Errr... 👀 Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council An Garda Síochána

Update: they have now banned us from speaking Irish (the official language of an EU state) and told us we’re not allowed to be anywhere near the Bundestag

I just checked out 30 accounts that liked a bitchy tweet about Roderic O'Gorman & ALL 3O had
*US location.
*Female profile pic & first name only.
*@ = First name Bunchanumbers.
*Banner picture of the sea.
*0 Followers, 10-15 follows.
That seems unlikely to be a coincidence tbh.

Remember we were informed by Garda management that they were not policing far right intimidation & violence as that was the smart thing to do

Why did they think they were so clever?

I imagine they believed the far right would just go away on their own

Not even 24 hrs after making history as the first company to mass fire workers for pro-Palestine protests, google announced that the “(ir)responsible AI org” they announced after firing me, is now reporting up the Israeli office.

Clearly backing this genocide seems priority.

The people of Dublin told everyone the morning after the disaster what had happened, and yet it took more than 40 years to get this verdict - many relatives passed on in the meantime, as have some of those responsible.
This might be justice, but it didn't have to take this long.

Google literally sent a blatant threat letter to every single one of its employees after firing 28 people for protesting its $1.2B israel contracts

“if you’re 1 of the few who are tempted to think we’re going to overlook conduct that violates our policies, think again”

What $7,000,000,000,000 a year in fossil fuel subsidies buys you.

The Berlin police have banned people from speaking languages other than English or German at public events, in a racist attempt to crack down on Arabic. I’ll be at the Bundestag tomorrow using what I can remember of my Leaving Cert Irish to protest this. Join if you can!

Death will come for all of us.

Personally, I'd rather go at 88 having hit a pothole on my bike after a few glasses of strong Dutch beer, than die at 89 having spend a decade hidden away, manhandled, and patronised in a care home like we do to our old people in the U.K.

Kate is incredible and has tirelessly carried Google's child safety work since joining. This is not only a blatantly illegal firing of a worker protesting unjust policies, it's also an enormous loss that makes their products less safe for kids.

Disgusting behaviour from Google.

It was a pleasure to meet Anthony Fauci today, to welcome him to University College Dublin
and to share our experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic.

It can now be reported for the first time how Stardust manger Eamon Butterly tried to stop the jury from being able to return a verdict of unlawful killing.

This ended up in the High Court on Holy Thursday - I was there, and it was extremely dramatic:

4 yrs ago a @stanford team asserted the pre-vaccine COVID IFR=0.17%
The results are in.
With that IFR, 1.2 million US COVID deaths would imply 690 M infections.
BUT, the vaccine reduces IFR by 60-90%, which implies 1.3 to 2.5 BILLION infections.
HOW DID THEY GET IT SO WRONG?

Busy footpath and cycle lane, beside a couple of schools, but sure if a builder decides that he couldn't possibly impact other drivers, this is what happens.

StickyBottle.com 💚 🚲 Just Google 'driver blinded by sun & cyclist'. Loads of innocent lives shattered because drivers won't slow down when they can't see where they are going. It's ridiculous and shouldn't be accepted in mitigation.

Some thoughts from this morning on the common motorist misconception that they follow the law while cyclists break it. At least in Ireland about 90% of both groups ignore traffic laws they feel to be meaningless & unlikely to be enforced. Risk is however very different

Took a trip from Knocknacarra to Salthill the other day. Here's a picture thread about what makes simple essential trips like this possible by bike. And how we could easily make these trips normal for #KidsOnBikes

The emissions from small-scale peat mining has, for the first time, been added to our national emissions inventory... and they nearly *double* the emissions from other 'managed' peatland sources...

Mining for domestic fuel is a significant source of GHGs
