Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up
The Verge@theverge.com · 2d agoBluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
Greenways should be built in a way that limits environmental impacts, but I'm finding it strange how some keep being hyper focused on the impact of greenways but never seem to mention motorways/large roads -- the M28 is just the current example of how such rip through land: youtu.be/aU-2_kr7mnM?...

Years on, danger spots for cyclists along the Rathmines to city centre corridor persist. There's a plan to reduce motor vehicle traffic along the route, and install kerb-segregated cycle lanes along most of it – but moving very, very slowly.

The #BoyneGreenway runs for 4km from Drogheda to the Battle of the Boyne visitor centre. That section was officially opened in 2014 - 313 years after the historic Battle of the Boyne. 12 years has passed, and not a single centimetre has been added to the greenway. My piece on @navancycling.ie
Navan Cycling Initiative@navancycling.ie · 5d agoHow much do you know about the #BoyneGreenway? As it stands, the Boyne Greenway is largely associated with the existing trail in Drogheda. Yet that is only ‘Phase I’. The question remains: whatever happened to the rest? ➡️ Read more: navancycling.ie/greenways/th...

In one day: ⚠️ 760 drivers speeding ⚠️ 20 arrested for drink/drug driving ⚠️ 90 using a mobile phone ⚠️ 20 road deaths in July And we all know this is just the tip of the iceberg, when AGS are bothered to do a nationwide enforcement 'operation' But e-bikes, right. www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41...

Very sad to hear this. One of the finest defenders. Un mito del calcio e dello sport.
Franco Baresi was not only the captain but the moral heart of great Milan team
The centre-back, who has died aged 66, defined an era of hard Italian defending and his collection of honours is eternal proof of his class

If someone is concerned about the risk to pedestrians from e-bikes, e-motos, and scooters, but doesn't support taking away space from cars to build safer micro-mobility infrastructure then I would question their commitment to safety
I had a pair of Garda stop me cycling on Eden Quay to ask me where my helmet was. Tried to tell me it was required. Don't trust them to have a clue or not be biased.
As for Mayo, credit to them for finally getting over the line. Their press and intensity and energy won it for them. Although disappointed with Kerry for not dealing with it better and managing the game (Dublin were great at doing this in all those finals).
#SundayGame Team of the Year. I know these things are always open for debate, but having only 4 players from outside the 2 finalists doesn't fairly represent a team for the whole year. #GAA

Nearly 300,000 people have been forced to flee their homes as devastating wildfires continue to spread across France and Spain. Bordeaux officials are considering a total evacuation of the city if needed, while firefighters in Spain say some blazes are spreading too quickly to tackle head-on.
The #GalwayCityRingRoad is all about "freeing up" land for new car-dependent development. Leo Varadkar, famous for saying the quiet part out loud, told us that a couple of years ago. Developers and speculators have been lobbying for a "bypass" since the late 1990s. It's payback time now.
