#boringparis-cyclingdiary share a lovely #paris urban bike ride . The ambient audio & violin music as good as the videography. I have visited Paris years ago & it looks so so so much better to ride a bike there now. 2 wheeled progress . Hope & inspiration for all cities. ❤️🚲🇫🇷

I drove today for over two hours, mostly in heavy traffic and I am shattered, my soul hurts. How do people do this everyday? What compromises in life can justify that torture? Screw that!

Do yourself a favour, go to Settings -> Moderation -> Muted words and tags and list the words that you would rather not read about in your timeline. It does make a big difference.

The idea of having my "personal manifesto" published is fun, so I'm starting this thread to try to outline over time my overall social and political views - and maybe explain why I feel that humanity is doomed due to its own defects. I don't expect it to gather any attention and that's OK. 1 of many

So much going on on the greenway front. Once we get to having a network, I predict that cyclo-tourism is going to boom in Ireland.

This might help some people think about their relationship with micro plastics youtu.be/zVrDzYczOJ0?...

Yes and yes

To those who say they "don't care much about politics" even looking at the state of the world right now, please don't be a muppet, smarten up, be a part of the solution. Do it while you still have the right to vote.

A huge robbery is taking place. The criminal mind behind it is currently the most powerful man in the world. His thugs wear uniforms.

There's a man passed out/sleeping/other on the footpath on Capel St. across from Central. What does one do in such situations?

Fact: Women who put on weight over the festive period are 98% more likely to live longer than their partners who point it out.

Looks like there's some hunting going on outside my window

Since many might be holding their thoughts as they are worried about getting into the orange dictator's country, those that have no plan to go there should be compensating for it

Instead of wasting time and money talking about a second orbital road for Dublin, we should be discussing the first orbital tram line. Either using the canal cordon or something further out from the city centre.

This guy was playing on Grafton St last night. He was so bad he was actually entertaining. I'm convinced that he was just messing and that he might actually be a good musician. Maybe even a professional musician having a laugh.

The pirates should have checked who the cargo belonged to. They probably never heard of INCOTERMS and FOB. share.google/CiSwaoqls9NJ...

Spare a thought for the unfortunate people who have been forced to listen to Christmas songs, noon-stop, on repeat for the last six or so weeks while working in shops - and having to look jolly.

This is so powerful. www.jpost.com/opinion/arti...

I spent some time trying to develop a decent handwriting when I was younger. I failed, badly. I was today years old when I told a primary teacher I know about it. " yeah, you had to be taught by a left handed person", she replied, without hesitating. What?!? Is that a thing?

I'm sure Ms Burke would have no issue with people deciding which pronouns are used to refer to them. It should follow court orders though.

If Ireland can't get organized to avoid huge climate action fines by 2030, what's the chance that it can prepare for the actual impact of climate change? Governments with five year horizons and without green credentials will never be part of an effective solution. We're stuck.

The debate about building safe cycling infrastructure always seems to be about those who cause the pain and destruction opposing protection for those they hurt. How is this even tolerated? (screenshot of @dublininquirer.com's Collision Tracker)

I've heard this type of observation a few times before. Misinformation and manipulation should not be tolerated. Speech must be free, but not without consequences when toxic and harmful.

Halloween bike bop through the centre of Dublin at 6pm tomorrow!

I'm having a philosophical moment . Climate change and religion. They are similar as in people make binary choices about them: On one side are the hard facts and unknowns, which aren't easy to take and require one to face their problems. As an alternative, there's comfort in the choice of denial.

While women are targeted with"pink tax", many men tend to buy into other marketing tricks like these. Being gullible is gender agnostic.

Saw her twice - in the Park and Rialto. Thought I was hallucinating

Cryptocurrencies are a huge backwards Game of Chicken that can wipe out 3.84 TRILLION US Dollars overnight. Not enough to sink the global economy, but enough to hurt a lot of greedy people. It is a question of when it will happen.

The fact that people are allowed to store their cars in the street is really weird - after all, a car is an individual's own private property and their responsibility. I can't think of a single other item you can store in public in this way.

There's a certain campaign that should be told to "stay classy". Only that this would imply that they once were...

Ideas for the housing crisis: 1. The planning process should be tested hack-a-thon style to identify weaknesses, remove wasteful delays and hinder abuse. "Lock all key stakeholders in a room" and only let them out once a thoroughly tested and improved system is found. 1/

AI going for white collar jobs, but blue collars are far from safe (or conservative businesses in general). The answer to most of our problems is always in top quality education and fostering innovation. Ah, UBI is a given too.

Drivers, eh? But, sure, they pay road tax. Driver was uninjured, etc. Nothing to see here.

Even the worst movies about banana Republic dictatorships wouldn't come up with something so poorly thought out.

If @bsky.app doesn't tackle the infiltration of bots, this place is doomed.

If you put it like that... 😯

The issue with free speech, the thing that the manipulators have figured out that they can use to undermine any society with a poor education system just by deploying bots online, the reason why democracy is irretrievably broken in the US - with the UK not far behind:

I didn't expect either... and so disappointed to see MM exposing his lack of backbone so publicly. We deserve better.
