Trump is going to come back saying he won a deal to build more bases in Greenland and put more troops there. He'll frame this as a massice success. But the USA can already do exactly that under existing agreements. 🙄 But it won't matter, his base will think he's amazing.

So turns out, everyone in the EU won a Nobel Peace Prize back in 2012. One more then Trump will ever win.🤪

Its a little rainy this morning, the puddles are bigger then usual 😂 My feet still didn't get wet though.

Time for the Irish government to do the same

Cllr says road is unsafe because people break the law and won't obey the speed limit as the lower speed limit has made the road more dangerous. So he wants it reviewed. The road isn't dangerous, the speed limit isn't, its the law breakers that are. He should want speed cameras.

Idiotic Cllr's want bye-laws in Waterford because the Cllr's fear e-scooters when they should be upset with Gardai not enforcing existing legislation that covers inproper/illegal use.

An Irish delegation cannot possibly attend the white house for St Patricks day when faced with this behaviour and so much more. Undermining and attacking our neighbours is wrong on so many levels.

There is no valid reason why any company, government department, TD or Cllr should be on twitter.

Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff. Game on.

Re people still on X -- I'm surprised by some people, less so by others. But why is anybody with any self respect still active on a platform which had a feature which could generate images undressing people without their permission and -- at best -- as a side effect, generate child abuse image?

Everyone should apparently play a part, but the mayor only focuses on cyclists, e scooter riders and pedestrians. Totally ignoring motorists who are the biggest killers.

“Selling a machine that can go at a speed in excess of what is allowable is a huge anomaly” Seán Canney, Minister of State for Road Safety 👏👏 hear, hear Oh wait, that was for e-scooters. Where are these calls when it comes to private motor vehicles?

Terribly uncanny how relevant this is to today.

He apologised but yet gave a story to try justify why he was speeding, unless there's a very serious immediate medical emergency there is no excuse. He should be stripped of his justice committee position straight away. RTE news : FF TD detected at 190km/h convicted of dangerous driving

Another advantage of bicycle commuting - the kids can get out and run home from school if they need to get some energy out.

Bluesky going to work over on Twitter

Ebike battery died on way home this afternoon, nothing like cycling a 45kg cargo bike up a hill without electric assist to make you tired 🥵😜😅

Across the country, how many motorists break the speed limit when they are unimpeded by congestion etc? I have data, I'm just looking for views first...

Many streets in the Netherlands once looked like those in the UK today. What matters is what happened next. Hoogeveen shows this clearly: a car-dominated main road in 2019, upgraded by 2024 with cycle tracks. Dutch roads are continuously improved to make cycling safer & neighbourhoods more pleasant

Here's a crazy idea, we should hide the speed cameras. There's no valid reason why they shouldn't be.

It seems the people of Greenland are culturally incompatible with the USA, they value life more. Many Greenlandic people, Korneliussen says, have guns, so people could try to defend themselves. “But at the same time we are not that type of people to go kill one another.”

I am utterly ashamed that a Kilkenny man designed the white house and that its name is being used in this way.

seems nobody in the USA needs clean air.

Judge who called cyclists "a nightmare" was convicted and fined for refusing take a breathalyser. Should he be making judgements about road traffic offences? www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/co...

When people ask: But what is China doing?

Shameful for anyone that would support the company, utterly shameful.

Best use of a car parking spot. 🐶

If you don't count the people that die do they really die?

I'm sure this is nothing to worry about and won't result in water issues in the future...

Always interesting that wind farm developments bring out people who claim to be concerned about wildlife. Yet the areas they claim are natural are anything but, more or then not argi fields, Coillte plantations etc This dev in Ballyfasy is no different, full of plantations.

Destroyed our history to build their offices and now they don't even want the offices. What a joke.

Very stupid farmers who think Ireland can prosper more by leaving the EU. They've learned nothing from seeing what happened to farmers in the UK 🙄

The Bridge. Creative developed with @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

“Selling a machine that can go at a speed in excess of what is allowable is a huge anomaly,” - Minister of State for Road Safety Seán Canney What until he finds out how fast cars can go above the allowed limit! 🙄

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Driver Perfectly Describes Pedestrian They Couldn't See.

A question to ask, does your local TD, Cllr or their political party have user accounts on a website that allows its users to create sexualised images of children and women without their consent?

Youth Independent Mobility should really be a key metric in a city's success. We all win.

New brooks saddle looks good

Investing billions into invading another country and drilling for oil seems foolish when the market is about to get smaller. It's like investing in blacksmiths at the dawn of the age of the motorcar.

Ring your TDs and leave a message asking them to leave X. The script is simple: You are a constituent, by posting on X your representative is supporting a company which deliberately set out to promote image based abuse, and this is unacceptable. (You can also mention Musk's support of Dublin riots.)

My word. The Taoiseach, in China, says "platforms can be misused and abused or they can be used for positive reasons as well..." and says that should be considered carefully "before jumping to conclusions" on whether it's appropriate for the Government to be on X.

Lovely simple and no plastic packaging on my new brooks saddle, well designed.

The U-turns on road safety by this government would make your head spin. Lower default speed limits, RSA reform and red light camera pilot all abandoned while deaths and serious injuries are rising. independent.ie/opinion/comm...

ICE are now murdering American Citizens. There was no need to shoot this person.

USA can buy it for 100 quadrillion dollars.

When I bought my Bakfiets Cruiser back in 2022 I made the stupid decision to downgrade from a Brooks saddle to save money. Now I find myself upgrading to one as the one I choose instead has a annoying habit of obsorbing water when it rains and soaking me when I sit on it!!
