In my dismay at how #carculture leeches into our three-year-old's life, I felt this book needed an edit..

Anyone spot a cyclist (me) knocked off her bike along the canal at drimnagh today by someone who drove away? If you got a reg I’d love the help to report them! @ibike.ie

The driver who cut across the bike lane *inside school grounds* this morning, waved his apology with the phone in his hand.

But yeah, I probably should have been wearing a yellow clown costume. My bad.

Quilicura, Chile, one of the communities I wrote about in EMPIRE OF AI, has launched a brilliant initiative to inspire more responsible AI prompting. Today, don't use AI; ask the townspeople instead: quili.ai. So heartened to see this creative act of resistance.

Despite the arts space’s best efforts, The Complex announces its closure today, in the latest space loss for Dublin arts and culture, as government ministers fail to act to save it.

We are culturally rich yet politically inept. So it goes ad infinitum

Somebody on here quipped earlier that we live in precedented times. It hit home with me.

In 2003 I watched US troops roll in to the oil rich Iraqi city of Kirkuk and roll straight out the other side to take up defensive positions around the oil refinery.

Large convoy of trucks, vans and the odd motorbike blared through our town just now - apparently on a charity event. Good for them.

Call me old-fashioned, but perhaps there are better ways to raise funds than noise and air pollution.

They've done it again, they've cut more rail projects. The most criminal one for me is cancelling the reopening of the Waterford-Wexford/Rosslare line. On the left is the All-island Rail Review published by the last government and on the right is the plan published today.

Can we start by getting rid of the Angelus?
RTÉ director-general Kevin Bakhurst said airing the Toy Show earlier would 'almost be like getting rid of the Angelus'.

What do you think – should The Late Late Toy Show start earlier? jrnl.ie/6900225

There's a guy in our town (I assume it's a guy) whose car makes a loud artificial "Pewww" sound on every gear change.
And I just wanna tell him how much of a tragic tool he is.

Welp. Looks like I'm getting a new battery for Christmas... But not from Rad, apparently.
This blows.

Seems like the trimmings on the RadWagon cargo bike were perhaps not designed with the Irish climate in mind. #bikesky #speirgorm

A lot of people do not realize how violent the UAE is. Part of the reason is the mainstream media calls the conflict in Sudan a “civil war” without mentioning UAE’s interest in the destruction. Part of the reason is their effective sports-washing.

Don’t let it blind you

While this seems like a laudable, forward-thinking move, enforcement now of a 50kph limit is barely enforced.
So I, for one, don't anticipate feeling any safer from selfish motorists.
