Galway cyclists seek a ‘safe space’ four years on from collapse of Salthill project ‘You are caught between parked cars where you could be ‘doored’ at any moment, or fast-moving traffic’

In February 2022, I was out protesting for a cycle path along the Salthill promenade.

Consultation matters. Community engagement matters.

But four years to come up with a plan for a short cycle path and some other basic upgrades? That’s not engagement, that’s politician inertia, that's paralysis.

Filed a column for The Mayo News today expressing my bewilderment that this government is completely ignoring the flood mitigation potential of our wetlands and native forests. Flood defence schemes are just band-aids now. Hadn't seen this, but would have referenced it if I had, it's excellent.

Superb

FFS Leeson, not again!

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

If he carries on like this it's going to make the FIFA Peace Prize look ridiculous

Happy New Year Sam!

[T]he greatest efforts made by the defeated insurgents since the close of the war have been to promulgate the idea that the cause of liberty, justice, humanity, equality, and all the calendar of the virtues of freedom, suffered violence and wrong when the effort for southern independence failed. This is, of course, intended as a species of political cant, whereby the crime of treason might be covered with a counterfeit varnish of patriotism, so that the precipitators of the rebellion might go down in history hand in hand with the defenders of the government, thus wiping out with their own hands their own stains; a species of self-forgiveness amazing in its effrontery, when it is considered that life and property—justly forfeited by the laws of the country, of war, and of nations, through the magnanimity of the government and people—was not exacted from them.

General reminder of the words of proud son of Virginia, Major-General George H Thomas. The "Rock of Chickamauga". Who, unlike Lee, stayed loyal to the Union.

Post-war he had views on 'Lost Cause' and the damage it would do to America, unchecked.

A “counterfeit varnish of patriotism” he called it.

What happened to having a piss and minding your own business?

Hup

We only need one golf course in this entire country. Have you seen how empty they always are? What a waste of space. Choose one to keep, turn the rest into rewilded nature reserves.

BBC News: "the government believe refugees are deliberately bringing their children to avoid deportation"

As opposed to doing what with their children??

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Attempted murder at IPAS centre.

That would certainly cap off this exchange nicely

The girl and the tuba meme, with me the girl against the wall, her head in the horn of the tuba, the Irish media as the girl holding the tuba, and presidential non-runner Maria Steen as the tuba being blared in my face ad nauseum.

Sum up #Aras25 media coverage in one pic.

louis theroux is known for documenting every single type of person. from pornstars to literal sieg heiling neo-nazi's. he's never lost any sponsorships bc we all know that is what he does

but now suddenly BA is pulling funding after interviewing a pro-palestinian voice. its all so obvious, lol

Catherine Connolly got more votes than any other president in history - any pol corr or commentator trying to convince you that the story is actually the spoiled votes is showing you their whole arse, and should be treated accordingly.

King Prince Charles is visiting the Vatican today, presumably to request Prince Andrew be moved to a different parish after some trouble.

He should be aware of his own personal safety and take steps to be as safe as possible at all times.

Bloody hell.. you missing the Raiders yet Tashan

Elon Musk’s Utterly Mundane Vision of Dining The Tesla Diner looks a lot like what we already have, just weirder and worse.

I doubt the observation is unique to me, but it's funny how it's always "women should simply fight the pain" and not "men should simply fight the flaccid penis"...

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.
