Empty vessels get attention when they make noise.
So this is a good day to contact your local public reps and let them know that, contrary to what three weirdos say on the internet, you have no problem with drag queens - and add politely that you will have a problem with TDs pandering to bigotry

I miss Dark Sky too 😭😭😭
Really enjoying (enjoying?!) Too Big To Fail but jeez between the footage and the interviewee choices (with obv exception of Susan O’Keefe) it’s a grim reminder of the extent of the gender imbalance in Irish politics and media.
I was wondering if that (cheap batteries) was the source.
Have said this before in other forms, but will reiterate it here: if you're doing long-form writing of any sort, reading the words aloud into a microphone is a completely unparalleled cheat code. It's free, easy, and so effective it feels like it shouldn't be allowed. I do it in a few stages...
Thanks Brian - yes I’d also like to see the site cleaned up but yes definitely needs more clarity / btw I’ve a feeling I might know one of your brothers!!!

@thinkorswim.bsky.social @bgormley.bsky.social Would either of ye be able to decipher what this actually means for Drogheda? Seems like a lot of pr-speak but hard to work out what this actually is.... droghedalife.com/greencoat-re...
As the petrostates wage wars that send oil & gas prices spiralling, what a great incentive to go all-in on renewables & stop funding terrorist states and their endless wars into the bargain.
Ahhhh. I've already seen one driver's victim on the road between Mornington and the Grammar School.
I live in a housing estate and people are regularly driving at about 60kmh and more by my house. A housing estate. 😭😭😭
It is very striking that, in the modern era, everyone turns into children when bombs begin dropping. It's a good reminder that, in fact, the arrangement between 1945 and present, whatever you want to call it, has been so successful for so long people have forgotten what war is like.
The highlights of a cracking match between Bohs and Shamrock Rovers, with Bohs winning 3-2 to stay top of the league. @loipdnews.bsky.social
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
Not the same guy, you brick-brained clown. The one who came to power in 1979 died 10 years later in ‘89.
This game was nuts! (Bohs v Shamrock Rovers)
BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.
Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Ireland's government wants to make us a digital slop farm.
And in the process, almost certainly miss climate targets.
Very few jobs or tangible benefits, but easily wowed and awed by big tech.

@johncreedon.bsky.social closing out the night with the fabulous Sandy Denny… ❤️
A failed asylum seeker has been charged with the murder of a well-loved Irish farmer and there's hardly a peep from the far-right. Can't think why.
If you are of a certain age and you enjoy a bit of a shout at the telly this is on on Monday. #Speirgorm
Phew! We can get more homework answers built more quickly for the homework factory. Those quarterly metrics for homework production aren’t going to meet themselves.
“Busy work”?!!! Oh my giddy aunt
Universities really should have developed their own LMS platforms. It wouldn’t have been beyond them. Not to mention the fact that the newer infrastructure for “online” courses will also likely divert student fees to platforms…
a horrific weekend on our roads and it's the result of policy, plain and simple
never mind hi-vis vests, the problem is the motor vehicles, the way they're driven, the speed at which they're driven, and the design of the roads and streets on which they're driven
