Love ❤️ this section of the Blackrock greenway & the sweep down to the Marina. Frosty morning & a bunch of 🧍♀️🧍🧍♂️ on 🚲 going to work & school safely away from 🚗🚙. Getting a bit of fresh air & exercise. It's about 0°C/32°F at the time. We get almost everywhere within 15 mins because of this route.

I dont know how the Hoxton hotel saw this playing out but I'm guessing that the fact that it is now being called The Poxton is sub optimal for them.

The current irony of AI I see is that it is possible right now to use it to lighten loads in roles. If you did that you'd then be fired by HR for getting AI to do your job. But orgs are actively trying to use AI to reduce headcount which will result in AI doing your role.

The proposed LNG terminal in Ireland is quite simply a form of tribute to be paid to the US. It will not improve Ireland's energy security and will increase both CO2 emissions and consumer costs. Let's spend the money on decarbonisation instead (will our bosses in Washington let us?).
Government’s plan to import LNG for electricity generation would cost households and businesses up to $8.3bn
Same volume of electricity could be delivered through a $2.5b investment in rooftop solar panels and hot water heat pumps

Straight out of the Tories political strategy. Cut services then when General Election comes around tell people they're increasing those services they shredded. Cheers all round from the dumb voters who keep voting these FFG gowls in.

They have “This thing happened” ones and they have “That’s what I think, anyway” ones.
And, somehow, the That’s What I Think, Anyway ones have greater pay and prestige.
