Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

Meanwhile in Cork, we're removing our city centre bike bunkers.
Bike bunkers! One of my most common requests in inner city areas. Well, they're finally here. The contract has been signed and they're taking requests now. I'm off to apply for one!

Remember the media on about a Dublin derby final?
Remember the Pats supporters cheering when their name was drawn out to face us?
Because we do. It's been a miserable slog of a season, and it won't have a happy ending, but nights like tonight is why we do it. #ccfc84

In other versions they don't reveal their status when banished in the final end game. Much more exciting way to finish when there's always doubt. #TraitorsIRL
