Should I get an attribution here? I made a timeline of all the people in We Didn't Start the fire when Bridget Bardot passed away. It got popular and put in newspaper stories.

There’s going to be some great studies about how one of the core utilities of the internet, Something so ubiquitous that they became a universal verb, deliberately decided to ruin their core product for absolutely no reason whatsoever

African Access to Electricity. Improved version of my graph that's doing the rounds

Oh no! Wetherspoon has switched their wifi to an Irish ISP. I guess I'll have to find another way to watch the Balamory reboot.

if i was going to give a college commencement speech i would make sure to start with something the students could rally behind. something like "we will mechanically suck the youth from your bones to feed a mechanical eschaton, which my generation will use to climb heaven and become new gods"

Good to see Jennifer Whitmore TD (and some others) pushing the government hard to get plug-in (aka balcony) solar licensed here. You can buy them in Lidl (UK) for £400 so really daft that they are not allowed in Ireland yet.

Turns out, if you stop tearing up the seabed, wildlife thrives: ten years after banning bottom trawl fishing, there are 3 times the number of sea creatures + double the number of species in the South Arran MPA, Scotland, than there were before the ban 👏🦪🐟 share.google/2M5WqP3CXwSH...

Ever wondered whether there are more historical weather observations still sitting on paper for <insert country>? The answer is certainly yes. And, for observations taken by the British, many logbooks are now openly available thanks to UK Met Office: digital.nmla.metoffice.gov.uk/SO_380c734a-...

The oldest known Irish joke. John Scotus Eriugena (c. 815 – c. 877) The French king sat opposite him and asked. 'Quid distat inter sottum et Scottum?' (What separates a drunkard (sot) from an Irishman (and Scotchman)), Eriugena replied, 'Tabula tantum' (Only a Table).

Icelandic authorities just rerouted a planned hot water pipeline so as not to disturb an elf hill.

I am so sick of the criticism of the "designer" bicyle storage facility in Kerry Hospital. Lets have a look at these costs, understanding them is about reframing what was actually built, and comparing it fairly against the infrastructure society routinely accepts for cars. 1/
