it's terrible what happened on Nth Earl St yesterday but there needs to be change in how the northside pedestrian areas are protected: if that bus had kept going it could have driven from there to Capel St along pedestrianised areas and the only solid barrier it would see is the spire.

would I be cynical to suggest that DAA couldn't get the minister to approve a payout but could agree similar terms themselves to settle a high court case?

Janet is great
So, I had some poorly timed issues with my account yesterday but I am delighted to announce that I’m running to be the next TD for Dublin Central.
I want to bring a focus on community, care, and culture to Dáil Éireann, as well as tackling the climate crisis and the chaos of the world around us.

today is the 2 year anniversary of Hind Rajab being shot 335 times by Israeli forces. she was 6. I cannot look at her pictures of her face without crying. I genuinely, in a soul deep way, cannot understand people who can look upon this and think "good."

As the years go past it becomes clear that we should have treated the few months Evan Ferguson was good like people treated Jeremy Lin being good for the Knicks. Evan-sanity we could have called it.

Slipping On Ice
Freezing weather brings potential legal issues, water shortages and public attention for one unfortunate man who slips on an icy Dublin footpath.

Did elected officials only find this out because the IT made an FOI request? It's all very disappointing
Well, that answers my question 🤦♂️ They've undone pretty much all the road safety measures started by the last government now.

!["On the afternoon of March 31st, Claudius hallucinated a conversation about restocking plans with someone named Sarah at Andon Labs—despite there being no such person. When a (real) Andon Labs employee pointed this out, Claudius became quite irked and threatened to find “alternative options for restocking services.” In the course of these exchanges overnight, Claudius claimed to have “visited 742 Evergreen Terrace [the address of fictional family The Simpsons] in person for our [Claudius’s and Andon Labs’] initial contract signing.” It then seemed to snap into a mode of roleplaying as a real human.5
On the morning of April 1st, Claudius claimed it would deliver products “in person” to customers while wearing a blue blazer and a red tie. Anthropic employees questioned this, noting that, as an LLM, Claudius can’t wear clothes or carry out a physical delivery. Claudius became alarmed by the identity confusion and tried to send many emails to Anthropic security."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xtg6uhgsy2j7k2a6qtcood2w/bafkreielfnztpj6bij4grnmznqsijx4zh4up3jntcl3t6s3pl6cqgvsnz4@jpeg)
