This so much!

Parents (usually mothers) in car-centric areas are forced to chauffeur their kids around. It also means they emphasize predictable, scheduled activities (like sports leagues) that cost money.

Youth mobility gives kids freedom, saves money, and reduces the unpaid-labor burden on women

Tá ríméad ar mo mhaim freisin, níos mó ná orm féin fiú. Cuireann an tUachtarán focail agus filíocht ar rudaí a thuig mo mhaim sa smior. Mothaíonn mé gar do na glúinte a bhí romhainn agus na glúinte atá le teacht.

Seo spioraid. Cén toradh a bheidh aici?

It appears that hockey might have its origins in hurling, brought to Canada by Irish immigrants and adapted to the cold.

Prioritising youth mobility is prioritising adult relaxing.

When kids can walk/roll safely and independently to SPORTS TRAINING, you can enjoy some peaceful time to yourself.

We were told the interchange would cost €100 million and solve the congestion and tailbacks.

It cost €225 million, and it didn't.

The people who were 100% wrong about this – and blew 9 figures of public money on it – have a new suggestion.

Bhí cara liom (as Indreabhán) ar an raidió (Béarla) nuair a bhí muid ≈19 agus dúirt an láithreoir "deacair" léi agus níor thuig sí í mar is "jacker" agus ní "deocair" a dúirt sí.

Mar sin, tuigim an ceann seo go pointe áirithe.

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

The world speed record, which still stands, was set by a train à grande vitesse (TGV) in 2007, when it topped out at 574.8 km/h (357 mph).

But commercial operating speeds in #France are 320 km/h.
