By Wednesday morning it had been marked by a local creative. (The graffiti was gone by Thursday morning, so whoever owns it is clearly invested enough to clean it up but not so much to find a more secure parking spot.)
Slightly obsessed by this mindset

I've been on Lambo watch cycling past it every morning this week; apparently it's been seen driving up and down O'Connell Street like it's cruising the waterfront at Puerto Banús

Thanks so much, Jeanette, but you were correct to ask - you should have been asked a second time; we wouldn't like to/ shouldn't take it for granted that you're giving a perennial permission! Thanks again

'Unsightly dirt gatherers': Key lock boxes for Airbnbs should be 'removed', says Dublin councillor ‘It seems the owners of the Airbnb are prepared to keep on buying new lock boxes, because they’re cheap, and never remove them,’ said councillor Dermot Lacey.

This was the previous story - I can send you the DMs if you can't find them (you may no longer be on X!)

Apols re the updated story - would you like us to take down your image from that new one? And we will make sure this doesn't happen again!

Hi Jeanette, there was an exchange between yourself and Diarmuid in DMs on TJ's X account with a previous story on the issue where you gave your permission; this is an update on same, but of course, it should have been checked to see if it was okay to reuse that same image in this update.

Hi Jeanette - I don't know about this but I'm asking the newsdesk right now and will get them back to you, thanks very much for alerting to it

How far-right agitators exploited an information vacuum after the Stoneybatter attack It has become a predictable pattern on X in recent years.

I have to applaud @thejournal.ie because they seem to be the only news outlet actually interested in debunking falsehoods around these incidents.

The truth about Meta’s broadside against fact-checkers Journal Media Managing Editor Susan Daly says that platforms, not fact-checkers, are the ones with the power to control what you see.

"There is irony in Zuckerberg branding US fact-checkers as being “just too politically biased” in a statement that, in both timing and explicit alignment, hints strongly at political expediency."

Thanks Adrian, appreciate that. I'm interested to see where the EU regulatory framework will be stress-tested by moves like this (and I believe Meta will not be alone in figuring out what's the least-most they can do and still fulfill DSA obligations)

This is a good piece by Journal managing editor @susandaly.bsky.social on Zuckerberg’s politically expedient volte face on fact-checking. (The Journal is one of Meta’s fact-checking partners.)

Great to hear, Eamon. You certainly did your research!

not smoking?

With TWENTY candidates in my constituency for this #GE24 I made great use of our Candidate Tracker to make notes on who they all were, so I could vote as far down the polling sheet as possible. So handy.
(And remember, you CAN take notes into the booth with you.)

Ooo, a clay pigeon/substitute bird, makes sense given where we all fled from.. I might save the urban dictionary def for another day 😬

What a recommendation! 😘

Anything to be said for another starter pack?

There's fact-checking, and there's ASAI complaints...

How do we describe what we’re doing here? Are we posting? Blueskying? BSing? Erm…
