Fuck me. Another journey home of narrow misses with cyclists on the pavement. One besuited banker on a Brompton, one Deliveroo twat on an electric bike. Both furious at me for having the temerity the walk on the pavement. Get a grip, lads. And get back on the road.

I know nothing about Dr Who, but, for Londoners, the phrase "Going For Dinner With Billie Piper" is the absolute best way to remember the order of the vertical streets running east to west in Soho (Greek, Frith, Dean, Wardour, Berwick, Poland) and has saved many a late night out

Uncertainty is a feature of science, not a flaw.
Admitting uncertainty isn't the same as pretending both sides are equal.
Populists exploit this nuance to sow doubt on issues like medicine, climate and vaccines.

The very outlets and columnists that say that they abhor groupthink are reflexively producing the same article and viewpoints, time and again, with virtually no discernible difference.
You get the media you pay for. Spend accordingly.

Irish media outlets should be reflecting on how they have a single transferable article that all their various competing columnists are sharing and what that implies about the breadth of their actual contribution to the public

Fintan O'T says the President has "a hollow crown" and "meagre mandate"

He doesn't compare turnout from past elections, which is wise as those facts would spoil the desired effect.

I've nit experienced an election here where so much effort was expended on day 1 to delegitimise the result

By failing to even get nominated for the Presidency while another independent candidate scored a record victory, I have of course been proven right

If Sarah Pochin doesn’t lose the whip we can only assume her disgraceful racist comments are endorsed by her party. And if diversity on TV is really driving her “mad”, maybe she could try educating herself on why it matters - and why her language was completely inappropriate for an MP.
