Glad to see this out! Misinformation-Based Beliefs Can Have Behavioral Consequences A commentray on a thought-provoking article on belief-behavior correspondence by @jgranadossamayoa.bsky.social & @dalbarra.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/eprint/ZC6SF...

Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig! Happy St Patrick’s Day from Ireland! Today, from Beijing to Mumbai, from Chicago to Cork, everyone celebrates Ireland; & wherever & whoever you are, you can be Irish. Here’s a thread of my art so you can enjoy some Irish culture! [1]

That’s right. 🇺🇦

Ooo this is a good one ☺️

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked. The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.” This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

Time to post this again

Unlike Google, I will never EVER refer to it as the Gulf of America, that's just fucking stupid.

Chicago honors Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Food for thought.

Today we honor what would’ve been Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 96th birthday. 🖤 Dr. King was revolutionary who fought for justice, equality, and love when the world needed it most. His fight isn’t over—it's on us to keep pushing, keep resisting, and keep his dream alive.

Follow the yellow brick road to BlackrOz! Marina Promenade upgrade is a delight - wide open plazas, coffee at Cortado, no cars. Looking forward to next phases in 2025! #CorkCity

Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere. The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hope—when the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back. A day I celebrate more than Christmas or New Year. Fiat lux! 📷 by @annieworsley.bsky.social

“It's amazing how pollution has dropped in #Paris in 15 years. @annehidalgo.bsky.social has filled the city with bike-lanes & not only has she reduced pollution by 40% but she’s also been re-elected.” Trading car space for green space, bike space, kid space…trading pollution for people. Good trade.

Nobody asked for it, but I did it anyway. A quick overview of the effect of yesterday’s EDPB Opinion (No 28/2024 for those keeping count) on the consequences for AI models built unlawfully using personal data. www.mcgarrsolicitors.ie/2024/12/18/o...

Two years ago today we were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for protecting The US Capitol on January 6th 2021. Almost 4 years later the efforts to downplay, whitewash and minimize what happened appear to be succeeding. I won't ever stop standing up to them.

Wow catching up to CNN on Bluesky. 🦋 They would absolutely hate it if you followed us and reposted this.

Aaaaaaahhhhh they are so adorable when they run!

Ireland continues to have one of the strongest democracies in Europe. The party system may be fragmented but stable (+even successful) coalitions have become the norm. Note, once again it looks like NO far right candidates will be elected. Certainly no far right party in the Dáil.

¡Feliz 125º aniversario! 💙❤️ Que cumplamos muchos más

I had my first success with gnocchi - using squash rather than spud - and here's my account of it from The Sunday Times a while back. And do, please, browse my Substack if you would like to dip in... open.substack.com/pub/tomdoorl...

Some of the most interesting plants to find in a habitat are orchids. In these islands they are often indicative of rare semi-natural habitats or in a few cases restricted entirely to ancient woodland. Three Irish Orchids (2021) | Original ink on paper drawing by Robert Bohan

Back in the days of #tweetmeettuesday in Cork City, I created #BrunchCork. My personal 🐦 account was busy with Qs about where to eat 🥞 or 🍳🥓 at this time or on that day. It was like food matchmaking. I can’t believe it’s been 11+ yrs. The brunch scene has evolved, but I’ll do the same thing on 🦋
