I must find a new pinned post. Woah. Maybe this is it? Maybe this the best post I’ve ever posted? Maybe I need to add an image of something? Hang on, let me look… aye ok, so this is what Donegal looks like. And now this is a fabulous post. Hashtags? OK, erm… #Donegal #PinnedPost #Mountains Sin é.
Wondering if Enterprise Ireland will do me a start-up loan for my entrepreneurial business idea… the automatic, wide-bore, extreme-range Burke howitzer. It’s powered by cow farts so it’s green and eco-nice and it can fire any variety of Burke ammunition at least 270kms in to the North Atlantic.

People just have no concept of how damn fast the tide comes in there. You see a completely clear causeway and the sea apparently miles away and think "I can make that easy". Next wave brings the entire tide! Those of us who grew up playing on local beaches have sacrificed many items to the sea!

This car was first registered in 1992 and now all this is all that’s left. Peugeot or perhaps Talbot, I reckon. And my #actuallyautistic self sees this most mornings and wonders how long it would take to find all the other bits and rebuild it.

Most of the injuries occurred as people tried to get as far away as possible from The Square…
The number of patients attending the emergency department at Tallaght University Hospital with injuries sustained in e-scooter accidents almost doubled in one year, a new study has found

E-scooter injuries at Tallaght Hospital nearly doubled in a single year
A new study also found that alcohol-related crashes have risen and helmet use remains “critically low”.

Gerry Rafferty is on the speaker. I spent the night in his London flat with a lovely woman from New Jersey. She was gay so nothing untoward happened despite my best endeavours. Or maybe that was another night? Anyhow we drank a lot of Red Stripe and smoked a lot of weed. 1985. Those were days.

The Basic Income for the Arts: This is not what was promised
Despite the Government fanfare, the new basic income is a stalled, flimsier version of what it should be.

The 2020s was a decade when the men owning tech companies were exactly the wrong sort of men who should be running tech companies and the politicians governing countries were precisely the wrong sort of politicians who should be governing. Then came the rapture and we guillotined all of them.

Oh hang on now. I’d find it really difficult to tell one Fianna Fáiler from another at the best of times so it’s not that inaccurate.

One of the pups, Connie, likes to find things I’ve touched or worn and snuggle up with them if I’m not immediately available for scritches. I saw her going into the living room with something yellow in her mouth. Couldn’t work out what it was. She came back into the kitchen sharpish…

For the autistic worker, we’re told this is a “personal disorder.” But it’s not. It’s the physical result of a system that treats human labour as a uniform, interchangeable commodity. If you can’t be standardised, you’re marked as defective.

3 weeks to decide, 9 months salary to choose to leave - almost certainly forever - the industry you've dedicated most of your adult life to.
'If they choose to take up the Voluntary Severance Scheme, open to all academic staff in the School of Humanities and the School of Modern Languages, staff essentially make themselves redundant in return for a good pay-out.'
9 months' pay; 3 weeks to decide. 1/3

AI seems to be a hot topic. Just for the record, I reckon it is just Tulips, South Seas, Snake Oil, Cold Fusion and NFTs all over again. Only this time every AI image on Facebook is catastrophic for the climate and environment, and if we’re really fucking honest, is almost certainly killing people.

PSA. If you come to Iceland as a tourist and rent a car, do not attempt to drive across the empty highlands by yourself in winter.
You’ll just get your car stuck in snow where there is no cell service and have to walk 10 km to call for help in -18, like these German tourists did yesterday.
