Using big LLMs for basic queries is 'like turning on stadium floodlights to look for your keys' - this is good on the AI environmental questions.

I enjoy the Friday newsletter from @tripeanddrisheen.bsky.social . It's interesting, broad, funny & they've tackled issues (eg twitter hacking) that other publications haven't. I'm sure once the other journalists hear they'll be writing opinion pieces about how this is a threat to democracy etc.

A new evidence review asks what speed limits should be if we started with the goal of reducing death and injury. Safe to say that despite being rooted in evidence, there'll be a lot of motivated reasoning trying to make these conclusions go away downloads.roadsafetyfoundation.org/Determining_...

“Cruising through Paris, Rome” - fella, nobody cruises through Paris or Rome in any kind of car, and all you’re doing is showing the world you haven’t a notion about those cities.

Maybe boycott the singing competition platforming propaganda by a state committing an ongoing genocide, perhaps. A little proposal for the bare minimum. Something to consider.

On the subject of 🚲 permeability, is anyone on friendly terms with a journalist who might be interested in participating in an active travel experiment? The experiment being to compare the utility of walking versus cycling on a number of carefully selected routes through the centre of Galway City?

When we began roasting coffee 7 years ago we started by giving 1% of all we earn to Women's Aid. Last year this rose to over 3.5% and this year I'm hopeful it may hit 4%. This isn't charity or marketing. It's just a different business model to others which I hope means more people in the chain win.

The Government teaching us all that arson works. Remember last year when the the far right goons protested outside Simon Harris' house and within a few days he was going in tougher than ever on immigrants? Amazing what they are willing to show us works

As I cuddle in my children this weekend my heart is sore for the parents in Gaza who cannot feed their babies, toddlers & children due to the Israeli blockade of supplies. I am so frustrated at political leaders across the EU doing nothing to stop it. Shame on us all.

Active Travel have put together a very useful map of all the cycle lanes built and planned. Here we can see the missing link between the O'Connell street cycle lanes and the start of the Canal Path to UL. Closing this gap would be one of the biggest and easiest wins for cycling in the city
