This was going to air in the superbowl, but they couldn't afford the 8 million dollars for the 30 second ad. So, it's being shared on social media

Only a Quarter? You need to think bigger. Why not the Panti Half or The Panti Hole. Opps, sorry, I misspelled whole.

I spoke about the Government’s ridiculous proposal to criminalise cyclists who don’t wear helmets 🪖 The fact they even proposed this betrays their complete lack of understanding of what makes our roads unsafe for cyclists & pedestrians 🚗🚙 @labour.ie @dublincycling.bsky.social

Tánaiste contradicts Department of Transport, rules out mandatory helmets for bicycles, but leaves door open for “e-bikes” Despite an official Department of Transport response outlining that all bicycles are part of a plan for mandatory helmets and high-vis, Tánaiste Simon Harris has said in the…

The question isn't whether people should wear high-viz/helmets. People should wear whatever makes them feel safer. Question is whether mandatory high-viz/helmets is good public policy - it's not Protected lanes, safe junction design, more cyclists, and better driver behaviour are good public policy

FINALLY!

Why are we being subjected to the abysmal low resolution (1055 x 576) broadcast on @saorview.ie of the @sixnations-rugby.bsky.social by @virginmediaireland.bsky.social ?? It's 2026 - give us a break

Now we're talking! Hi-vis for everyone!

More like a DAFT plan!

Do cyclists and pedestrians really die on our roads because they “can’t be seen”? They’re generally killed because drivers don’t see them in time, are travelling too fast, or the road is designed unsafely. @newstalkfm.bsky.social #roadsafety www.newstalk.com/podcasts/cla...

Strange how the BBC, ITV or Channel 4 never hired him, for years RTÉ were terrified he’d be snapped up, hence the big wages to keep him

Grey and brown.. No swimming for what seems like weeks. AHH well. At least it's not raining... yet!

Ha! Why don't the Gardaí just enforce the laws that already exist instead of this b s.

Whatever the self-portrait tells you about its subject, it tells you something else too. Here's what the artist thought they were like. Here's how they wanted the world to see them. This is Peggy Fitzgerald from 1937.

Takeaway fish and chips for four people at Beshoffs in Howth - €70. Once again I come crashing against my mistaken belief that everything costs about a tenner.

Wow, imagine trying to steer this Milkman Amsterdam, 1953

putting age restrictions on social media rather than regulating the companies that provide it is like making vulnerable road users wear hi-vis vests rather than enforcing dangerous driving. age restrictions it'll be so

Thanks @johncreedon.bsky.social for the tunes tonight

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. @dccbeta.bsky.social @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social

Anniversary of a trauma that echoes down the years. What happens when you put government guns on the street, from Iran, to USA, to any number of massacres & atrocities against civilians down the years. As the world moves on, the families of Bloody Sunday innocent victims have to endure, resist

did a little experiment with two cars on our street the 5-year-old is 105cm (3' 5") in bare feet. she could clearly see the steering wheel of the toyota, couldn't even see the windscreen of the yank tank I asked her where they'd hit if they hit her: "the little one my tummy, the big one my head"

Coincidentally this is also the explanation of Irish housing policy since 2010 - if not earlier.

Whenever flooding hits, we hear in detail all about the wrecked homes, livelihoods, property, and related misery. But NEVER the major cause: that Ireland has been totally stripped of the native ecosystems like forest & bogs that would naturally have absorbed the water. share.google/aNF6Fg26wdmB...

We have a real problem with road safety in Ireland. If Sean Canney thinks it can be solved with high-vis vests, he is obviously incapable of doing his job.

MINNESOTA VERSION OF COME OUT YE BLACK AND TANS

Having rowed back on lowering speed limits and reforming the Road Safety Authority, Minister Canney is now doubling down on the RSA's failed policies by scapegoating the most vulnerable on the road instead of following evidence-based measures to make our roads safer. irishcycle.com/2026/01/23/c...

The images from Minneapolis are heavily redolent of those from Derry before Bloody Sunday. The logic of challenged militarism, faced with civilian resistance, is to increase the violence levels. That’s their one trick. Violence, or additional violence.

I ended up going down the "A change is gonna come" rabbit hole since @fiachnaobraonain.bsky.social featured it last night.. 62 years later we need this change more than ever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEBl...

For over 300 million years these fossilized Goniatites have remained hidden in the stone layers that make up the Cliffs of Moher. In more recent years, Atlantic waves have detached them from the cliff and polished them on the shore. "Aillte" available the TG4 player. www.tg4.ie/en/player/ca...

Back to the Baths! Low tide made it possible to have a quick baptism in the pool at the Vico Baths this morning instead of looking for a sheltered spot with the miserable Easterlies all week. Happy Friday
