Random moment with Raven. October sunshine.

Judging from some of the outrage comments tagged to various videos on U-tube about the consent ad, it would appear that the Ukrainians have some work to do with regards to blowing up more Russian data-centers.

irishexaminer.comCiarán Cannon: No, Seán Canney, 'everybody' is not responsible for road deathsAs road deaths rise, the Government dropped planned reforms of the RSA and increased public transport fares — and now the minister seems to be disavowing political responsibility, writes Ciarán Cannon

Today a man high on meth juggling chainsaws in a childrens' playground killed 2 and injured 10. Commenting on the tragedy, Sean Canney says it's the responsibility of everyone using playgrounds to look after their own safety.

www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm... Ciarán Cannon nails it in this article. Canney is the worst road safety minister we’ve ever had. He still uses “accidents” in interviews (including when responding to the recent appalling, deliberate wrong-way motorway collision).

Burnham says that he's been informed (presumably by UK intelligence) that Russia interfered with the Brexit referendum. However, successive Tory governments said that there was no evidence of Russia interference. Can Burnham find out & tell us if the Tories were given the same info he was.

According to the billionaire tech bros AI will cure cancer, usher in wealth for everyone, 3-day work weeks, free-health care for everyone. It'll only cost us trillions, all the water. Sure it might also kill us all, but that's a price they're willing to pay.

Instead of that, how about we redistribute the wealth, invest in science, education, health care, social services & by doing so achieve all the above points without killing the entire planet. Also, outlaw wealth hoarding.

Just to check... if I continue to use Dell computers for a few decades, will I end up looking like that also? 🙁 On a human level you gotta feel some sympathy for her.

The US is a failed state. They're going to live-stream an execution by firing squad of a guy in a chair. Just to note that James Connolly was also executed by firing squad & he was also in a chair, Bcoz he was also unable to stand.

The 1916 rising initially had tepid support at best, but the revulsion at the execution of Connolly in part resulted in increased sympathy & support for the rebels & which ultimately led to the war of independence.

For the love of jebus, can we please, for the ove of Odin do something about the amount of lights on everywhere all fuking night long. Having access to a dark sky should be a human right. Freedom to roam, especially for kids, that's another one where society has utterly failed.

I see I invoked Jebus & Odin. I only noticed that now. Feck it. The more the merrier! Apophis, Lug, Ranginui, Tangaroa, Unkulunkulu, Nuwa, Jupiter, Zeus, Benzaiten, Vishnu, Cautantowwit, Grud, Crom, Danu, Dirawong, Marduk & any others who wish, can also join in.

There should be extra penalties/fines for driving & using a phone whilst you have minors in your car. How people do this & risk their kids lives is utterly alien to me. €200 for each offence for each child in the car.

I think being fined/sanctioned for this offence wil carry weight in general. 'Oh look, there goes Ms Garcia / Mr Fischer. They had to go to court and were fined because they risked their kid's life'.

JFC, what the hell is with the beatification of Obama by many people on bluesky. Obama did fuk-all of any consequence to tackle the environmental & biodiversity collapse. Obama carried out more extra-judicious killings than any previous president, paving the way for Trump to do even same.

He didn't start it but Obama continued to deal with all the lobbyists allowing for the corruption of democracy, also paving the way for Trump to do even more. Did he do anything about the injustice of Gaza? No

I'm sure on a personal level he's just a regular person & not an utter fuking nutjob like Trump, but just because he's better than Trump doesn't make him anything to write home about.

Random moment with Raven. By the sea.

Schmitt: Did you, or did you not partake in the stabbing of Julius Caeser? Smith: No, that was Brutus, and he was a Republican.

Well, well, well, it seems as if the appeal by convicted rapist McGregor, has fallen apart after two new witnesses (supposedly offering evidence to support convicted rapist McGregor) have been arrested for perjury.

All the kudos to Gavin Bazuna. Well done that man. National hero.

Random moment with Raven. Backlit by the full moon.

@labeler.urbanism.plus Why have I been given the label of anti-e-bike? I'm anti illegal e-motorbikes and illegal e-scooters. I'm not anti legal pedelacs. So why have I been given a tag?

youtube.comWhy Ireland MUST Refuse to Play IsraelYouTube video by Tadhg Hickey

The players on the Irish football team need to make a decision separate from the FAI (Bcoz the FAI have chickened out) that they're going to boycott the matches with Israel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBJQ...

Random moment with Raven. Camping under a clear dark sky (tent frame at left of photo) and early the following morning.

I meant to include an annotated version of the 1st photo. Here it is.

For people who say: "when you know, you know"; fuck you.

18 Sept

The FAI and players need to have a hard think about what they do next. Trying to sheeranise their way through this isn't going to wash. Not now after what's happened recently. Wake the fuk up lads.

The hold Israeli state propoganda has on various governments (Germany, USA, etc) & public discourse is utterly bizarre. Singer: Let's not kill thousands of kids Weirdos: That's antisemitic!!! Also... Ed Sheeran: I need to think of the kids in my audience

15 Sept

There's been a lot of headlines recently about the assessed 10% chance of humanity being wiped out by AI. This is indeed something to be concerned about. Meanwhile there's a near 100% chance of humanity being wiped out by biodiversity collapse, climate breakdown, & environmental degradation. 💀

14 Sept

Is Mitch McConnell still AWOL? Are democrats still not holding anyone accountable for answers? Are investigative journalists in the US still not doing their job? JFC, the US is a failed state.

Thanks be to Odin. A post about a healthy doggo. No one about someone's dog that just died.

Random moment with Raven. A day in the hills. (Appropriately, the gulch immediately behind Raven is called Ravens' Glen).

So gas & electricity prices are going up from next month (9.1% & 10.6%) Bcoz of "influences outside of our control" Given the international situation that's kinda believable. However, why the fuk are standing charges also going up??? 😡

While I was stopped at the this location (Bunny Lake), a guy unwittingly drove off this ramp. The underside of his van made a horrible scrunching noise. He wanted 2drive right up to the edge of the water &didn't see the drop-off. 🙄 I wasn't wearing my Hi-Hiz at the time. Luckily he missed me.

Germans who vote for the AfD are utter morons. Putin was a KGB officer in Dresden when the Berlin wall came down. He thinks the collapse of the Soviet union was the greatest geopolitical catastophe of the 20th century (ie worse than WW1 & WW2).

His plan to restore the Russian empire most definitely includes subjugating all of Germany once again. The AfD think Putin is their friend. Germans who vote for the AfD are voting for subjugation & repression & terror by Russia. Germans who vote for the AfD are morons.

This is a huge problem in Ireland as well. Just last week I was driving along a motorway & checked the licence plates on 100 cars as they overtook me. 15 had illegal plates. Fonts too small to read properly at distance. Some with grey backgrounds to make it even more difficult to read plates.

The protestors in Dover. That's Russian subversion warfare. The irony of those taking part claiming to be patriots whilst in fact operating in a manner that favors a foreign enemy.

Random moment with Raven. In an old ash tree.

Where the fuk is Mitch McConnell?

1 Sept

Stopped at a local shop 3 school kids (about 10yo) came over to pat Raven. They then asked me why I had 2 cameras on my handlebars. I casually told them Bcoz drivers are always trying to kill me. Their eyes nearly popped out of their heads & their mouths opened wide like cartoon characters.

1 Sept

I suddenly realised that all their parents likely drive. As far as these kids are concerned, their parents are all normal people. So for their parents to try to kill me, I must be some sort of evil criminal scumbag. Cars are a pox on society.
