I think I'll be submitting a supporting submission to this apartment complex based on the responses to this FB post. Kmac is one of the worst councillors for enabling this type of anti housing rhetoric in the city

Donald Trump is treating the destruction of a democracy as a political show — throwing Ukraine to the wolves and doing a favor for Putin. It's shameful and dangerous. I've been to Ukraine, as have many Senate Republicans. I hope they speak up. Millions of lives are at stake.

The Irish state was quick to declare a national biodiversity (/climate) emergency in 2019, but has done next to nothing meaningful since. Just one example of what the @opwireland.bsky.social, a state body, does on a regular basis.

It’s difficult to overemphasize what a dumb and shortsighted idea it is to start importing fracked gas, literally just to try and keep on trumps good side

This lad previously thought rivers should be stuffed into concrete channels. This is not the sort of aesthetic sense you would want assessing the “value” of art.

Also see: Rise in flooding. Rise in mosquito causing malaria. Rise in adverse weather anomalies such as severe storms. Rise in blackouts caused by storms. Rise in costs. Rise in deaths. Rise in stupid privileged fuckers writing deranged articles like this that will make me lose my fuckin mind.

We've all worked for or with a Patrick O'Donovan in our lives and not one of us has one good thing to say about this type of person

"...Arts Minister Patrick O’Donovan wants to make sure that all projects funded by his department...represent value for money." How are they measuring value? Because they did this for Science Gallery, as though the arts were a business that should be cost-neutral, and it closed.

I’m just going to throw this into the #plasticstraw debate. Up until the end of the eighties, straws really were not a thing, apart from a novelty at children’s parties. We drank from glasses. Maybe we should just recognise them as single use trash we don’t need. (except for medical conditions)

I'm embarrassed to share this, but this is where I lived for years because I couldn't afford anything better in a housing crisis. It's a literal deathtrap. If a fire happened between me and the door I had no alternate escape route. I didn't complain because I couldn't risk losing it.

Ireland has less than 5 years to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 51% And today, the government announced that new data centres can open, powered by burning fossil fuels.🤷‍♂️ We are going to face BILLIONS in fines to the EU while we tinker with our slurry spreaders. #ClimateCrisis #Ireland

Whenever anyone laments the state we’re in, they’re met with a chorus of “but what do we do?” As plenty of good options are available, this response might often be wilful impotence*. I invite you all to nominate in this thread the best proposals and practices, around which we should gather. Thanks
