Dublin builds too many hotels — and nowhere near enough homes.
The Greens want to change the city tax system to fix that.
Double the tax on new hotels, use the money to cut tax on new homes. 🏘️🏘️🏘️

Gave a talk to 4th yr business students in Trinity on Monday and tomorrow on a judging panel for a primary school business competition organised by the amazing folk at The Solas Project in Dublin 8. They do amazing work for underprivileged kids in inner city. You can support here solasproject.com
Today is the last day to submit on the college Green public consultation. It’s super quick and easy to do!

Quite enjoyed the second season but not as much as the first. Definitely far more grim but the jaunty 50's soundtrack could fool you at times.
Many companies engage in greenwashing or co-opt words related to ethics. It's difficult to see what's actually authentic. I think the only real transparent way for us to do this is giving up 4% of everything we earn. We roast coffee really well. If you need some imbibe.ie/pages/shop #speirgorm
Pretty serious allegation here. "Witnesses told the BBC that the Israeli soldiers had arrived disguised in Lebanese military fatigues and used ambulances with signs of Hezbollah's Islamic Health Organization."

Still amazed by the fact that anyone can put "this coffee is ethically sourced" on a bag without having to show any proof of that. If it's true for coffee, I'd imagine it's true for other foods.

Seemingly to their own surprise, the Trump administration goes to war with Iran. This is the Gist.

US military bombed a school and killed 150 girls and their media is talking about how it's spiking gas prices that could turn Americans against Trump's war.
It's a kind of insanity.
Cats been out of the bag on this for quite a while but… time to formally announce our partnership with the good people of @foggynotions.bsky.social

Other place was great for us and kept us in business during Covid. Here obviously isn't same. We're lucky we've built a loyal base of people who buy our coffee - thank you! Isn't true for all particularly small artisits/independents who can't afford to advertise. Try to repost their stuff. It helps

Hey kids 👋
Fancy a bit of retail therapy?
We make lots of lovely things and we could do with a few orders.
Reposts would be fabulous too, I swear I am not demanding.

The green Party's Hannah Spencer has won the Gorton and Denton, with Reform in second and Labour finished third
Jack Dorsey laid off 4000 workers (about half the staff), at Block yesterday. He said he believes majority of companies in the industry will do similar in the next year. Share price soared as a result. Gross profit for the year was $2.87 Billion. Disgusting.
Oh God I’d forgotten that one.
I use Square for my small business. As of today, I am actively pursuing an ethical partnership to process my credit card payments. We will not be making Jack Dorsey any more money while he’s actively firing workers.
Rep. Garcia: “A survivor that has made serious accusation and allegations against not just Jeffrey Epstein but also against President Trump…We have seen the DOJ files and the archive manifest that clearly shows that the interviews and information around this survivor have been removed."
They have every choice, actually.
And we have the choice not to support them moving forward, too, if they proceed.

Ruling sheds a small light on opaque intel-gathering on some citizenship seekers. An Garda Síochána “has developed strong links with other security services, particularly those with whom the State shares common threats to national security”, it says.

I was sent that Citrini Research piece on Monday that The Guardian printed yesterday about the economic apocalypse that could be caused by AI in the very near term (2028). I've had a feeling of existential terror sense. Please tell me it's nonsense... www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
Latest ep of this podcast dropped today. Even if we weren’t sponsoring it’d be 1st pod on my rotation. Picked up many book, film, music recommendations from @sweetoblivion.bsky.social & @laurenmurphyjourno.bsky.social . Follow/listen. These things need support. podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/g...
On a pedestrian crossing. This is completely out of control. RIP to the seven people killed by motorists this weekend.
Yeah it sold out crazy quickly.
Thank you!
I’ve said it many times before but time to say it again. A massive thanks to the good people @foggynotions.bsky.social for bringing #Stereolab to the concert hall last night. It was fantastic. Those going to see them in Whelan’s tomorrow night are in for a real treat.
