Just saw the most American comment on YouTube

Ok. A lot of us were told that you couldn't say that american voters were racist they just had to vote racist on account of the price of gas. So let's see what happens next week.

It's just calendars. All the use cases are calendars.

Jesus! I just found out cllr Bill Clear joined Independent Ireland. The hell did he do that for??

Oh. I never thought it might have stolen my thesis. How do I check? Is the word chickends out in the world now? (Can't remember if I caught that typo before or after corrections)

Found this incredible project at the Green Party conference: Stitch their Names Hundreds of women stitching the names of the tens of thousands of Palestinians murdered by Israel. Red are women, Black are men, Green are kids. www.stitchtheirnamestogether.com

You let someone in when you are speaking to someone who doesn't have English as a first language. (Annoying habit of an otherwise delightful colleague.)

But they're using renewables! a) they're not, they're all quietly pivoting to dedicated natural gas plants, built by their oil buddies, b) renewables should be used to power useful shit c) this makes it so that renewables don't displace fossil fuels, they just add to supply for increasing demand

We gotta start referring to data centers by both their mother and father's last names, Spain style. The Microsoft-Chevron data center, the Meta-ExxonMobil data center, and so forth. Absolutely no reason just the tech bros should be taking the heat on this shit

This news is important because all the fucks out there actively attempting to wreck the world want you to think that the work is hopeless and just mitigating the worst case scenario. It's not. Fucking keep going.

Not good at all. But really important to know - and prepare for. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-sup...

The €1bn spent on fossil fuel sinces April would have put 8kw battery & solar on 100,000 homes buying them energy freedom for 20+ years. The €1bn+ that will be spent over the next few months would bring that to 250,000 homes. What we lack is will and vision

Out for a run yesterday. Saw a guy in a car on his phone at a junction. He was still on it as he turned into the main road. His window was down so I called out "Put your phone away!" Got a thumbs up. Success?

6 months of the year I have my retinas burned out of my head. I also find more and more people just driving along with their full beams on constant. Such is their ignorance, they don't switch them down when they get flashed.

I still think there is not a good awareness out there of just how much the AI industry plans to run off fossil fuels. This is a *conservative* estimate that excludes many planned projects. These are weak plans and they can be stopped. au.finance.yahoo.com/news/us-data...

Me: *Clicks Update and Shut Down* Laptop: "Restarting" Me: "Motherf....!"

They weren't confused. It's just that the acceptability of their level of racism hasn't arrived yet.

I just hate our spineless government so much! Only in it for themselves and for business interests.

Ok. I've just had my FOURTH incident of finding a spider on my person in the last 2 months. This time it was a giant house spider 😨 Previously, it was false widows. What the hell is going on?

So the guy was trying to pay attention to the meeting, the summary of the meeting and the reply suggestions all at the same time. Not surprised he got flustered and shared the wrong screen.

I see gmail is pretending there are new emails in the Updates and Promotions folder all the time now, on top of freaking out that my storage is 87% full after 23 years. Yeah. I'll get right on that...

A reminder, again, that Ireland has *chosen* not to take regulatory action against this abuse factory, whose office sits in Fenian Street in Dublin. I think this failure to act in the face of clear knowledge is an unforgivable act.

The 5 Simpsons lines I've uttered most off the top of my head 1. Willie hears ya. Willie doesn't care. 2. Do *I* know what rhetorical means?! 3. Like a little Rory Calhoon 4. See you in the car, Millhouse (with an eyebrow wiggle) 5. Ahhh. The hammock district

I don't have to create a profile and sign in to read my book. I don't need to remember a password. My book doesn't send me notifications. If someone next to me is reading a book and they put it down, I can pick it up and read it too without being in their account.

Sorry. No. We're just going to have to fix climate change. My skin is DESTROYED by the office air con. This is IRELAND. A window propped open when it's not raining should be ENOUGH!

Hook it to my veins

The news that you shouldn't crowd your powerpoint slides with text just hasn't filtered through 😭

#speirgorm Do we know if this woman is ok? I don't need to know who she is, just that she got away and is ok.

Why is this still a thing? Every year I ask and note that, in this case, it is 2026.

Ok. So do that

🚨 Irish solar generation dipped noticeably during the partial solar eclipse earlier this evening, bottoming out at just 8MW. Overlaying today's generation with yesterday's, we see a clear notch around 7pm when the eclipse was at its greatest 🌑 ⚡️ #SolarEclipse #SpeirGorm

Tell you what though. If I'm still around for the eclipse in 2090, I'm gonna look at it!

Ah lads. Too comments of "Oh but you should never mess with a fairy fort." They're not real either!

All 8 of them should be banned from driving for life. They were dumb enough to get into that car, they clearly have no road sense.

The state of the housing market. It's not that the toilet is *outside!* It's not even a nip across the yard. It's out the front door and round to the back of the house. ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND!

I need to re-up this to #Speirgorm This is the Limerick Leader using an AI generated image and attributing it to their photographer. WTF?!

So the priest had actual magic powers? Wow. I bet he did a lot for the community... Just the football curse, was it? But he must have healed a lot of sick... No? He only used his power to curse a football team. Just that one time. Sounds bang on for the catholic church in 1951 to be fair.

... and now we move on to liars. Ah no. Great speech. Top volume.

"Anybody in the economy"... We are a nation of citizens, it's our home, it's not simply an economy. Says much about how and for whom this country is governed
