This is my 6th year posting this same message. Black Friday is a nonsense with often pretend discounts on stuff you probably don’t need. We’ll do as we always do at this time and increase the 1% of all income we give to Women’s Aid to 10% on web sales over the weekend. Fuck Black Friday. #speirgorm

This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.
Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

Great piece by Anna Cafolla on Ireland's brilliant alternative and independent music scenes.
‘We’ve got to release the dead hand of the past’: how Ireland created the world’s best alternative music scene
Irish indie acts used to be ignored, even on Irish radio. But songs confronting the Troubles, poverty and oppression are now going global – and changing how Ireland sees itself

90%of my 8km commute to work is on off road cycle infrastructure from Knocklyon to Rathgar thanks to recent investment in infrastructure. 25 minutes relatively stress free. 👍
Talking about the benefits of active transport is as well and good, but what really makes the difference is the infrastructure.
Build it and they will come!
Let's get moving Dublin!

Dublin has all the ingredients to be a world-class cycling city, but we need a real shift in thinking, ambition, and action.
We need to move from talking the talk to walking (and cycling) the walk.
Because as is, this is what it feels like to cycle in Dublin 👎

2. Every single university that has invited OpenAI into our midst should be asked to account for their choices.

Got an email from Amazon to be part of their invite only "Brands of Ireland" campaign which apparently aims to help businesses for Black Friday, Christmas etc. Sounds nice but Amazon is a killer of small businesses and they can fuck Black Friday. Buy independent and buy local when you can.

Imagine being these world leaders and experienced diplomats and just having to sit there and listen to this maniac talking absolute dangerous bollocks for hours. It’s sometimes hard to believe this is real life.
Trump to the UN: "I have to say, I look at London where you have a terrible mayor -- terrible terrible mayor -- and it's been so changed, so changed. Now they want to go to Sharia Law ... both their immigration and their suicidal energy ideas will be the death of Western Europe."
