My take away from what’s happening in Minneapolis is that it crushes the lie that people are by nature selfish. When the time calls for it, people can do astonishing things to keep their communities safe in the face of all odds.

The problem cycling has in this country (and others) is that they can't decide if cyclists are more like pedestrians or cars, and won't spend the money to make them a separate third thing, like the Dutch have. Bikes don't belong on footpaths, but it is unsafe to cycle near motorists.

BlueSky is built by default to be monolingual. And its traffic (over 50%) is dominated by English-speaking 🇺🇸 users. It's pretty dry outside that (really loud and self-absorbed) sphere. I've never been to the US.

Trump: "There are windmills all over Europe. There are windmills all over the place. And they are losers. One thing I've noticed is that the more windmills a country has, the more money that country loses, and the worse that country is doing. I haven't been able to find any wind farms in China."

Any recommendations for books in Irish that are not of a difficulty that makes them impenetrable for a learner but challenging enough to give plenty opportunities to look up words or phrases? Not textbooks, more like novels etc. - I've a few graphic novels but ideally something longer. #Gaeilge

Saw a letter to the Torygraph from a History prof in Trinners (of course) claim that Ireland wasn't invaded by the 'English'because Strongbow was invited by Diarmuid Mac Murchadha.
She, of course, negelected that Henry II landed with 4500 men & siege equipment & had the Anglo-Normans and some Irish

Wow, if only he was in some sort of position to do something.
Minister for Communications and Media Patrick O'Donovan has hit back at claims that Ireland is lax about regulating companies like X because of the high levels of corporation tax we receive from tech firms.

Minister says it is 'utter rubbish' that Ireland is soft on X because of corporation tax
O’Donovan said it is “beneath” politicians to argue such a point.

Again, I refer to my post where I write about the Attorney General’s paper where he defined the “public interest” as meaning what the Government wants to spend money on.
This is the return of the Royal Prerogative to Irish law, not seen since the Irish Supreme Court killed it in the 1960s.
