On #WorldDayAgainstChildLabour, we remember union organiser Mary 'Mother Harris' Jones who led a ‘children's crusade’ against child labour in 1903, which included a 145km march from Philadelphia to New York City. She was active in the labour movement into her 90s. www.dib.ie/biography/jo...

Can't understand why so many people aren't excited about a future where good information is increasingly difficult to find among huge mounds of genAI junk, images are mostly fabricated, and social media is mostly "funny" videos made by people with the comedy chops of a damp piece of cardboard

IPAS = International Protection Accommodation ServicesText reads: "Look at this lovely migrant who Simon Harris invited into Ireland , this is in Facebook headquarters today, nice mess for them in the morning , the dirty scumbag."Transphobic comment from James: "This type of rubbish is what’s wrong with our country , men competing against ladies .

Wild what you can get away with in articles about cycling. This is objectively false! A city with less driving and more biking is far safer for pedestrians. Hate cyclists all you want but that’s an empirical fact
A surge in cyclists has left some pedestrians feeling intimidated. "It's dangerous for pedestrians," says Bernadette, a 66-year-old university teacher. "Cyclists are always cutting in front of cars, running red lights and generally doing whatever they want.

Lovely to hear the bit of Gaeilge and Irish music on TV and radio during the Seachtain na Gaeilge/St. Patrick's Day run every year, and would also suggest to broadcasters that they can incorporate those things into their shows on all the other days of the year too, at any time, it's not even illegal

The sharks are innocent. Or at least, they’re not eating the internet. The myth is almost as old as the global internet itself. It begins with the development of TAT-8, the first subsea fiber optic cable to cross an ocean.

Say Goodbye to the Undersea Cable That Made the Global Internet Possible
History was unmade last year, as engineers began the massive project of ripping the first-ever transoceanic fiber-optic cable from the ocean floor. Just don’t mention sharks.
