🤞this place stays like Irish Twitter c.2010. Dublin, politics, history, random interesting stuff, football, the world. Used to work in NGOs, now public sector (Further Ed & Training). Suppose I should say Labour Party (Ireland) member, for transparency.

Hmm not much use comprehending what to do but being psychologically unable to begin for fear of making a mess of it though…

Have a fully empty quite expensive bullet journal I purchased in great hope over last Christmas holidays sitting close by… maybe 2027 is the year?

I grew up in a union household too. Join a union if you can. Unions fought for most of the rights you DO have in work. NEVER pass a picket. This includes working from home when your colleagues are on a picket outside your workplace; it’s still passing a picket line virtually. #UpTheWorkers 💪

One dart station away from my dentist’s appointment and they called me to tell me the bloody mouthguard yoke hadn’t come in yet so it has to be postponed. After phoning me at lunchtime to move the appointment half an hour earlier too. What excellent use of a half day AL. 🙃

Everyone has a right to life. The death penalty is a cruel and inhuman punishment. Let’s put an end to it. Through the European Convention on Human Rights, we have eradicated the death penalty across almost the whole continent. The rest of the world should follow suit. www.coe.int/en/web/porta...

It is crazy that Google took a sledgehammer to the one thing pretty much every internet user in the world used it for. Their name became a fucking verb it was so universally used. Now you get this fucking bollocks trying to search ANYTHING.

Dubray are useless. Last time I was in the one on grafton street they wouldn’t let me on their top floor to look at whatever passes for a politics and current affairs section an hour before their closing time because the cafe on said floor was closed. Nor would they go & look for the book for me.

Here’s the thing though. Human beings change their mind about things over time. Their views evolve based on their real life experience. The ‘AI’ cannot read inside their head right now, or predict what changes will occur in their brains even in 1 day from now. Not every data point is online.

“Just be more efficient lads. Share the cycle paths between different roads like. Make the wheelchairs go on the grass, then it counts as a greenway too.” is just a figment of my imagination obviously and not what the relevant minister actually thinks.

I hope her family can at least sue the landlords, who tbqh should be tried for murder.

They should reinstate the previous inheritance tax rates and ring fence the proceeds to fund stuff like this.

The biggest inefficiency I’ve heard of recently is a pilot project being run at the insistence of a minister even though the public servants in the area pointed out all the reasons in advance why it wouldn’t work and wouldn’t solve the perceived problem, and even suggested an alternative.

‘We all need to responsible for cutting costs but also the public service is inefficient but also we’re cutting taxes even though we’ve been warned time and again that our tax base is too narrow.’ Like will you please just invest in public services

This probably means they weren’t able to figure out a way to do it while also harvesting all their data, because I can think of about 5 ways to do it through vouchers or prepaid cards that could be set up pretty easily by say some organisation such as An Post.

This article would benefit from some additional information on house prices across the eurozone in comparison with some standard measure such as average income. Or at least a note that rates of inflation don’t all start from the same base. Without further context it’s fairly meaningless.

I mean, quite apart from anything else, the ‘refugee crisis’ they’re so worried about is hardly going to be diminished by further impoverishing millions of people globally is it? #jOiNeDUptHiNkInG
