Start a war with a wanted war criminal for an ally. Bomb a school full of children. Assassinate the leadership. Bomb a water desalination plant. Bomb an oil refinery, causing black rain to fall on a city of 9m people.

Any Western nation thinking about saddling up on this one, better think twice.

Saddam’s wanton destruction of his own oil fields during the second Iraq war were emblematic of his cruelty and malevolence. So what the fuck are we doing here?

The United States military has no honour.

Bombing school children, sinking unarmed ships and leaving sailors to drown — the stuff that from an early age, civilised people are told is barbarian.

Now US policy, because actual Western (and Christian) values are too "woke" or "politically correct".

Israel attacking Turkiyë and forcing a showdown over article 5 is a situation made in a lab to drive the Reasonable Thinker caucus into Lovecraftian madness

SOLAR PV FOR HALF THE PRICE A Case Study from Newton Court (Grange, Douglas) Sustainable Energy Community By Oliver Deasy MARCH 12 THURSDAY 7.30PM ST. JOSEPH'S COMMUNITY CENTRE, OLD YOUGHAL ROAD ORGANISED BY CLLR OLIVER MORAN

Really inspiring talk of how residents clubbed together to save on solar installation — and cut 90–100% off their electricity bills for just €2,500, financed through a credit union loan.

🗓️ 7:30pm, Thursday, 12 March
📍 St Joseph's Community Centre, Old Youghal Road

FFG will soon be rolling out the usual "our economy is susceptible to external factors" & nothing will be done. Instead they could have years ago provided investment in households with solar panel installation & batteries which would supply power back to the grid while also providing resilience.

My sincere apologies.

Tenants of 36 households in Co #Wexford were told their landlord was delivering eviction notices because of the Govt’s new rental rules, according to a leaked video.

Residents heard the landlord would follow “radio shows and political debate” before making a “final decision” on their housing.

185 dead last year. 27 in the first two months of this year.

This behaviour is categorised alongside "non-crime" in statistics from An Garda Síochána, unless those numbers are added to.

And what the Oireachtas (and sadly, local authorities) wants to know is, was the cyclist wearing high-viz?

Jesus 😵‍💫

I imagine they also think women can’t be ‘proper’ plumbers.

Introduced in 2018 and expanded to all roads by 2020, Bilbao was the first European city of more than 300,000 inhabitants to adopt a universal 30 km/h speed limit. Several years on, the results suggest it has delivered broad benefits on safety, public health, travel efficiency, and quality of life.🧵

We've had a "housing emergency" declared since 2018.

Since then we've seen what genuine emergency responses look like — during the pandemic and during the Ukrainian refugee emergencies.

Normal laws were set aside, emergency measures were swept in. Emergency measures like we need now for housing.

I cannot help but think of families dropping daughters to school at St Brendan's GNS in the Glen — the same distance from the military base in Cork as the primary school in Minab.

The people killed in the US/Israeli bombing of the school is now counted at 148, mostly girls between 7–12 years old.

Love the cyclist sailing through the middle of this mess. Very much “you guys carry on, I’ve got places to be.”

Adding extra car parking along Cork active travel project led to increase in trees to be cut down -- Councillors unanimously approved Knockpogue Avenue and Knockfree Ave project.-- New semi-mature trees to be planted to outnumber trees felled as part of the work.-- 22 trees to be removed, but in excess of 40 to be planted.-- Cycle lanes targeted, but new footpaths, crossings, traffic calming, road resurfacing included.-- Car parking is maintained outside all houses.

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls.

But since she asked,

"Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States."
