If most people don't know that dumb ends with a b, how can we expect anyone to be smart enough to read scientific instruments? Total waste of money. #Idiocracy #brightfuture

What an absolute <nomnom> abomination, who comes up with <nomnom> stuff like this?!?

Took my first flight in years last month. I have work to blame for it and for the driving. Other than that, a regular month moving around.

Spanish electricity price today. Right now it's at €0.024/kWh. Neat.

I have been using DuckDuckGo for years as Google was getting up to all sorts. Going to try Qwant now and see how it goes.

Just LOOK at this fantastic handymanstation.co.uk urban steed 🤩 I asked the handyman if he likes riding it “I LOVE it!” Can he cross Hammersmith Bridge in it? “I do it all the time!”

Works on the Dublin Port Greenway are starting soon 😀. Meaning that the footpath and cycle lane on East Wall Road will be closed til early 2027 😩. Below is the suggested alternative route for cycling to reach the quays that involves turning down Sherriff St and North Wall Ave. 🚴

For people in the US considering buying an e-bike, this is an excellent bike at a very low price. electrek.co/2026/06/04/a...

Three things that I frequently worry about are the dominance of plastic in modern life, noise pollution and air quality. Many people don't seem to care about them, maybe they don't realize the impact it has on them? Here's some good info on indoor air quality www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...

This is so true. I never hired based on an interview compliance-type performance and, when on the other side of the table, never felt that the important information was being exchanged.

The future is happening, now. Just not here.

One of the two known videos of Jimi Hendrix playing acoustic (1967) - allegedly, the video was made after a photoshoot where the photographer brought him a special 12-string guitar, strung upside down to adapt to Jimi's left-handed playing.

Here's how you close a cycle lane for roadworks. Close a lane for cars to create a temporary cycle pane, install ramps so people on bikes can exit and re-enter the cycleway. 📍 Upper Thames Street, London

The other side of AI that we all seem to be missing,

It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Sonny Rollins. The Saxophone Colossus died this afternoon at his home in Woodstock, NY at the age of 95. 1/2

Note how the car has the same negative effect as the Internet when it comes to being human while purchasing an envelope.

Bicycles are hugely space efficient, which is why they make a lot of sense in congested cities. This video demonstrates why there aren’t traffic jams in bike lanes. Just imagine the traffic queues if every bicycle here was a car.

It's a race to see which one turns up in full first, and too close to call

There is one VAT rule that no point of sales software in the market can handle. It is called the two-third rule and how it applies to bike shops. Every bike shop in the country is either overpaying VAT, underpaying VAT or spending silly hours troubleshooting it. This is where the trouble comes from:

Siamo Tutti Antifascisti

This is the best cycling advert ever, especially because I’m in it. It beautifully shows that cycling is for everyone, no matter who you are or where you come from. Bikes bring people together and remind us that cycling is one of the best ways to improve our health and wellbeing.

“While Mayor, I was often asked ‘how have you been able to afford this in Copenhagen🇩🇰?’ I’d reply, ‘how have you been able to NOT afford it?’ 25 years ago we were a few days away from going bankrupt. So the city invested in the cheapest infrastructure..bicycling.”~ Morten Kabell

Maybe a controversial opinion, but since brexit, the only interesting thing happening in the UK is Banksy.

"US-Iran war adding up to €20,000 for homes" . But if bought through a mortgage that's about €33,000 extra in total repayments (25 y @ 4.5%) and if bought on taxed income, it can mean €66,000 in gross income or ~15 months of the national average salary.

This is not wrong.

Hey fashion people, why do you continue to ignore that many women love to have pockets in their dresses, proper sized pockets, to carry stuff in them? Do something about it.

Can anyone find a better single image to answer to "What's wrong in Ireland?" I blame the voters, they vote like they support football clubs.

NINBYsm is anti-social behavior.

BOOM! South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less. THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis. #EnergyRevolution

"How strange that the cease fire agreement says nothing about respecting the human rights and freedom of Iranian women. Maybe it's all about oil after all"

Historically, Iran has been quite fair with enemies by keeping their attacks up to, and rarely above, the level of what they have received in attacks against them. The base line is being raised to scary levels right now though. I feel it for the poor innocent people on both sides.

may you live in interesting times

Oh my dog, they went there. This is art!
