Jaysis folk, hard to avoid spoilers on The Traitors while browsing @thejournal.ie, between photos and qoutes I think I now have a fair idea who made it to the finale 😭😭😭😭 Ragin'. And it's not even good clickbaitmanship, everyone knows the mystery drives more clicks, so it's doubly bad. #speirgorm 😭

Oh @trientertainment.bsky.social what a weak episode. Saying artists like #EdSheeran have no impact on issues is saying art has no impact. What is the point of art if it doesn't impact people? Overton Window reasons alone, but shining a spotlight on genocide can only help. Democracy dies in the dark

The €1bn spent on fossil fuel sinces April would have put 8kw battery & solar on 100,000 homes buying them energy freedom for 20+ years. The €1bn+ that will be spent over the next few months would bring that to 250,000 homes. What we lack is will and vision

Yesterday was a very good day for me on Apple TV. Season finale of Silo delivered just what I was hoping for & I love that next season is the last, not some drawn out nonsense. Then I watched The Dink & such a genuinely funny & well written movie. Fair play. #AmWatching #TV #AppleTV

Another day, another ignorant parking prick. How is a wheelchair user from @enableireland.bsky.social around the corner meant to reach the luas? Use the road? This happens too regularly. Another example for ya @oisinoconnordublin.bsky.social #speirGorm #disability #sandyford

A blue honda parked so they're completely blocking the footpath next to a wall, Sandyford

License plate of the honda, reading 142-D-29890, also showing how close the car is to the wall, no chance of a human getting by.

An innovative floating offshore solar project that generates electricity and converts seawater into drinking water. The farm near Gran Canaria produces 85 MW of renewable electricity while using that same power to operate reverse osmosis systems that desalinate seawater #ActOnClimate #renewables

It would be interesting to see what role social class plays in the granting of early release of violent prisoners like Ms Chawke. She was found guilty of biting a man on the face and kicking him in the head, and sentenced to two years and two months. She has been released after just 28 days.

One thing I greatly enjoy about bluesky is folk posting pictures of cool turtles they find in their locality, like it's just not a thing in Ireland, but it's a thing in plenty of temperate-looking climates around the world, so something I would consider exotic just kinda isn't for so many folk 😌

Walking in our farm's rainforest with the melting heat of these days, I am filled with such inexpressible anger at what is being done to our once stable climate. The richest 1% are actively, knowingly, and uncaringly sabotaging the future for all of us, and for the rest of the planet's life.

Here’s a crazy idea: if a corporation wants to build a data center, they should also be required to construct renewable resource mechanisms to operate it—not funded by the public, but from the mountains of wealth they already possess.

Just got clamped on a suburban street for having two wheels on the path. I made sure there was space for a buggy/wheelchair. Whole street clamped, cause it's a narrow cul de sac road so everyone was on the curb. I'm not sure many Dublin roads work with zero wheels on curbs, though it's the law. Eek.

The Supergirl movie was really enjoyable & captured much of the spirit of the comic it's based on. I was surprised to tell friends & then hear "well if it's good, why is it bombing?" I'm really not sure. Misogyny? No male gaze vibes & a sub-arc about sex trafficking, but no "women assemble" either.

Channels of more than 100 kms transport water from dams to farmland. - Reduces evaporation -Provides large agricultural areas with power & supports irrigation -Decreases use of water in food production, doubling the crop.
