Speaking of, why didn't 3D printers get this much attention? It's something that's actually really cool that has practical applications. Is it because they're too cool and useful? Is it because it's harder to scam people with them?

Happy radiator season, to all who celebrate archive.org/details/Radi...

One last note: about every six months I remember the Finnish dish cabinet exists and I get irrationally angry this isn't a mainstay of US culture and I'm not sure how or why, but I blame the patriarchy. They are cabinets above the kitchen sink that drain directly into the kitchen sink.

So yes, I think these men have no use for other humans - they wouldn't be so obsessed with robots if they did - and they want to eliminate creative work. But the other half of "why can't they make labor easier" is they don't do a lot of that labor. They invented the roomba and called it a day.

In theory the kitchen should be the easiest space on the planet to clean and it's not because it's designed by men who don't use kitchens. That's it. Don't get me started on how if I'm not careful my fish slips into a corner of my freezer that requires me to remove the freezer basket to reach

I mean we can talk about the way these tech billionaires have scrambled eggs for brains, but I'm going to talk about something else: kitchenware. I like to play this game called "how hard is it to clean" and so much kitchen shit is hard to clean.

Have been asked if I wrote this headline for RTÉ, no, but my compliments to the sub-editor.

Portrait of Vaelus, Ashley Johnson’s mysterious character from Critical Role Campaign 4. Tried to reflect her calm menace and the unsettling elegance that surrounds her. #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanart #Vaelus #DnDArt #TTRPGArt #InkArt #FantasyArt

Heelal (they/them)🦄✨ I created a this character a while ago and them never introduced them😔 They are a tiefling light cleric I did for a campaign. #tiefling #ocs #ocart #dndart #ocsky #dndoc

Grand rhetoric isn't enough and making targets isn't enough. Climate leadership requires being willing to challenge the power of polluting industries. That doesn't have to be divisive, but certainly will be as the government still drags its feet.

He also said: "As Leaders, we must lead. Our citizens will become increasingly cynical, weary and hopeless if words are not urgently matched by deeds; if commitments do not generate new realities."

Contrast this with the speech made by Micheal Martin at COP27, where he said: "If this generation doesn’t step up urgently, future generations will not forgive us. As leaders, it is our responsibility to drive the transformation necessary."

I'm now primarily an analogue cyclist, but I wouldn't be if I hadn't gotten an e-bike. They're great and more should be done to get more people on them.

Post a mage!

The Taoiseach creates a false choice here. Climate Action is about making life better, making energy cheaper, making our atmosphere cleaner. But that requires leadership. We see none from this Government.

It's also not "just another" extinction, it's the first from mainland Europe in centuries. CENTURIES. And there will be others within our lifetime. That's biodiversity loss. We'll never hear this sound, ever again xeno-canto.org/398794

Well, it's official. After our paper last year (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....), the Slender-billed Curlew is officially declared Extinct today. Scientists dream of describing new species, not writing their obituary and epitaph, knowing that they are gone forever #ornithology

As a birder this breaks my heart. As a citizen of this extraordinary planet, this breaks my soul.

Micheál Martin raises the white flag on achieving our climate targets 🏳️ A Government with no leadership, no ambition and no ideas.

These aren’t offhand remarks. They’re a pattern. They minimise. Mock. Downplay. Delay. Ignore. The climate crisis is here. The question is: will our leaders wake up before it’s too late.

Ráflaí faoi Catherine Connolly....

Dúirt cara liom gur chuala sé óna chol ceathrar go roghnaíonn Catherine Connolly gluaisrothar i Mariokart.

But most of the milk and meat and meat is for export. Ireland only eats a teeny percentage of what is produced here

In addition to being totally pathetic, he's also completely wrong. EPA polls consistently show that the vast majority, across all ages, incomes , urban or rural, all want the government to take action. So by polarising, he must mean that Micheal o Leary,Amazon, and Tirlan don't want it

Naoise's brother is asking Irish people to please contact the government #Speirgorm

Pretty good sign that the work is both impactful and effectively communicated.

"Climate change is too polarising anyway Mr Billionaire here's why war is good and public participation is bad"

i'll tell you what's going to be "polarising" – crop losses, coastal flooding, more destruction and extended blackouts like storm éowyn

“I don’t think we can mitigate for climate change,” he said. The fact that we are stuck with politically beige leaders like this is so demoralising. WE ARE FACING A CRISIS THAT COULD DESTROY OUR COUNTRY. STEP UP, YOU FUCKERS. SHOW SOME FUCKING LEADERSHIP. www.independent.ie/business/tec...

Someone ring Micheál Martin pronto and explain the concept of a 'just transition'.

In 67AD the Emperor Nero entered as a competitor to the Olympic Games. He competed in a number of events, most of which he had made up, and then declared himself the winner of each.

You cannot negotiate with climate change, and it doesn't give a fuck about tour feelings, or your ratings. Just come out and say you don't have the courage to do what needs to be done, nor the skill to convince voters of it.

So bloody useless

Some things I saw recently that I think are cool (Native American jewelry edition): — Neil Zarama. New Ralph Lauren collab coming (IG whirlinglog_and_arrow) — Troy Oviedo (IG troyoviedo) 😮‍💨 — Falcon Trading Company (IG ftcjewelry) — Samuel Sumpter (IG nabaahii_bizhiil_creations)

Thank you @catherinegalway.bsky.social for visiting Dundrum straight after the RTÉ debate this evening and to the Rathdown4Connolly team for organising. And for taking the time to speak with every child who wanted a moment and a photo with the next president of Ireland. 1/2 #Áras25 #speirgorm

I would like to remind Fine Gael politicians that arguably the most corrupt politician in the history of the state, possibly Europe, is currently a member of your coalition government

Yep, we're really only wondering about the margin by which she'll beat HH at this stage. Connolly could call Marty Whelan a prick or say she hates crisps, she'd still come out of it more popular than her rival.

Deafening applause as Zack Polanski tells Zia Yusuf that people's concern over immigration is because he spends all his time spreading misinformation and fear. #bbcqt

remembering the time my manager said a corny joke on a work call, and no one laughed, and I tried to reassure him by saying, “oh, hey, it’s ok. sometimes, I make jokes that aren’t funny, too.” and everyone laughed really hard at that.

A parent who parked his Audi on our school's open street yelled at me after I politely asked him to move his car just a little from where the students would come out. "You people are so entitled!" It was the dad of a kid who is in my son's class. We know each other and have seen each other socially!

These are, I dunno, worse than I thought they would be

Am teaching primary school ids cycling today AND saw some street art happening as I took them out. It’s like the dream!

Hell yeah. Great response from DC, and exactly what every major publisher should be saying.

Fine Gael’s Heather Humphreys has avoided a property tax on her old constituency office after failing to declare she’s no longer entitled to an exemption. For failing to make this declaration Humphreys could face criminal prosecution. www.ontheditch.com/fine-gaels-h...

But will she learn Ulster Scots if she becomes President?

I find it baffling how little impact the existence of the Undertaker, a literal walking corpse, has had on science and religion
