This is why I am not yet ready to go with an EV. The very thought of having to stop to charge with our daughter’s disability in mind is one of dread. When batteries go even better - Chinese tech will continue to drive that - we’re in. Til then, the Tiguan will remain perfect.

Awful news on Brian Smith’s passing at just 59 years old. Fucking cancer. RIP ❤️
This evening’s solar eclipse should be interesting if visibility is a go. For Dublin-based timings, see below. There was also a planetary parade this morning. Six of them all lined up.
Safe to say that at least one half of Chicago is a fan of the Pope. Last night’s crowd giveaway was 40,000 pope hats. Nun who famously threw first pitch some years back returned and got it all started from the hill. It’s a funny old game is Baseball and I love it. www.mlb.com/news/white-s...
‘Four Lions’ is a very underrated movie. On the dvd extras there’s an excellent piece on how and why young people become radicalised. If you’ve not seen, do watch I don’t mind giving this scene away as it’s such a classic bit of black comedy. youtu.be/KHZCPfhj_9c?...

I will pass on some of my own advice. If your role affords you the room to be authentic, you are in a job that suits you and will enjoy your time in it. If that is not possible, seriously look elsewhere. It’s the culture that is prohibiting you right there, and you have no influence over it.
Justin Deegan@justindeegan.bsky.social · 4d agoFrom one of the best rugby brains around, I got this advice: “Read ‘Snakes in Suits’ and make sure it’s not your autobiography”.
No, you fucking shouldn’t and no, you fucking didn’t.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4d agoTrump: "At one year, you should have 5 separate visits for vaccines rather than getting them all in the same day. I've seen proof of where they have a vaccination thing that looks like the size of a bottle of soda and pour it into a little child's body."

Over on Zuckerbook there are heaps of cretins slamming the extradition of Kinahan, and having pops at anyone who mentions murderous international criminal cartels. A weird platform that one.

Two and a half more weeks to go with these overlong Summer hols. Won’t even try describing how it affects a child with disabilities such as ours has. July provision was great. After that it wasn’t long before it really landed with her what lay ahead. Tough, relentless fucking going, I tell you.

The US government converted $8.9bn of already-awarded but unpaid CHIPS Act/Secure Enclave funding into 433.3m Intel shares. So Intel gave nobody anything. Donorrhea keeps repeating the lie that he shook Intel down to do what a communist govt does.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7d agoTrump takes a break from fear-mongering about communism to brag about seizing the means of production: "We had a problem with Intel. And we settled the problem. They gave us 10% of the company. That was worth $12 billion."
Yep, Dodgers are breaking Baseball and the Mets payroll is buying them championships…

Don’t see what all the fuss is about. If Donorrhea can grow an ear back, he can grow some Farrah Fawcett locks no worries.
Probably a house or two, a pension fund and savings/investments. Nothing special. This prying into families’ lives will never be news. It’s none of our business.

This is the same Gavin Mairs who, with the likes of Paul Rees, Jones et al, was a cheerleader for the private owners of PRL and LNR as they made a lunge for the European club competitions from the unions so they could compete with those unions.
