Leading medical publication the British Medical Journal recognises SUVs as a danger to public health in a new editorial co-authored by T&E’s James Nix: bit.ly/4hVDlBC Large SUVs are a danger to pedestrians, cyclists & other drivers. It's time to take action to reduce their presence in urban areas.

At 13:40, Phili Halton, like some brilliantly articulate & correct historian/architect/campaigner, speaks to @mattcooperlastword.bsky.social about efforts to create spaces for Dublin's youth, often against council ideology. Well done RIAI for inviting this young voice shows.acast.com/68e546af744f...

Help me writing experts! Setting aside the article's content, this phenomenon of writing as bullet-points, with 1/2 sentence sections is strong here from Min. Donohue. Precise writing? Or a sign of over-confidence? Any writing recs for why this is problematic? www.irishtimes.com/culture/book...

A fine tagline on the @irishtimesnews on the Irish Presidential race, which Catherine Connolly will indeed win, with the Irish Government's candidate, Heather Humphreys, coming second.

In Ireland, more than half of all female architecture graduates have left the profession. The gender pay gap in architecture in Ireland is 10%. It's 18% in one Dublin architecture office. (Ireland's median gender pay gap is less than 8%.) Credit to UCD colleague Dr Dearbhla Murphy

These are the final seconds we have from Paul. His phone has been taken, and his passport. We urgently need Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Harris TD to intervene, demand he is freed, his passport & phone returned and the protesters are allowed to peacefully #MarchToGaza Please email tanaiste

I don't think the old men & their friends have been so stupid about violence since the last time the old men & their friends were so stupid about violence.

"But, Governor of the Central Bank Gabriel Makhlouf today defended its offerings, telling TDs at an Oireachtas Committee that the UN’s Genocide Convention applies only to the Irish State, not the country’s banking regulator." What an incredible argument to give in your own defense

Ireland has opinions

"She was also Gaza’s youngest influencer, offering practical survival tips for daily life under bombardment, such as advice on how to cook with improvised methods when there was no gas. 'I try to bring a bit of joy to the other children so that they can forget the war. '”

Why is it that road safety campaigns so often emphasise high-vis & helmets, yet rarely directly address the dangerous design of vehicles — especially the height & bluntness of "SUV" bonnets that put pedestrians, particularly children, at far greater risk? www.lshtm.ac.uk/newsevents/n...

I have NEVER seen twins do this to this level. Is this even real?

SORRY. Sorry. Have we seen this *incredible* news video coming out of Queensland? Wait for the witness/witnesses statement

Paedophiles are ostracised in other disciplines: Polanski, Glitter, Gill etc), so why does architecture, from Instagram to academia, still laud Adolf Loos, convicted of the sexual abuse of an 8yr old? Architecture's master/slave ideology? Or are architects just a bit more immoral?

Hallelujah! Christ is woke.

Children are 8 times more likely to die if hit by a SUV. Sales have tripled in recent years. Wealthy people are generally 'nice' people and all, but, Christ you'd despair for humanity. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Your mention of wit makes me think of Lutyens. I suppose he was more or less given a blank cheque and told to enjoy himself. This plan is symmetrical on the outside (that itself was a choice) and full of ingenious solutions to self-imposed problems on the inside.

A warning for Ireland, where some parents also make use of public monies to segregate their own privileged children from others. www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.” The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

This incredible speech : We will not go back to the margins!” - Carla Antonelli, of the Spanish leftist party Sumar 🏳️‍⚧️ part 1

This Koh I Noor clutch pencil appeared briefly in The Brutalist film. However, Koh I Noor's 1st mechanically propelled pencil, the 'Versatil' was prepared technically during WWII, but not produced until the end of the War. This slimmer style from the movie was produced later still. Great film tho'.
