@nprofile…jenf after my (& the rest of the world's) recent experience with the gen2 Chromecast, I'd be very hesitant to buy products from Google again. But yeah, this approach is not just them, it's pervasive

Screw him, trying blackmail. Do the tariffs old man. Do them for China like you promised too. See how your voters like it when everything costs them more

Since forever these men have had their own dedicated media telling them they should be aggrieved. Murdoch-owned loudspeakers warning them about black people, trans people, women, Muslims, cyclists, environmentalists, other men, long haired people, hoodies, indigenous populations, non smokers, doctors and experts, the PC brigades and so on...

Aggrieved white men are a threat to democracy — history tells us we can't ignore them.
These types are creeping around everywhere these days

People who oppose things (cycle lanes, public transport, meat alternatives and so on) are against giving people options. They are basically saying, "there's one way of doing things. My way"
I don't know why we listen to them

Here's a prehistoric tomb that looks out over the Atlantic. From here you can see Clare Island, Inisturk, Inisboffin, Inishark and the tops of Achill. Premium stone- or bronze age waterfront property.
A grave, on Halloween

We were told our house cannot be fitted with solar panels, as the Irish grants for domestic solar only cover putting them on existing roofs. Our long south facing wall cannot be used. Meanwhile in Germany... #solar #ireland #fail

When did we get this nonsense that public transport should be profitable? My car costs me money every year. My bike less so, but still depreciates. You never see articles on those losses.
RTÉ of all people should not be pushing this line. Transport should be free.

I know designers and other creatives who happily post only to Instagram. They never had sole ownership of their intellectual property. It was stupid, and inexcusable for designers who should be able to create at least a bare bones website.

Well son, back in my day, we used to call that 30 mins. Yessir, 10 minutes followed by another 20 was what we called 30 minutes. But, I guess it's all different with you youngsters nowadays. Maths just ain't what it used to be #cooking

Q: How can openly looking for bribes from an industry that will damn us all not be both clearly illegal and politically damning?
A: Because those tasked with enforcement are part of the same system

This is odd. From an article about Ethiopian #cycling culture, racing in particular. This photo from a race shows a number of riders, all from the same team, on bikes branded Twitter

I'm a big fan of not arresting people for protesting against armies that kill children

2024-05-03 06:14:34

Quelle surprise.
The vast majority of posts on X concerning the anti-immigration protests in Newtownmountkennedy, Co Wicklow, last week came from outside Ireland.

@npub1h7y…py5p I was in Dublin on Saturday and could have killed for a panini. Alas, none to be had

Always reminded of this when the far right could have been stopped but were not and were instead given a free pass as a legitimate political movement. Fuck them. #dublin

@npub1hd2…zm0u bookmarking this as I want to find out too. It sounds too good to be true! My modelling amp has a few settings that allow you change the pitch, but they are pretty awful... maybe ok for one note at a time, slowly

Now, that is funny.
Days after they all got annoyed because a climate protest tried to hinder them driving into the desert.

Those weirdos who promote Catholic swordplay for chivalrous boys in Kildare showed up in the festering pit known as the YouTube timeline.
I have history turned off so as to be tracked less. It means though, as a downside, I get shown more weird religious stuff, or gun channels, or alternative archaeology. YouTube is horrible
