Google must have finally incorporated AI into Google Maps. How do I know?
It just told me I needed to leave now to be at Dublin Airport by 13:30 now to catch 9am Citylink that arrives in Dublin Airport at 11am. Then I should take the 11:45 Kells bus to Ballymun and walk back one hour to the airport

Catherine O’Hara… she was great. I always liked her attitude. I hadn’t seen this in years and a fan shared it with me. May her memory be a blessing.

We don’t know how many different ways we can revolt until we are called to do it and this is the most out of the box form of protest I’ve seen.
They’re literally running the words “Fuck ICE”.
And they’re doing it in more than one place.

I have been reminded by @alibax.bsky.social of the single greatest moment of televised skiing and I’m aware I don’t think I’ve posted it here before youtu.be/85AHvpGTkdU?...

What do you reckon the embodied carbon of this chapel is @jeffcolley.bsky.social? (We’ll ignore the airtightness…)

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.
"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."
"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

Andrew Waugh's lecture on low carbon architecture, well worth a watch.
Themes like sufficiency, prefabrication, design for disassembly, use of timber and rammed earth.
I'd like to see less glass in their buildings but that's a minor gripe.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Not surprising that a minister in this lazy government thinks that the solution to a complex problem is to force cyclists to wear magic clothes so he doesn't have to contemplate all the other, far more effective, measures.
