Back in March I wrote about Minister Browne's aversion to targets. Unfortunately it remains relevant today. Specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and timely targets are ESSENTIAL to any goal. A plan without these elements is just a gamble #spéirgorm

Translation: Because accountability brings us out in hives.
“Why is there no annual targets in this plan?”
“Because we are focused on activation,” Minister for Housing James Browne says.
“We want to get away from yearly targets,” he adds.

Something being missed a bit in the coverage of Ryanair's shift to "100% digital" boarding (which it's not) is that they are actually limiting other digital formats and favouring only their app for access to passes, which isn't a neutral utility but a data collecting e-commerce machine.

The biggest hinder to solving Ireland's housing crisis is not finaincing, or planning law, or judicial reviews - it's that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael don't want to.
Again if you find yourself wondering about things like Judicial review because politicians and some right wing journos say this is the reason we can’t get things done, just remember this is complete bollix and the real reason is lobbyists, lobbyists, lobbyists and politicians who become lobbyists.

Last year I did a Middle Aged Man Gift Guide and Advice Thread on Mastodon.
Middle Aged Men are difficult to think of gifts for- it is why there are so many jokes about just getting them socks.
But even Middle Aged Men have gift dreams- even if they don’t know what they are themselves.
