Just for interest, a video about Dublin Metro. www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_Jz... @irishcycle.com @olaln.bsky.social @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social

With the war of aggression in Iran & the blackade of the strait of Hormuz, it's likely that we'll have effects on our energy prices. Ireland is an outlier in Europe in being so dependent on imports so we'll suffer much more than other countries in the EU. However, watch as some nutters will...

FFG are never not at it. "A Fine Gael TD has said she would like to see a cost-benefit analysis of active travel spending to see if the investment in the infrastructure is paying off" Never any Qs about funding for car-infra. G0bsh1tes www.rte.ie/news/dublin/...

If I'm out walking or cycling & given the option meeting of an oversized vehicle driven by a typical driver, or a bear. I choose the bear.

How's the Epstein war going? How many innocent people have been killed or horrifically injured thus far? How many US service-personel have commited war crimes by following illegal orders?

Random moment in Dublin. Last day of February 2026.

I must be living in the reality where articles from the Onion become reality. Apparently when Israel aggressively attacks another nation, it's labelled a preventative attack. I guess the Russian invasions of Poland & Finland in 1939 were also preventative?

I hear that Trump will supposedly be giving the state of the union later today. However, with a criminal, rapist, scumbag giving the speech, it should be called the STAIN on the Union.

The commenters on FB are insane. I just saw an important post about the loss of ring-forts, standing stones etc over recent generations due to modern farming practices. One commenter claims otherwise. It's not due to farming... it's due to all those goddamn cycle-lanes they've built, apparently...

Now that the former prince has been arrested for misconduct in public office, they had better bloody arrest Boris for the same offence.

Random moment in Dublin. Stars over a tree-lined avenue. The avenue is approx 1.5km long & lined by Holm Oak, Black/Austrian Pine & Monterey Pine.

Feck-me, there are literally more photos of Trump with Epstein than me with my dog. My dog & me are together all day, every day. He goes to work with me, the only holidays I go on are camping trips, & we go on them together. & there are still more photos of Trump with pedophile Epstein.

How was there not a rain warning for Dublin today. It was relentless all day. The commute to & from work was horrible. It's still pouring down. www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0Y9...

Random moment in Dublin. February evening on the River Liffey.

Random moment with Raven. Another sopping wet day going to work.

I sick to the teeth of everything being about profit. These environments should be protected. The coastlines & littoral zones 'belong' to all of us. I say protect it from human destruction/impact.

Random moment in Dublin. Constant drizzle makes for a hazy evening.

Random moment with Raven. Squall approaching over the lake in the evening fading light.

Random moment with Raven. Dark clouds over the bay.

Random moment with Raven. Among the trees.

Mark Kermode loves film. He's given his life to it. In this review of the travesty 'Melania' you can feel his pain as he decribes the experience of watching it. A fantastic review for all sorts of reasons. @americanfietser.bsky.social @boulderopafiets.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTyU...

Random moment with Raven. Moonlight over the bay.

Last year the Gardai announced a grand new plan for checks & enforcement around illegal scooter, e-motorbikes etc. I expressed my skepticism. Does anyone know, have the Gardai any data on the numbers of checks they've carried out, where & when they did any checks, how many individual people/bikes

Epstein files. Who the fuk is taking all these photos. Ex-prince Andrew, on the floor over a young girl - who took that photo? Photos of Epstein & Chomsky - who took that photo, & why? I take a LOT of photos for work & a hobby, & I'm left with the impression that a lot of these photos.....

Tulsi Gabbard is now 'investigating' the Georgia election results from 2019. She'll declare that Trump actually won & hence Biden wasn't actually the president. That means Biden won't have presidental immunity &, just as important for Trump, Biden's son Hunter didn't get a presidental pardon.

NASA is planning to go back to the moon. Unfortunately this means that under the Trump regime it looks like the nazis are finally going to get their moon base after all.

Random moment with Raven. Sunshine through the window.

Random moment with Raven. A walk on the beach.

It seems that the US is in actuality where hell is, and hell has frozen over. This is the only logical explanation for why leftists are now championing 2a rights, and righties are suddenly against 2a rights. WTF is happening!?

Random moment in Dublin. Cycling to work during Storm Chandra. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ts_L...

Random moment with Raven. Ursa Major & Canis Minor.

Like day follows night, after the flooding today, local TDs & Cllrs will be making renewed calls to dredge yet more rivers. Of course they'll just be making future floods even worse, but it's all about short-termism, maintaining the status quo, and been seen to do something.

1/x I came upon this scene soon after it had happened. It's on my way to work. For someone driving & turning here not to have seen a person crossing, signifies something beyond a "momentary lapse of concentration" www.rte.ie/news/regiona...

Yet again we have more BS calls for people on bikes to have manditory HiViz & plastic hats. Meanwhile in the real world the actual threat comes from drivers. This guy was looking at his phone as he blindly followed the car in front of him across a segregated cycle-lane.

Calling all chem-trail conspiracy theorists!

Good. I'd like to see the same here. And some repercusions for food delivery companies that exploit foreign workers using these & similar. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Random moment with Raven. Someone head a mouse in the underbrush an is now in mid-sproing.

Random moment with Raven. On the way home at night. At the sea-wall.

There have been many many times that someone has nearly hit me with their car due to either deliberate assh0lery or just sh1tty driving skills, & I use 'bad words' to express my anger & shock, & they then respond with pearl clutching & how it's unacceptable to use 'bad words' FUK U ASSH0LES.

Well, well, well. It seems that Nazis weren't hiding in a base on the far side of the moon. The conspiracy theorists were wrong about that. However, the Nazis were still with us. It's just that they were in the USA all along.

Random moment in Dublin. January morning.

Random moment with Raven. An early morning walk along the cliffs to see & hear the cliff-nesting bird colonies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACSF...

ICE-US vs ISIS One group speaks Murican.

This looks promising. I hope they bring in a pay-per-mile for all of Ireland, not just all of Dublin. However, the push back on things that save lives, such as cameras on traffic lights & more speed cameras, doesn't bode well for plans to curb car use.

Having a bottle return right beside a cycle-route is & was always a dumb-as-fuk idea. People often smash the bottles deliberately on the cycle-route. I guess Bcoz they think it's hilarious.

View from the boat.

Random moment with Raven. Frosty January night, at the witching hour, under a full wolf moon, overlooking the sea.

Random moment in Dublin. Two Hooded Crows engaged in some anting behavior. From June 2025. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFqz...
