I basically wrote my phd about this guy but, hear me out... sending him to prison would have been absolutely a further waste of our money
Paul Duane 🥔@paulduane.bsky.social · 3d agoRIP "Fingers" Fingleton, who died owing €1500 to everyone in Ireland (Irish Nationwide got a 6BN bailout) but never spent a day in prison www.irishtimes.com/business/fin...
RIP Charlie “Cunningham called bicycles the “perfect means for ‘right living.’” “They make people healthy and happy, and they free us from the tyranny of cars and the guilt of waste,” he said. “Of course, there’s a time and place for cars, but most of us use them too much.” “ @biketalk.bsky.social
Charlie Cunningham, Mountain Bike Innovator, Dies at 77 (Gift Article)
In the late 1970s, he built what is considered the first off-road bicycle with a frame that was aluminum rather than steel, one of his many inventions.

I don't think people are ready for this kind of joke yet.
A reminder that this legislation was passed at Final Stage by 129 votes to 10, with every political party bar Ind. Ireland supporting. This headline shows: > Enormous over-reach by officialdom on an unequivocal democratic mandate, > The craven backtracking of FFG in this gvt on climate action.
I am in the funniest possible situation I am trying to go see The Odyssey but may not get there because of transportation delays

as the Minister prepares for a U-turn on legal fees, it is good that he can quickly follow up with a good news story of his priorities
Imagine my surprise when finding promised social homes on Daft.ie 🙃 140 apartments which should have been public homes now being advertised for €2400-4500 per month

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 can’t think, off the top of my head, of a single elected official who spent time with detainees, voluntarily, calling them part of the community, and spending time with them, shaking their hands, and spend time watching a football game. I may be wrong and do correct me if this happened before.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 3w agoThe beautiful game. The people’s game. Throughout this World Cup, we have been reminded of a simple truth: football belongs to everyone. So does the joy and community it creates. Yesterday, I joined New Yorkers on Rikers Island to watch England take on Argentina.
