For a country with permanently mild weather and easy topography, Ireland is *unbelievably* unfriendly toward cyclists.
It gets worse! Just when you thought they had come up with the worst possible legislation they've gone and made it worse again.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Patrick O’Donovan’s statement here is farcically wrong, grimly idiotic and would be laughable if this were a situation which was capable of ever being a laughing matter.
It should be quoted, cited or just played at him every time he opens his mouth on any matter, for the rest of his career.

Have seen a few ads recently for AWS, based on premise that a lot of the web runs on it but you don’t realise. A lot of people will understand that more this morning!
Amazon has said its cloud services unit AWS was hit by an outage, disrupting several popular websites and apps across the world, including Snapchat and Robinhood.
