It's like many of the stories of 1st and 2nd generation post-famine Irish who became major figures in baseball. Interesting stories at a surface level about emigration and overcoming hardship, and then you read more about people like this guy

New EV registrations in Ireland, January to October 2025. Tesla models are number 2 and 4 in the top 20 best-selling EVs. What is it that people here love about those awful cars?

€2 in the local charity shop and one of the best things I've read in an age. You can't beat the book circular economy

And as well as moving further away from Vision Zero on fatalities, the uptick in serious injuries (as reported by the RSA) is extremely worrying

MLB all-time World Series winners as GAA teams:

Yankees = Kerry. Historically dominant, sometimes hit a rough patch with no titles which causes supporters to act like the world is ending.

St. Louis = Dublin. Relatively strong record recently along with historical pedigree.

It's upsetting to see a chart like this. A radical overhaul of Ireland's approach to road safety is needed, centred on education, enforcement, and design

Every time there's a Wolves managerial vacancy I check the Jorge Mendes client list to see who's currently available. This is it as right now. IIRC Walter Zenga was one as well

A final favourite thing from the Munch museum: a set of 8 photo 'selfies' taken in 1930. Absolutely knew his good side did Edvard, the old rogue

For the weekend that's in it it was also cool to see his 'Love and Pain' aka 'Vampire'

Spent a few hours today in the Munch museum in Oslo. Cool to see The Scream in person but hooboy his 'Anxiety' is absolutely unnerving

Remember a designer called Aris Venetikidis came up with a concept map for Dublin's transport network around 10 years ago, something like this should be an essential part of the BusConnects deployment

Going to the pub after work on a Friday and having pints with a few platters of food to share.
