It feels really good to dunk on those Bitcoin fools. They were so unbearably obnoxious and smug for so long. If you lost your shirt and you weren't a jerk, I'm sorry. But for the rest of ya's:

We are dealing with a serious incident at the junction of Talbot Street and North Earl Street. We are asking the public to please avoid the area. As ever, we are asking people to avoid sharing images of the scene.

I was wearing hi vis when a motorist drove into me. Passengers in the car got out to tell me the driver was really upset because she didn't see me. I didn't have much sympathy as I was picking gravel out of my hands. I was visible. She didn't look.

And there we have it folks, having failed to do anything to halt the injury and death toll on our roads the government now plans to criminalise cycling. This will kill bike share schemes around the country.

Oh well! To host the last game, the Irish gov spent €4.2m on a licence fee to the NFL, and another €5m on infrastructure and “operational costs”. DCC spent €350,000. Imagine if that money was spent on local sporting initiatives? A lot of kids in Dublin City don’t even have a pitch to play on.

All vehicles should have speed governors. This chud shouldn’t have had access to a vehicle capable of such speed. There is no need. His parents failed as well. Boys who have nothing else going for them but “I can drive a car! I can drive a car fast!”

Two years of pavement parking ban in Edinburgh and the sky has not fallen. Drivers have changed their behaviour. This makes a big difference to parents with biggies and people who use wheelchairs. Would be great to see this in Dublin.

In these trying times, please think of the truly persecuted—Bay Area hippie boomers who, after decades of seeing their 401ks and property values sky rocket—now must search for a parking spot. 🎵 How many roads must a man drive down, before he can find where to park? 🎵

Had a pretty convincing scam call from a lady pretending to be from my mobile operator. Said there was a Jan promotion of 20% off — did I want in? And if so, I’d get a six digit code texted to me. Which immediately came (from my real operator’s SMS)… (—> cont’d)
