Green Party leader Roderic O'Gorman has said the expectation that the EU will scrap a planned 2035 ban on new petrol and diesel cars is 'disappointing' and will be bad for both consumers and EU industry jrnl.ie/6905210
Expected scrapping of planned EU ban on combustion-engine cars 'disappointing', says O'Gorman

High tides on Dublin's Victoria Quay beside the Guinness brewery this afternoon, reducing traffic to one lane. Now's the time to prepare for future storms and rising sea levels. #StormBram

This article is a perfect example of a gag so obvious you can't believe no one's done it before, but which is also so well executed that my only complaint is that it's not ten times longer. A true Christmas treat.

I’ve heard @loulayorke.bsky.social’s beguiling album Hydrology—out on 21 Nov—made from H₂O & electronics that ebb, flow, drip, trickle, pulse, oscillate, & ripple

She’s a modular synthesist who won awards for her women-centered synth-building workshops Atari Punk Girls

🇵🇸No more delay on the Occupied Territories Bill

I was proud to stand today with other Leaders of Opposition Parties and Senator @francesblack1 to call on the Government to progress the Occupied Territories Bill.

It has been a year since FF and FG campaigned on this during the general election(1/2)

This week, for the first time in seven and a half years of writing a weekly parenting column, I admit why I so rarely use it to give out advice. On experts, common sense, and being bad enough at parenting that I'd never tell anyone what to do.

Since I'm a famed sappy dad, the Observer asked me to interrogate the John Lewis Christmas Ad Industrial Complex. On this oddest of cultural lodestars being stripped to its bare wires; a confusing, crass, and effective bit of emotional weaponry.

Bad enough the Gardaí gave free run to the far right for years.

Bad enough arson against immigrant centres became standard practice for racists.

Bad enough we've already had race riots.

The Taoiseach & Táinaiste poured petrol on all the above during the week, & we shouldn't be shy in saying it.

In Ireland
• Nature is haemorrhaging
• Water bodies are sick and dying
• Greenhouse gas emissions from land are soaring
• Flooding is ever more catastrophic
• Etc...

Because we've turned nearly all wild, natural habitat into barren monocultures of grass or shitka.

Mass REWILDING is the solution.
