I almost got hit by a driver this week who was on scrolling on their phone and had drifted into the cycle lane. I was lit up like a Christmas tree.

This has actually annoyed me. Why have we blocked a really nice and historical part of Dublin with tat for the sake of a shit photo opportunity for tourists.

Warren Swords@warrenswords.bsky.social · last wk.

It's insane to me that they've blocked this view of a historical monument and park with a massive billboard to promote Dublin to people already here.

"The primary disadvantage of the Dublin D, for the purposes of my specific research, is that there’s really no spot nearby where you can peep at it without looking like some kind of flasher." Here's my review of the Dublin D.

This is going to be me all day thinking about that GPO story

"The GPO is not for Arnotts. It's for all of the people," says O'Toole, firmly."

Dublin Inquirer@dublininquirer.com · last wk.

Maybe people shouldn't be able to collect social welfare at the GPO, Arnotts lobbies. The company behind the Henry Street department store raised the idea with the man in charge of the regeneration of the city centre, returns show.

Only last month Channel 4 announced they were axing about 300 jobs in biggest layoffs in its history. Like losing your job in the 90s to repeats of The Brady Bunch

Not to be glib but it's sort of bleakly fitting that you can no longer buy a book called "normal people" in the UK.

Apropos of nothing but I find the Irish Times is one of the place where words becoming meaningless. Hipster, woke, virtue signaling and now "performative" to describe a strike.

There's a caller on Liveline saying livestreaming executions is a good thing. "You don't have to watch it if you don't like it."

A Reuters investigation debunked Tesla’s flawed US research that its ‘Full Self-Driving’ system is up to 10 times safer than a human driver. Now it’s submitting the same research to European regulators deciding whether to approve FSD reut.rs/4AT9ItC

Tesla is browbeating the EU to approve its ‘Full Self-Driving’ tech. The pressure is working.

Elon Musk’s EV company is running a social-media campaign blaming European traffic deaths on red tape. Its safety claims don’t hold up, experts say, but regulators are starting to buckle.

The Journal are doing AI-generated summaries of their...comment section.

If you wanted to explain the difference between Irish people and English people, you just need to look at the reaction to the video of Emmet Scanlan on Joe Marler's podcast.

The Economist is a great example of Knoll’s Law of Media Accuracy. Used to read it a lot until they did a feature on Ireland and well...

Reminded of quote that Britain introduced slavery solely for the satisfaction of abolishing it.

Kim A. Wagner@kimatiwagner.bsky.social · last mo.

This is a genuinely incredible post: comparing slavery to the liberation of the Netherlands during WWII effectively reduces Britain's centuries-long involvement in slavery and the slave trade to the act of abolition. The real problem about the legacies of empire is apparently a lack of gratitude 🫪

They should flip it. Let everyone vote in the Seanad EXCEPT people who went to certain Universities/Third level.

Gavan Reilly@gavreilly.com · last mo.

The people voted almost 50 years ago to widen the Seanad electorate - and only 13 years ago to save it from extinction. But now that the electorate HAS been widened, only 9% of potential voters have signed up. That says many things - including that the upper house is out of favour again.
