I dunno if it's a controversial opinion, but I think a lot of green lights for pedestrians could be amber lights for bicycles

I've been to some countries where people live under military rule or autocracy. And without fail, one of the questions I get when they ask about life in the U.S. is whether it's true that Americans just let homeless people die on the street.

Dublin (AP) - Leader of Irish Progressive Community & Media Bluesky supercluster calls on Keir Starmer to resign, piling pressure on embattled British prime minister

A brilliant 90 seconds. Check out the split screen of horror 1 min in.

Most Londoners have no idea how involved the cops are in urban design. The cops said that local gangs were hiding drugs in the flowers, by which they mean there were brown people hanging out there, so a park now looks like this. Vid www.instagram.com/reel/DUJRDNJ...

You: I have some bad news about the five-a-side tournament. The rest of your five-a-side team, who are all Australian:

The Court noticed the inaccurate documents submitted by ICE, the fact that he has no criminal record and had paid his release bond, but ultimately sided with the government and keeps him detained. This isn’t a Trump problem - he’s a symptom of the disease, that place is systemically putrid.

That bsky map showing the Venn diagram between Brazilian furry art & Blackburn Robers fans is basically a circle? Can't say that was anticipated

To keep it on brand, they should honour him with a parade of homeless children. Since FG came to power we now have 5000 of them - 50 for each year. www.thejournal.ie/fine-gael-su...

How the f*ck have we allowed evictions to reach a similar level to 1850s 100 yrs after independence we are back in worst period of our colonial history, when record numbers had to flee Ireland Have no mistake this is down to successive government policy Piece: @unamullally.bsky.social Art: ffud.art

Planning to visit the USA for business or as a tourist? You must be crazy.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

ChatGPT: Sneaky little hobbitses, wicked, tricksy, false. Sméagol: No, not master...Master’s my friend. ChatGPT: You're right. I see where the confusion comes from. Thanks for pointing it out. There is indeed only one wicked,tricksy, false hobbit.

One of the easiest ways to shoot down the idea that "AI" is an expert is to show how it deals with something people know about. Younger readers may not get this as most appliances come pre-wired, but anyone 35+ can see these are chaotic fire hazards. From Mastodon, AI asked how to wire a plug:

the thing i'm waiting for with the ai romance novel lady is for another scammer to figure out that purely ai-generated material w no human authorship is generally not considered to be protected by copyright in the US rn, and saving themselves the 45 mins per book by reselling hers

Nerve as well as lung damage is caused by air pollution. Reduce brake dust, diesel fumes and PM2.5s! And monitor those hot spots in Dublin!

I hope, for their sake, that these are paid protestors.

Apologies to anyone from Dundalk, but I do not think about it enough to be ashamed of it.

Never Forget

"I am just a little Taoiseach, you wouldn't hit me? You wouldn't hit me on today, my birthday? *puts on spectacles* You wouldn't wouldn't hit little Taoiseach birthday boy who is wearing spectacles?".

this is genuinely incredible

Gettin' comfy

I, honestly, am always so baffled when businesses claim their trade will be negatively affected by pedestrianisation. It. Makes. No. Sense. But good to see studies proving it

Kids can't hang out in parks. They can't hang out at the mall. They don't have 3rd spaces because no one wants kids around and then we are surprised when they rely on SM for connection. If you take that away, what do they have left?

Wow, NBC edited out the audience booing JD Vance at the Olympics. And this is one of the few remaining news outlets NOT owned by right-wing billionaire Trump sycophants www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Irish media, international news: OMG Farage! Musk! 😭 “Populism” everywhere 😤 Irish media domestic news: let’s get Declan Ganley on again to say our democracy is corrupt and country overrun by immigrants. Oh and John Collison to tell us how to run the state as a techbro enterprise.

How do people think we can host World Cup matches here?

i kneeled to take a sweet pic of her with her eyes closed and facing the sun and instead i instantly got a whole serving of stanley kubrick shit from someone who’s afraid of shadows, plastic bags, shoes, and her own tail.

Steamed Hams but it's a Kelly comic (Yup that's right I still make "Steamed Hams but..." memes) #simpsons #kelly #steamedhams

The most significant thing about today's IT poll is that 45% of people still want to retain the Triple Lock despite the ridiculously loaded and distorted question and months of Government and media disinformation. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

🗣️MORE. 🗣️WOMEN. 🗣️PEDOPHILES.

I’m generally against parents using their children for content on social media but I have decided I will make exactly one exception

LOL.... i wanted to hear JD getting booed at the Olympics and when i searched for it on YouTube i got this

Hang on folks, that looks like a perfect transit plan for the Independent Socialist Republic Of Ireland, Scotland, A Balearic Wales and Liberated North.

The thing about the UK to Ireland megaloop train isn't that it's a stupid idea (even though practically it is) it's that there is more oxygen given to that than practical rail projects. And it makes any rail project seem stupid and impossible by association.

Today‘s walk. One of a few toppled trees in Phoenix Park People’s Park, Dublin.

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

Her range is unstoppable

Can we get a train from Waterford to Cork that doesn't need to go to Limerick or Dublin first. Can we get a train that goes from Sligo to Galway without going through Dublin first. Can we get a train that goes to Donegal first.

the Spectator accidentally recycled a subhed from a previous day’s article about Tehran

The "hi viz" brigade in the Dáil and press have all travelled in Europe. They know right well that it's bollix.
