I saw a 40ft shipping container this week that proudly trumped its eco credentials. How eco is it you may well ask? They use bamboo for the flooring

We have one that dispenses actual boiling water, it is probably our best ever luxury purchase. I love not having to listen to the absolute din from a boiling kettle anymore

Stoopid car, even stoopider than the Cybertruck. And as equally dumb as his robo taxi with just 2 seats

I've been pondering what you're going to write about to complete the trilogy. Maybe a how to survive the pending zombie/AI apocalypse would be in order?

In Ireland, nature, be it forests or hedgerows, are only deemed valuable once they're cut down. It's capitalism and neoliberalism at its finest. Another great read from @aislinnkellyy.bsky.social!

This is worth 5 minutes to read. A lot of the modern digital world relies on a handful of people working in their spare time.

Exactly, so long as you're not looking, there's nothing to see. Instead, watch out everyone, there's an immigrant!

She's a 94 year old Jewish human rights lawyer. She's been arrested under terrorism legislation for opposing genocide. The least we can do is to listen.

Doesn't matter where they're from. Renewable energy generation cannot keep pace with their consumption, and everyone of these things also has gas/diesel burning generators. They are incompatible with the climate emergency.

We gotta drop the distinction between pedal bikes and e-bikes altogether. Electric motorcycles are their own thing, and there’s no need whatsoever to differentiate between a conventional pedal bike and a pedal assisted bike when reporting on an incident
