With all the recent intense rainfall, many parts of the woods are gloriously full of water.
The forests, bogs, + other wild habitats we've removed once retained colossal amounts of water, preventing flooding downstream.
Between that and climate breakdown, we're creating a perfect storm for floods.
In the global electrification race China is marching ahead.
The US and Europe risk falling behind clinging on to yesterday's technologies.
I don't think the Commission understands how much this attack on the GDPR will hurt innovation done by European companies, and instead cement Google's and Meta's position as the inescapable middle-men and turn our SMEs into their cash-cows. WAKE UP!

Mary Manning and her co-workers took dog's abuse from politicians, bosses and the press for 3 years for refusing to handle S. African goods. Today she asks why our govt and chums in big business want to trade with illegal settlements driving Palestinians from their homes

At COP30 in Belém, host country Brazil formally introduced the Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF). It’s an endowment-style mechanism designed to pay countries and forest stewards to keep tropical forests standing. TFFF has drawn goodwill and cautious optimism from leaders and NGOs.

A photo of Declan Ganley and the President of Argentina cosying up together at Mar-a-Lago, captioned: Me and my Argentinian homie here at Mar-a-Lago tonight. Great to see President Milei fresh from his phenomenal and well deserved mid term election victory. Javier Milei is truly 'walking the walk' and doing the hard tasks to finally unleash the enormous potential of Argentina.
#speirgorm might be interested to see this, as we await President Connolly’s inauguration this week. A vision of what might have been 😬

06.11.2025 06:35 — 👍 129 🔁 61 💬 10 📌 5It is not an exaggeration to say that we should be acting on the climate crisis on the same scale that we would a war. It will cause that kind of damage. Instead, we’re treating it as if it’s a Tidy Towns competition.

I have already ended up in a argument today with someone saying I shouldn't assume it was a far-right fire attack on an IPAS centre (following a number of far-right fire attacks on IPAS centres) because it was probably "kids messing with fireworks" so this is worth hammering home I think

No more billionaires.
Most of Ireland's uplands are commonage, ie co-owned by local farmers.
The ONLY real income from commonage is via subsidies, almost always for ecosystem-killing sheep. This is why Irish mountains are all empty wastelands, kept that way by your taxes.
Why are we STILL not paying farmers to rewild??
Israel is bombing tents again with F35 jets.
They commit genocide with impunity.
There was no ceasefire, they broke it every single day.
They must be held to account.
Speak up. Take action.

So much talk about spoiled votes, but virtually zero about the 900,000+ Irish citizens who voted for Connolly and the 15,000 volunteers who campaigned for her - nothing about what they want and represent and hope for.
No, Irish media and politics insist you engage with those who can't be bothered.
That's dreadful. Such a lack of respect

Next election in Ireland will be a total sh*show. Some areas will be no-go for canvassers and ppl will get hurt.
Where's the push back against the Facebook-isation of our democracy?
Extremely relevant in Ireland too. Once a week there's some bread board on the radio talking about how the government should cut down everything. Ignoring that fact that they reduce flooding, reduce windspeed, provide shelter and shade and are beautiful

As we await a verdict in the trial of Soldier F, another reminder that in 2010 the Bloody Sunday inquiry found
- the killings were unjustified
- none of the 14 dead (7 of whom were children) had guns
- no warnings were given
- no soldiers were under threat
- the troops were the first to open fire

In case you're wondering, the EPP is the EU parliamentary group co-founded and adhered to by Fine Gael, Heather Humphrey's party.
Be in no doubt: a vote for her on Friday is a vote against nature.
Excellent analysis of the sad little Fine Gael attack video by Liz Carolan #Áras25

This area of the woods was filled with expanding alien invasive fuchsia until around 5 years ago, when I got rid of it.
Hard work with a chainsaw, but well worth it, with native willow, hawthorn, holly, and blackthorn filling the space naturally.
*SO* satisfying to see the natural habitat return.
