haven't seen this much consternation about a bad bunny since elmer fudd.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

1 in 2 people in Ireland will develop cancer at some stage in their lives.

Still Ahead More Trouble

Just looked at The News

If there was a child porn factory down the road, it’d be closed immediately.

The Govt’s response wouldn’t be “hang on, they let us print flyers there too”.

Absolutely blows my mind that Americans have this attitude to work / life. That they put up with hardly any annual leave, being in massive debt for health and education, no paid maternity leave. Greatest land in the World though... for employers.

Better charge the car tonight!

One of the handwritten gift notes that I can include for free with all orders, if desired.

First year selling my art at Christmas without the Other site, where most of my sales came from, as well as losing US orders to new tariffs, so it'll be a tough one - I put huge work into every order, so even if you can't buy, shares help get them in front of eyes.

They are! I'm loathed to open them 😊

Is that a toy show peak at 11pm?!

A screenshot of Green Collective's records dashboard. It shows current and past wind output records in MW (red dots) and as a percentage of demand (blue dots) on the Irish grid. It also lists out top 5 timestamps with highest all-island wind output, the top one being Friday December 5 2025 @9:30: 4671MW.

🚨Our dashboard caught a new all-island wind output record this morning: 4671MW at 9:30am on Friday, 5 December!🚨

Large-scale solar in Ireland just had a fantastic 5-day record-breaking run, culminating on Sunday with multiple new all-time highs:
- output of 864MW
- over the course of the whole day, solar met 9.3% of electricity demand
- at its peak just after 1pm, solar was meeting 22.2% of electricity demand

Word of the Day is ‘ingordigiousness’ (18th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.

oh cool I’ve been meaning to learn anxiety

Fucking love when gross men face consequences.

We were gold and blue for the first few years, which are the school colours. Then with increased numbers red got shoehorned in, and I went from gold to red 🥲 e.g. Form 1 gold

Piriton which is an antihistamine can help with sleep and they're over the counter.

Word of the Day: TAHATLARA (Arabiс, rare) - to behave like Hitler.

Delighted to see PO'M start. Would be love to see Nash get a go too, hopefully in the upcoming games.

Here's something that takes seconds and could have actual positive outcomes.

There is an official 'citizen's petition' system in the EU. There's one open at the moment to ban conversion therapy for LGBT+ people in the EU.

Ireland can be 1 of the 7 nations needed
