It's an interesting point you make, Kirstie. I can't speak for Michael, of course, but my view is that you need to fuck off and mind your own business

90%of my 8km commute to work is on off road cycle infrastructure from Knocklyon to Rathgar thanks to recent investment in infrastructure. 25 minutes relatively stress free. 👍
Talking about the benefits of active transport is as well and good, but what really makes the difference is the infrastructure.

Build it and they will come!

Let's get moving Dublin!
Dublin has all the ingredients to be a world-class cycling city, but we need a real shift in thinking, ambition, and action.

We need to move from talking the talk to walking (and cycling) the walk.

Because as is, this is what it feels like to cycle in Dublin 👎

Got an email from Amazon to be part of their invite only "Brands of Ireland" campaign which apparently aims to help businesses for Black Friday, Christmas etc. Sounds nice but Amazon is a killer of small businesses and they can fuck Black Friday. Buy independent and buy local when you can.

Imagine being these world leaders and experienced diplomats and just having to sit there and listen to this maniac talking absolute dangerous bollocks for hours. It’s sometimes hard to believe this is real life.
Trump to the UN: "I have to say, I look at London where you have a terrible mayor -- terrible terrible mayor -- and it's been so changed, so changed. Now they want to go to Sharia Law ... both their immigration and their suicidal energy ideas will be the death of Western Europe."

I've posted about this several times. Many large & obscenely profitable companies are firing the workers who put them in this position for AI. We can resist. All of these businesses rely on consumption. We can make less worse choices. They're coming for peoples jobs and we're enabling them.
