🚨 Half of all new cars registered in Ireland in September were fully electric (49.3%)! Car sales here are concentrated in January and July, so a single month is misleading, but I pulled out the BEV sales share for July-September sales for the past years: 2024 - 14% 2025 - 22% 2025 - 35% 📈↗️👆‼️

honestly, I give up: councillors will get behind a speculative process to allow people to close public roads so they can dig up the footpaths to install private car chargers but no support for similar (proven) mechanisms to allow children's street play for two hours priorities...

Very strange one tonight, I used Google Gemini AI to edit a photo, it asked if I wanted it animated (sure) but then the video *had my voice on it*. Not exactly but it's how I laugh and a pretty specific north Wicklow kind of accent. I don't voice prompt Gemini and it claims it's just a coincidence.

Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.
