We have completely normalised investment in congestion, pollution and the continuation of car-first planning, says @ciarancannon.bsky.social www.thejournal.ie/readme/bike-... #cycling

Preventing an aid convoy from reaching starving people is a crime against humanity. There is no conceivable justification for such a blatant, brazen act of evil.

Honestly, I find it pretty distasteful that prisoner rehabilitation - a very bog standard liberal value, not even an especially radical one - can be very easily thrown out the window by the likes of Michéal Martin for the sake of cheap politicial point-scoring. www.thejournal.ie/catherine-co...

Earth lost a conservationist and scientist like no other, and I am saddened profoundly by this news. Dr. Jane Goodall changed lives and attitudes about conservation and respect for nature wherever she went. A gifted leader in every way. www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl... 🧪

30 September 1928 | Elie Wiesel was born in Romania. A Jewish writer, Auschwitz & Buchenwald survivor, Peace Nobel Prize laureate. "Indifference is the epitome of evil." / „We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."

So exhausting..

Is this a record? #tfi

“We’ve reduced the world to them and us. We’re really back to that: them and us. We’re back to you’re with us or agin us. And it’s frightening, actually, to watch it on a daily basis.” - @catherinegalway.bsky.social #Spéirghorm www.ontheditch.com/catherine-co...

Charges dropped against Liam Óg O'Hannaidh of @kneecapceol.bsky.social it seems, what a lot of noise and fuss the British government has made to achieve nothing except embarrass themselves.

I mean, try issuing something called a Brit Card to most of the population of Derry. Go on, I fucking dare you.

isn’t British control of a mandate in Palestine WHAT LANDED US IN THIS MESS IN THE FIRST FUCKING PLACE

Found this beautiful @janeclarke.bsky.social poem in Poets Lane way Roscommon today. Look forward to meeting her in N9vember with @marjorielotfi.bsky.social retreat in Scotland.

“Four days after Russia started a war, they were suspended,” Cantona said. “We are now over 700 days into what Amnesty International has called a genocide, and yet Israel continues to play.” morningstaronline.co.uk/article/cant...

Call this shit out immediately and shut it the fuck down. Show them that we don't operate on the US/UK rules where you can say any old bollocks without consequences. It's the only thing that will stop them getting a foothold.

People who deny a genocide is being committed by Israel against Palestinians should be treated with the same disdain we treat people who deny the Ruanda and Srebrenica genocides

Robert Redford wasn’t just a great actor. He used his profile to help others. From environmentalism, Native American rights, LGBTQ advocacy, and independent film, he cared deeply about people, and preserving their culture and world.

A bit late to this I know but damn. www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

Asking the Irish government and state agencies to immediately close their X accounts. Continued use of a fascist agitator's social media site is both incompatible with democratic values and immoral.

Professor Nick Maynard, consultant in internal medicine, reports on the dreadful medical situation in Gaza. Israeli border guards seized infant formula from is fellow Doctors entering the genocide scene that is Gaza. Children died unnecessary as a result. #Gaza #Cork

Life in #Gaza: 🚨Over 700 days of war 🚨Families forcibly displaced 🚨Not enough food, shelter, sanitation 🚨Nowhere is safe The Israeli Authorities continue to ban UNRWA aid supplies from entering. Political will is needed to end this and lift the siege. #CeasefireNow

In Ireland, we have a choice: to allow the loss of nature to continue, or to ensure that future generations witness a resurgence of the natural world. 🌱 My piece in the Journal this morning.

@irishexaminer.bsky.social you’ve got me stumped today

Those of us who remember dial-up modems already know the sound of two computers talking to one another

Extraordinary story. The Matthew is still gently rusting away up at Marino. Point. I pass it on my commute every day

Very good long thread

Many things are challenging right now, but here's a country that is taking the food/agriculture/nature/climate challenge problem very seriously and turning from not only policy development but early implementation with farmers, government, & environmentalists. Go Denmark! www.wri.org/insights/den...

Someone you know IRL showing you something they used AI to make or do feels like a someone trying to impress you with a dead rodent that's been run over by a car. This is not good what do you expect me to do with it

🧵 I was a Zionist a few years ago - Here’s the full story When I was young I proudly raised the Israeli flag, so I want to talk a little bit about what happened since then I grew up learning that Israel is "surrounded by enemies" so it’s a miracle we got to survive that we must serve in (1/8)

Not if the Office of Public Works get near them…#cork

For all the years that Linehan had been *obsessively* targeting trans people (such that he’s been in court over it, he’s been warned be police over it, he’s lost his career and family over it…) the media have never shown *any* interest in speaking to his victims. None. Zero. They simply don’t care

Ok its ‘feed it off an aux, speak, grunt no strength, the ladder start to clatter with fear fight down height, wire in a fire representing seven games, a government for hire and a combat site’.

It will be a merry Christmas after all www.irishexaminer.com/news/politic...

I saw a web developer saying, "So, all my client needs to be able to replace me with AI is to be able to clearly and concisely write down exactly what he needs? OK then I don't need to worry."

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

Those of us in our 49s & 50s would want to start paying attention too, the Bertie's & brown envelopes are why our adult children can't leave home, college going means debt or long commutes, 2nd lvl & primary kids are in overcrowded schools or bussed out of town Yeah, they hurt me #speirgorm

The German police brutally assault an Irish woman protesting against Israel's genocide. The German state is a disgrace. It committed genocide against the Jewish people - far from its only genocide. It forced Palestinians to pay the price, viciously silencing anyone who objects

CMAT did a Celtic Tiger style photo call on Stephen’s Green for the launch of Euro Country! With Marty Whelan. Iconic.

EU climate boss @wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu warns the Gulf Stream could collapse in our lifetime He says "progress takes time" – well, it also takes serious political will The EU Commission’s planned climate target for 2040 falls short of what its own climate scientists advise – that doesn't help
