Ireland’s performance on #climate mitigation is the worst in Europe and will still be the worst in 2030. In this infographic that’s measured by the size of the gap between the left of the green bar graph (cuts achieved) and the blue dot (2030 goal).

🚨 Half of all new cars registered in Ireland in September were fully electric (49.3%)! Car sales here are concentrated in January and July, so a single month is misleading, but I pulled out the BEV sales share for July-September sales for the past years: 2024 - 14% 2025 - 22% 2025 - 35% 📈↗️👆‼️

honestly, I give up: councillors will get behind a speculative process to allow people to close public roads so they can dig up the footpaths to install private car chargers but no support for similar (proven) mechanisms to allow children's street play for two hours priorities...

This is the complete antithesis of what should be happening in maternity care. Continuity of care should not be the first casualty of cutbacks. We need more continuity and more on the Domino scheme not less. www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster...

Very strange one tonight, I used Google Gemini AI to edit a photo, it asked if I wanted it animated (sure) but then the video *had my voice on it*. Not exactly but it's how I laugh and a pretty specific north Wicklow kind of accent. I don't voice prompt Gemini and it claims it's just a coincidence.

This event last night was unbelievable. Truly can’t believe how many people came out and just how passionate and energized people are here. Dublin and the people here are officially the greatest.

Listening to the inspirational @tomflood.bsky.social speak to a packed TCD theatre in Dublin last night I realised 1. We need to put children at the centre of our transport systems. GIVE KIDS THE FREEDOM TO CYCLE TO SCHOOL THE WAY WE USED TO

Striking similarities with earlier Danish elections. Swedish Social Democrats copy their Danish sisters and get the same result: while they lose, the left block wins.

One guy literally found my program with a prompt that included 'make me 50 usd make no mistakes'. Others have the AI look for bounty programs specifically and normally tackle software.

Strong solar yesterday -- over 10GWh, for the first time in weeks ☀️ So, it should be clear for tomorrow's partial eclipse! As the chart shows, generation will be on the wane by ~7.10pm when it reaches its peak. However, we should still be able to spot a dip in the graphs. Follow us for more! 🌑 📊

Got the bus to the zoo last weekend, then had to lead a group of tourists to cross the road into traffic because there is no pedestrian crossing to actually get from the bus stop to to the other side of the road where the zoo is
