Brilliant to see @npwsireland.bsky.social staff in Killarney feel they're now making serious progress re invasive rhododendron and sika deer in the park.
But what about the feral goats?? The place is swarming with them, one of the world's *worst* invasive species.

Yesterday, I returned from 3 weeks in Costa Rica, where I went to find out what can be learned from their spectacular success rewilding a country.
I cannot overstate how awe-inspiring the trip was: nature loss CAN be reversed on a huge scale, benefiting *everyone*.

I have to take an annual fire safety training for work, and I am reminded that I asked some of the folks who manage these things how they evacuate the NICU and apparently they have vests you can load up with babies

Yeah, and we didn't prosecute the ring leader either. As a matter of fact, we just put him in the White House. Nothing makes sense anymore.

I'd happily pay higher Local Property Tax if the money offset rates and other costs for enterprises of cultural value like bookshops, cinemas, heritage (non-franchise) cafes and youth clubs.
I think many homeowners would, but politicians seem to think we want tiny tax cuts.

No joke: The ill-considered, lightning fast adoption of these faulty technologies across different sectors of society is nothing less than a mass cult conversion. It's the Kool Aid at scale, and we're treating it like a nice calming cup of green tea
An AI answering service took a message from me for my doctor the other day.
The medical receptionist called me the next day because the AI service wasn’t able to give them a coherent message.
This is at a CARDIOLOGIST’s office, by the way.

It's also shit for the voters of Kildare South, who have been under represented for the last 10 years. Should be term limits for the Ceann Comhairle.

And I'm sorry, but with so many now claiming the Greens "punched above their weight in government", it has to be said:
One Green minister drafted a forestry plan that was mostly about ramping up sitka, while another Green minister insisted sheep graze a national park.

One image goes a long way to explaining why Ireland is among the most nature-wrecked places on Earth: sheep + sitka.

The idea that FFG need to give concessions to Labour or the Soc Dems is a nothing but pie in the sky wishcasting.
The last time the Greens negotiated hard they got a PfG that was full of vague commitments around social justice commitments that ultimately meant their demise.

I would politely suggest that officialdom in Irish Education (particularly the support services!) migrate their material and updates from X to here. It is so unfair that teachers are forced to engage with that platform in an effort to be informed. #edchatie
