Has Guinness now achieved its own taxon?
An advertising board seen at an airside bar in Dublin airport. A blue background with white print and images. Bounded by a brassy coloured metallic framing. There are ideograms for three types of alcoholic drinks each with an arrow pointing the same way with text for each one. Top to bottom reads GUINNESS, WINE, DRAFT BEER. Noting that DRAFT is an American English spelling, locally the usual spelling would be DRAUGHT. Do like (not) a bit of cultural imperialism!

This, in a Boots pharmacy in Drimnagh, Dublin.
Anyone know if there are any specific EU or Irish laws governing this usage of bodycams?
The poster QR code only refers back to Boots UK corporate privacy conditions.
Photo of a poster seen in a Boots Pharmacy in Drimnagh, Dublin, Ireland. It warns that body cams may be worn by staff and your interaction with them can be recorded. There is a QR code which connects to a Boots.Com website which explains the Boots.co.uk privacy considerations. There is no EU or Irish specific explanation. The main text of the poster reads: Stop! Live monitoring. Colleague-worn bodycams are being operated in this store. Video and audio is being used when required, for the welfare and safety of ALL our customers and colleagues. If you have any concerns please speak to a member of staff or refer to our privacy policy.

Fixed it for you, again.
An altered screenshot of the view of the map image shown in the quoted Medium article. The Medium article shows (mostly) the Celtic Archipelago (the island of Ireland and the island of Great Britain and a bit of France). Terf island is known to refer to the island of Great Britain alone. I have altered the map to show this.

FWIW I believe many many GB people don't stand with TERFS and are unfairly tarred by the Terf Island slur.
But maps is maps!
The Medium image of the Celtic archipelago with the island of Ireland crudely blocked out. Also blocked out the bit of France that was showing.

Me: Have you thought about colleges?
Them: Wanna go to Skibidi School!
Me:?
A shop window display found in Zandaam, the Netherlands on a recent visit there. Theres 6 panels of graphs, with text in four of them. The text in the boxes is skibidi school. This is repeated twice in one panel. Like you I am at a loss to understand what is going on here. It's definitely a back to school thing as it coincides with back to school season in the Netherlands. 🇳🇱 😊 Go oranjes!

Remember your homeland's heritage
A picture of a pack of analgesic sold over the counter (any shop) in Ireland up to the 70's. I bought many as a teenager. Folded paper contained a white powder, I kid you not. Didn't see the like until I was buying coke in the 80's. The print says: Mrs Cullen's Powders for Headache Neuralgia Colds Flu & C Directions-Place a Powder on the tongue and wash down with a little water or milk.

You can get an ID & information about any licensed drone using a phone app. (if its in range). I guess you could then follow up with a GDPR request.
What Is Remote ID? Remote ID acts as a 'digital license plate' for drones. It transmits identifying information, such as the drone operator's registration number, the drone's location, height and flight path, as well as the remote pilot's location, making it visible to authorities and nearby individuals. This transparency ensures responsible drone use and helps prevent unauthorised flights. The Irish context: Anyone operating a drone with a camera or weighing over 250 grams, except for toy drones, must register with the IAA. They are then required to both clearly display their registration number on their drone and upload it onto the drone's Direct Remote ID. Remote ID broadcasts essential information, including the operator registration number, the drone's serial number, current location, elevation, speed, and the location of the remote pilot or take-off point. This information can be captured by any smart phone in range over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, using several freely available apps, for example DroneScanner, OpenDronelD and Air Sentinel among a range of others. Reporting. Members of the public who believe a drone is operating illegally should report their concerns to either An Garda Síochána or the IAA. The IAA

The Treachery of Images.
The infamous image of Donald Trump as the Pope. There is a line of text added over the original image which reads ' Ceci n'est pas un Président'. It references the famous painting by Belgian surrealist artist René Magritte, 'The Treachery Of Images'. The one of the pipe.

I was really affected by this short book by Louise Glück, 'Marigold and Rose'. It narrates their infant lives as seen through them.
I came to it when my kids were adults and I wished I had read it before they were even born!
“Marigold was absorbed in her book; she had gotten as far as the V. Rose didn’t care for books. She particularly disliked books of the kind Marigold was presently reading, in which animals substituted for people. Rose was a social being. Rose liked activities in which people figured. Like baths. She liked being soaped all over by Mother or Father and then being rinsed until she was spotless. Usually something would be exclaimed on. Her silky skin. Her beautiful eyes with their dark lashes. But to be left out as she was now, to be unnecessary—this she did not like. I am not just spotless, she thought to herself. I am also stripeless. Marigold was still reading. Of course she wasn’t reading; neither of the twins could read; they were babies. But we have inner lives, Rose thought.” — Marigold and Rose: A Fiction by Louise Glück https://read.amazon.co.uk/kp/kshare?asin=B0BH85KRZS&id=s3tg43zeifbplhbrxfwqrv2rya

This was his response to my general election mail.
Thank you for taking the time to email me. Equality and human rights are core values of Sinn Féin. We believe that healthcare is a fundamental human right, and should be accessible to everyone regardless of their gender or sexual identity. We believe that transgender people have a right to gender recognition and the best support and care possible. Sinn Féin recognises that healthcare should be driven by appropriately qualified and regulated clinical professionals, not politicians, and that care should be made available to transgender people based on clinical evidence, including access to gender affirming treatment for adults. There is a clinical review of the model of care for gender identity underway. The new model of care must be based on a complete review. Clinical pathways and treatment options must be determined by clinicians, and the type of care a person receives is a private matter for them and their family or support network as appropriate.

Here's one I made earlier! Initially stated that it didn't recognise the idiom, until I updated it to being an 'old Irish idiom'.
The Irish idiom "all tea and no leaf" means someone or something is full of empty talk, grand gestures, and promises, but delivers nothing substantive or meaningful; it's all appearance and no substance. It suggests someone is focusing on the exterior and not the real value or meaning of something. This is my made up idiom and request to Google AI to explain it. Like an eager to please student it bullshits out a rubbish made up answer.
