Crazy idea but what if the government itself invested in housing and public transport and put in place regulation that enhances both
Imagine trying your damndest to find *more* absentee landlords given Ireland's history. #spéirgorm
This is the government's solution to the housing crisis: selling off the country piecemeal, so that you're endlessly paying rent to offshore landlords.

You won't own any property by the time you retire. And there won't be any white-collar jobs to pay your rent. In some rare good news, we're increasing the retirement age while life expectancy is actually going down, so you won't need a pension anyway.
FFG are shoneenmaxxxing and gombeenmogging
The government will do anything except just build houses
You’d really think you’d couldn’t find a way to appear to be more tone deaf about the Irish housing crisis than Darragh “resting I’m keeping your deposit face” O’Brien, but a “pavilion” at foreign investment property conference on the French Riviera?
Kudos Minister James Browne, kudos…
Just wanted to boost this. Naser has become very exhausted. He needs these meds or the likelihood is he'll end up back in ICU. If so, Amal will be facing a huge bill and she's already under huge pressure, with two young children to feed.

Double decker trains to the airport.. Dublin can only dream of it
Speaking at the People's Congress for the Hague Group, Sally Rooney talked about the significance of the Dunnes strikers in the struggle against South African apartheid and how we have to work now to support the Palestinian struggle for freedom, justice and equality. #FreePalestine #BDS

Very excited to get up and running with this one: awarded £1.5m AHRC Standard Grant for Landscapes of Catastrophe, a project examining the context and impact of the Great Irish Famine www.qub.ac.uk/schools/NBE/...
Most people waste years doing exercise that construction equipment crushes in hours.
I've trained for 10 years. Half was cardio. Quarter was weightlifting. Quarter was cross training.
My new backhoe can do all of that work in hours.
The exercise game has changed forever.
Bragging that your PhD was so shit AI could churn it out like a turd.
Thinking about the open, online journal that was talking about closing submissions because of all the AI generated slop studies that were flooding their submission forms.
Love the way he's devaluing his own knowledge and investment in his education. Doing himself out of a future job. He's basically screaming to be replaced by an LLM.
Marathon runners waste hours covering just 26 miles. With the Uber app, I can make that journey in minutes.
“Reading as grunt work” is so stupid. I got my dissertation+first book idea from a random anecdote in an Ottoman chronicle that my advisor told me to read for language practice. And every idea I’ve had since then has come from something I accidentally encountered while reading for another goal.
If you, as a social scientist, believe that AI is now a better social scientist than you, then (a) you’re probably right, and (b) sure sounds like a skill issue, y’know?
Fire that guy!
"Nobody saw time eating away the Library. Sometimes a single letter dropping out and changing one word to another. Sometimes a footnote, eroding any sense of a chain, of connection to the past. Time was always hungry."
The playful, prolific use of hyperlinks in online journalism (eg Slate, Pitchfork) didn’t anticipate link-rot. Now so many articles are pock-marked with cryptic allusions that some long-dead link once explained. Weird how quickly a new style comes to feel more archaic than the traditional format
Please do not scroll past. Even 5 dollars can help cover urgent medical care for my son. I am asking for your mercy and compassion in this painful time.

Mahmoud’s condition is critical and worsening day by day.🚨
He needs daily medical follow-up, medications, tests, and wound dressings, all very costly.
He also needs surgery for his tendons and nerves, and a metal plate in his foot.
Any support could help save his life. 💔🙏
