’fhonn cloisteáil ón gComhairle an bhfuil an Bille um Chosaint Idirnáisiúnta, 2026 de réir an Bhunreachta.

Líon mór snag breac ar sreangáin

Cén cnuasfhocal do snag breac?

Is dócha go bhfuil airgead rialtais acu agus nach bhfuil dlíodóirí craosacha a bhíonn sa tóir ar otharchairr chomh coitianta

Just to go back to this, I'm looking at more venues for my sketchbook club workshops atm (basically demand is now outstripping the capacity of the current space) and my GOD this city has a huge amount of nice, well minded community centres that are putting on cheap gigs and weird little events

Ní raibh mé ina láthair ach faoi dhó, ag agóid Slán le Seán, agus nuair a thug sé léacht Uí Chadhain.
