Renovation beats relocation. The most sustainable building is the one that already exists. www.dublininquirer.com/in-justifyin...
In justifying its plan to abandon its Wood Quay HQ, council refuses to show its homework

Nick Frost says he manifested playing Hagrid in the new HBO show by writing the character’s name 7,000 times. Some of that time could have been spent googling J.K. Rowling instead, perhaps.

🕯️My cousin Brian passed away last night. After a courageous 3 wk stint with ICE. He slipped on a fellow agent’s frozen peepee puddle & somersaulted many times in the air, yelling “yabbada yabbada yabbada” & tragically aspirating (a different) agent’s pee he’d been gargling. He hated women🇺🇸💔

It’s been 6 yrs since my sister rang me about the respiratory illness that she and her colleagues in respiratory medicine, were terrified of. That’s the last time I knew that version of her, the next 18 months traumatised her forever. I know the world had to move on, but its hard to see the erasure
