China’s Renewable Energy Revolution Is a Huge Mess That Might Save the World A global onslaught of cheap Chinese green power is upending everything in its path. No one is ready for its repercussions.

The messy seeds of hope, another cracking article from @wired.com www.wired.com/story/china-...

Interesting to see the way we are reacting to being told to pull up our socks in Defence: Radar, Gov. jet, armoured vehicles, & the latest visit to showcase sonar, all (potentially) from our Gaulish neighbours…

🔵✊ International Migrants Day is a good reminder that community is strongest when people are welcomed, wherever they're from (and this is what we do, if you haven't noticed yet!)

At Sanctuary Runners, we believe in building fair, safe, and inclusive groups for all.

#InternationalMigrantsDay

As someone originally from West Cork, I’m not unfamiliar with there being some fierce cranks knocking about but interesting to see the view from one of my favourite sites.

History, excellent use of Alt text and a Monty Python reference. This is a what I’m here for!

I still belly laugh every time with that one 😂

Leslie Nielsen as Lt. Frank Drebben

Liam Neeson has some mighty big boots to fill #NakedGun

Currently doing the reverse here in extremely narrow Crete roads, well done. My training in West Cork, near the Stone circle of having to dive towards ditches has stood me well 😂 My other half is not loving the manoeuvre though🤭

God bless the Italians, currently driving a Fiat 500 hybrid as a hire car after driving my MIL's Yaris hybrid at home. The Japanese increased efficiency, the Italians increased acceleration 🚀

4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.

You know what, ref. The other comment, the band of the Southern Brigade would cure a lot of the nonsense you’d see here

Ugh, not necessarily malicious, the uncoordinated live among us, but Oh my sainted aunts, looks so bad

A bit of culture on a Thursday night: Huun Huur Tu in Connolly’s of Leap

A classic of the ruck goblin genre from Casey, starting fights with very large people & scoring with to boot to be extra insufferable 😂

Calm down you lunatic 😂

What a class act this man is

On market open I'm getting stock XYZ down 5% notifications at a rate that exceeds the brothers whatsApp group after full time on Saturday...

Error from the X (formerly Twitter) deactivate account screen

One last middle finger from that cursed site, as the deactivate screen errors, damn those right wing gobdaws for ruining what were some great memories

Sigh, and our pensions

Migrants more likely to be in work compared with Irish-born but face greater poverty, ESRI report finds Migrants are more likely to be working and well-educated compared with Irish-born people, but have lower incomes and suffer more from poverty, a new report has revealed.

People who have moved to Ireland from other countries add so much to our society & often struggle disproportionately. Support migrants, stand up for them, be an active ally & the next time someone says 'we've too much migration in Ireland' point them to this report

Ryanair generally good, know exactly what you are bringing luggage wise & book appropriately. Extras like seat selection & luggage are how the price catches up. No free food, drinks or water either. Never had a flight cancelled yet 🤞

There’s a papal schism joke in there that I’m so sorry for missing

I want to see France lead Europe for this task in a manner and style befitting this ball.
