irish government to require all pedestrians and cyclists to dress like this so that drivers will maybe look at them

What a wildly stupid idea.

Mandatory helmets and high viz is a proven remedy to reduce the number of people cycling. It effectively kills off things like Dublin Bikes.

That's why no other EU country does anything like this. Pure madness.

We are proud to announce that our chairperson Cllr @janetphorner.bsky.social will be running in the Dublin Central by-election

Happy Green Party Bank Holiday to all who celebrate!

“Ooops sorry, that Deliveroo job has now been taken by an AI controlled drone. Best of luck!”

Jaysis really? There was a lot of lovely (if cold) sunny days for so much of earlier January in Dublin. A distant memory now

Say his name: Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an intensive care nurse, ten shots. Gunned down by ICE on a Minneapolis street, blood on the President’s hands.

Never forget

This is quite a post

Guest Gist: 2026, Our Already Rotting Future Seamus O'Reilly warns of AI maximum bubbledrive this year.

In what's now become an annual tradition, I've written another piece for The Gist about how and why I hate A.I.

On a bubble about to burst, a future rotted to its core, and the limits of the Mrs Doyle Theory of artificial intelligence.

We don’t dance on the grave of NFTs enough. I had a year where I was repeatedly told by bozos I was going to be irrelevant and extinct for not embracing them, I should be allowed a victory lap.

My New Year's resolution, arbitrary as it is, is to be online less. I'm having trouble concentrating, chasing little dopamine hits instead of committing to long term activities like writing and reading. I'm addicted to the distractions, and it has to stop. I'm too old for this constant outrage. (1)

190 road fatalities in 2025, 15 more than 2024

Headlines on government abandoning plans to bring in red light cameras, disband the RSA, and 30km speed limits alongside the message Our government does not care

190 lives lost on Irish roads in 2025, and a government that are choosing to do something worse than nothing. They are abandoning road safety interventions planned by the previous government.

This is very cool, where did you shoot this from?!

Good morning. Let's make a collective resolution: this will be the year in which we start to turn things round.

Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

Who would’ve thought it?

When you spend months paralysing the Government just for Michael Lowry and his mates to ask you questions, you are left with a legislative wasteland.

@rodericogorman.bsky.social in today's Irish Times on this do-nothing Government 👇

They've done it again, they've cut more rail projects. The most criminal one for me is cancelling the reopening of the Waterford-Wexford/Rosslare line. On the left is the All-island Rail Review published by the last government and on the right is the plan published today.

Today it's exactly 6 years ago that EU Commission President Von der Leyen announced the European Green Deal, which she called "Europe's Man on the Moon moment" 🎂

Von der Leyen's priority today? Acting on corporate demands for #deregulation, recklessly rolling back environment and health standards 😡

It was incredible. Pure American, ironically, from start to finish. Who is his dad?

It was a demented listen, his aggression was off the scale, from being asked simple questions (instead of being fawned over, which seems to be his usual experience)

The flotilla mobilisation for the liberation of the Palestinian people gave us an inch of hope.

We can’t lose hope for Palestinians.
When we mobilise, we scare the oppressors.
Get that anger, get that hope, and keep mobilising.
