Just witnessed a terrible agitated and foul-mouthed racist taxi driver and I feel very bad that I was too scared to challenge him because I was stuck in his car and he was very aggressive. It felt a bit better to at least report it to this excellent tool from @inarireland.bsky.social : iReport.ie

one great mystery of our age is how the only way to motivate rich people to work is to give them loads of money for no reason but the only way to motivate poor people to work is to take away loads of their money for no reason

A good reminder that cycle lanes and footpaths don't appear congested as they (mostly) allow people to move through quickly and efficiently.
