You may have missed this gem yesterday. From which we learn that:
1. Betting shops are really good for the mental health of isolated people.
2. Most drug-takers are not a problem.
3. Kids put tuppence in slot machines in the hope of getting rich.
4. Farage probably has a gambling industry donor.

I made a “how do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme.
So “how do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of “how do you do, fellow kids?”

People who are not single.
Please do not patronise single people who want to meet someone by giving 'advice'.
Just don't do it.
The way you met you partner was pure luck, Just like everyone else

Really REALLY important that everyone who enjoys #SpéirGhorm goes through these settings and toggles the switch to enable 'rude' posts. Tis a rare one of us who doesn't have a colourful tongue.
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.
First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

My council colleague Paddy Monahan and I made a short video about an unsafe junction in Whitehall in Dublin. Yet again, #motonormativity putting our kids in danger. We’re working to get this fixed before someone gets hurt. #speirgorm #ActiveTravel #StreetsAreForPeople

There is something fascinating about the amount of goodwill that exists for DJ Carey vs the amount of goodwill that exists for Catríona Carey. And we all know why that is.

The DARTs were an absolute shitshow yesterday. A journey that should have taken one hour, took me 2.5 hours and three modes of transport (including an expensive taxi journey) because public transport in this country DOES NOT WORK. And what makes it so much worse is the utter lack of information.
