11am Saturday and rain continues in parts of East and midlands. Video taken just now at Powerscourt waterfall shows the volume of rain coming down off the Wicklow Mountains with a lot of reports of flooding coming in.

My favourite Hiberno-English-ism isn't any of the obvious ones, it's the fact that when we say "sallow" we mean the opposite of what everyone else means. It's not sickly yellow, it's healthy, positive

Films: We need to hack a keycard, obtained by seducing one of the guards. We then need to drop in from the skylight after jumping from a plane, and dodge all of the lasers and traps, carefully switching the jewels for fakes that weigh the same to avoid tripping the alarm.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Spiders capable of climbing vertical walls often have specialized furry 'toes' called 'claw tufts’: where thousand of microscopic hairs (setules) protrude from each hair shaft.
This allows the spider to use Van der Waals' force to adhere to any surface. It is also, objectively, cute.

After three years of a car-free Capel Street, central area councillors have expressed a broad consensus that it has been a massive success with only some limited issues. A written report presented to councillors outlines that work on Phase 2 of the interim measures on Capel Street commenced in September 2024 and is due to be completed in Q2 2025. The council said that these works include additional build-outs, resin-bound surfacing, seating and planting in the ground as well as in planters.
