Seascape with massive cloud that is shedding rain, blue sky behind it and rainbow in front. It’s all happening!

We have the best skies in Ireland. This cheered me up this afternoon. #irishnature #speirgorm #spéirgorm

This gross industry literally only exists for gambling

We're all feeling sad here.

It was the most polished performance on the night but definitely not the best song. I don't think that song is distinctive enough to get out of it's semi :(

Can't see that song getting out of the Semi final tbh :(

I don't get it either....
Feeling so disappointed 😞

I know :(

We voted for Bobbi & Niyl.
Can't understand that boring bop winning.

Gutted that song won :(

Ah feck - what a bland winner. Back to business as usual for Ireland.
So sad for Bobbi Arlo #eurosong

The magic of an Irish rainforest

Got talking to a woman at the shops yesterday, her son's an ESB engineer, one of those out fixing powerlines at all hours in awful conditions. Said during the last snow he got nothing but abuse off people pissed off at how long it was taking to restore power. These guys out risking life & limb, ffs.

white text on black IF WE BUILT CYCLE NETWORKS THE WAY WE DO ROADS FOR CARS, I HAVE A FEELING WE WOULD BE A BIKING CULTURE.

a cultural thing.

Dublin Bus services gradually starting to operate again now that the red warning is lifted for Dublin. Luas and Irish Rail carrying out inspections of all lines at the moment. Stay safe everyone!

My mind is on Dara and her ilk. Rescue crews don’t judge. They come to your aid no matter how you got into difficulty.

But isn’t it the decent thing to leave sea swims, coast walks, mountain treks, photo ops until Storm Éowyn has passed?

Please.
Do the decent thing.
Stay home.

Lookit, I know I'm not the tallest woman in the world but just walked past a car in town whose bonnet was almost level with my shoulder and think maybe, just maybe, some of them are too big

Ever been riding with someone new to biking or from out of town and you feel it’s your personal responsibility to protect them and keep them safe the entire ride?

Would be really great if our cities felt like this.

Rebuilding the area of Los Angeles destroyed by global warming-induced wildfires is expected to cost a minimum of $250 BILLION and rising due to the need to remove vast amounts of toxic waste.

If you think 'net zero costs too much', I have some terrible news for you.

Just 57 companies linked to 80% of greenhouse gas emissions since 2016 Analysis reveals many big producers increased output of fossil fuels and related emissions in seven years after Paris climate deal

57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016.

These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits.

The profits of Big Oil should not be more important than the future of our planet.

Driver:
Can I get the 9,000 pound, 1000HP electric Hummer?
You can drive it home today!
Do I need a special license?
Nope!
Do I need any extra driver training?
None whatsoever!
So I can just drive off in this monster truck?
Enjoy!

Community:
Can we get a speed bump?
City: we’ll do some studies

Strange how “maybe we could make it safer to bike” is somehow translated into Every trip across the planet must be made by bike by everyone in every situation.

The problem with telling cyclists to ride "assertively" is that, while I don't dispute that it is the best advice if you have to share the road with motor vehicles, it does basically mean "use your soft human body to try to shepherd something that weighs several tonnes and can do 70+ mph."

I can fix that for you.

there's no such thing as a cyclist.

there's you on a bike, me on a bike, your nan on her bike and the kid down the road on their bike.

none of us represent each other, how am I to blame for your nan's terrible road etiquette?

Of all the concepts that humankind needs to absorb + act on with extreme urgency, this tops the list.
