When you see someone talking about how the economy is fine remember 10 American-based billionaires have the same amount of wealth as 4 billion people and move on with your day. Someone fixating on a couple of bucks in wage increases is being intentionally obtuse.

Obstructing bike lanes poses a large danger for bicyclists, skateboarders, scooter riders & and wheel chair users like the one shown. When a bike lane is obstructed it forces people to exit the bike lane into faster moving traffic that is not expecting them. This action has proven to be deadly…

The time has never been better to put all your money into NFTs.

Interesting to note the major exception: Ireland, where native red squirrels are *gaining* ground at the expense of invasive American greys. How? The come back of another native mammal, this one a predator: the pine marten. Making ecosystems functional again is the best cure for invasive species.

Lilly Wachowski cleared out the rest of my rent goal and I actually had to keep myself from crying. We'll be able to make rent and have a little leftover until my spouse gets paid again on the day of my initial neurosurgery appointment. I cannot thank you all enough. All my love to you beauties 💖

Seems like sensible things to spend money on for a sexual health program. If they spent €750k on bicycles or fidget spinners as part of a sexual health programme that wouldn't be much use.

At least two pedestrians knocked down in Cork today by motorists & a person on a bike killed by a motorist in Dublin. Yet the spinmasters in media keep spinning that bicycles & ebikes are the problem. 3 months into 2026 & already 41 people dead on the roads.

Getting chokemogged and no longer oxygenmaxxing

No this is not an April Fools Day joke. No this is not AI. They really did this.

The only good April Fools joke was when a library posted a headline saying “Study Shows Literacy Problems BC People Reply To Articles They Didn’t Read” When you clicked the link “lol April Fools there is no article. Tell no one” Then people who had not clicked the link argued about literacy all day.

I'm asking the tough theological questions this Easter.

A council spokesperson said: “We now accept that we don’t know better than the Dutch at how to design cycle routes. We will now look to follow best international practices with some rather than using convoluted junction design, which poorly serves all road users.”

Irish govt announcements for everything from housing to energy to healthcare:

*screaming wildly* AND WHOS BEEN IN GOVERNMENT SINCE THE 1920'S EH BILLY BOY??!!

i appear to have asked a question akin to "how do Rebel Alliance schoolteachers feel about Darth Vader?"

A children's cartoon depicts him being chased by wolves off a cliff to his death. It's a happy ending

Ok, I'm no expert on Cromwell, but it is my understanding that he installed himself as "Lord protector of the realm" and was succeeded (briefly, tbf) by his son. Why British Republicans insist his form of rule was distinct from a hereditary monarchy is beyond me.

*Mikkelsen Hannibal Lector voice* and do you believe, Will, that it was someone else who pissed your pants? would another man do that? would a woman? which woman do you think pissed your pants, Will?

I think the switch being flicked in my head that killed most of April Fools for me was just the quiet realisation that 90+% of it is just fucking advertising

When it comes to AI, we are told we must abandon the past, look to the future and suffer what costs we must as it is inevitable. When it comes to green energy we are told we must not be too hasty to adopt technology, and we should hold onto fossil fuels which *are* dying.

I don't know that I fully agree with the "covid made everyone a bad driver" narrative, but I've noticed way more red light breaking in the last few years than I ever did before.

“Cars continue through that crossing while children are trying to cross” There is a need to address "lethal" conditions for school children in a Dublin suburb as motorists speed through the area with schools and make turns across red lights with little regard for children crossing the road, two…

Treasury should just be honest and give a flat 'no' to more projects rather than wasting time and money with busywork. www.railmagazine.com/news/west-yo...

"No one has it all figured out" I do. So does everyone else. That's just something we say to make you feel better

Fun fact, most catholics get yelled at by the pope exactly zero times in their whole lives but Censures Georg here has managed it like five times in six years

As a people, I don’t get to decide. My employer gets to decide, and apparently it’s critical I sit in an office looking at the same screen I can look at at home

The magic number for average homebuyer age is 35. Once either partner is over 35 they will not get a 30 year mortgage from most banks. So every additional year saving for a deposit means a lower borrowable amount. It's OK to call this a crisis.

Irony was killed stone dead ages ago. But I suppose they can still piss on its grave.

Seven Sisters London Underground station is named after a ring of 7 elm trees that were planted over 400 years ago. The 7 trees have been replanted a number of times, always by 7 sisters. The current sisters are Hornbeam trees & were planted in 1997 by 5 families of 7 sisters.

This video has been brought to you by a County Goverment supported by car companys. Fantastic victim blaming. Also, how does a blind person make eye contact with motorists when crossing?

Multi-stage job interviews are an abuse of power and a cruel waste of jobseekers' time.

this is a place of honor. something extremely cool is buried here.

your grandparents voting for reagan

The CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) did a study from 2017-2023. They found 193 fatalities and 87,400 injuries related to ebikes. In the same period, there were roughly 280,000 traffic fatalities and 15 million injuries on our roads. But yeah, let's make more laws about bicycles. 1/

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

An underrated addendum to the Bowling Alone story is that North America's largest bowling operator (Bowlero) is a publicly traded company whose business model involves buying mom and pop alleys, shutting down the leagues, and trying to attract casual, higher paying, one-off players.

Surely the Mail should be in favour of countries cracking down on immigrants who break the law?

My grandparents were childhood sweethearts, 14&16 when they got together, and it's a funny story in our family that granny wouldn't marry him until he'd saved enough money to buy her a washing machine. She was right! She was sensible!

Long shot, but can any design-heads identify this typeface that was used in Official PlayStation 2 Magazine in the early 2000s?

This is very dumb. Energy units aren't more strained when being used at home. Also, I question whether offices *are* more efficient given they often have things like AC, lights on 24 hours a day whether anyone's there or not, etc.

Wow it’s crazy they just did that shit out of nowhere

"ok, so you've split the effects budget fairly between explosions and CGI right?" "Yeah, I think so."

For the record, this is the correct way to treat British people. They thrive on little humiliations like this. They crave it.

that’s quite a short flight, even for twenty five quid

while there are some merits in the novelty of this idea I don't think that speeding drivers should have the choice to have their penalty points waived, and I'm not fond of the notion of outsourcing justice to the kids we should be protecting
