Follow the science even if it changes course, that’s what science does. Don’t put barriers in people’s way- most people can do most jobs, let them try.

@YouTube The video may or may not be chilling. I didn’t watch it. But Russell brand videos are now being recommended to me?!!!! If someone isn’t allowed make money from YouTube why are you promoting them by sending notifications?

@IrishTimesBiz People can’t complain when there are people much worse off. But we can add it to the list of things to be quietly bitter about.

@BigPaulieDoyle @JurassicArse Because instead of 4 renters sharing a home, one rich person now lives there. And there’s less and less available for renters to choose from. If first dibs on house sales didn’t go to those currently saving money by living with mum and dad it would not be an issue.

@AnMailleach @Decland31447995 And what happens when you reach the city centre?

@IrishTimes @IrishTimesOpEd But if they only give it to some people do you think the cut off will be those earning €1 million/ year? No it will those earning €30,000. That’s how these things always go.

@muirishouston @NChildersMEP Now would be good. I got CoVID 2 days before I could get the vaccine the last time. It will be a huge part of the reason I will be voting against the government. I’m surrounded by CoVID now- we really can’t wait.

@BobFlavin But in Dublin no one will ever on pain of death let you change lane so things like this happen. If you get stuck in a queue on the left lane of people leaving the m50 no one will let you change into middle lane.

@ProfPCDoherty But in 10 years time we will be saying the same thing. If we want to survive we need to use all tools available to us. Other renewables are also slow to bring online. It would also send a message that surviving the climate crisis is a serious thing worth serious effort.

@PantiBliss It’s so so prevalent. Not much can be done but heartbreaking if they go so far as to not take medication or seek medical care when they need it. My friends are getting older like myself so the repercussions are worse nowadays.

A father calls the local police because his 11 year old daughter is being groomed by an adult man online. The cops proceed to threaten the little girl with making child porn.

Researching about child trafficking, many advise never to contact local cops and always the FBI.

@AnMailleach I particularly enjoy the 'We encourage students to use public transport' line. That's fantastic. If I encourage my family to use the swimming pool in the attic will it start to actually exist as a viable option. Students living on campus shouldn't need cars but they do. Why?

@gavinsblog Ireland likes to avoid stations altogether. We could have the 2 Luas lines meet at a station but choose instead to make people walk around a corner with no further infrastructure. It’s worked so well the new metro which crosses the luas will not be joined up in any way either.

[but why so? @butwhyso2]

@MaireTNC Absolutely!! And I feel a little bit sorry for Mila Kunis and Ashton kutcher because we are ALL culpable. We all know the men who abused our friends and we all say nothing. We warned women quietly in toilets but otherwise stayed quiet.

@bradley_steve @GreeeeNGRassss @DerekHolly7 I’m not sure where Irish speakers are getting this piece of rhetoric to peddle, it’s very effective in alienating people. I want my children to speak Irish. It’s sad to see them still learn how to spell words they don’t understand. Grown adults have 10000s of responsibilities.

[but why so? @butwhyso2]

@bradley_steve @GreeeeNGRassss @DerekHolly7 I suppose I went to college to learn science and would be pretty disappointed if I knew no science at the end of the process. I think people are entitled to expect that if they didn’t learn Irish after many hours of study over 13 years that my time might be better spent on family

@johnmeaghermuso I wasn’t too keen on all the guests but it was just so refreshing to have what felt to me like an all Irish show and not a Dublin show. A different feel. Hopefully he will go from strength to strength.

@Conor000000 @Alexandernewry @rtenews But also developers need time to build houses and the government increasing cost of blocks, fuel and wages during the build can only be predicted so much.

[but why so? @butwhyso2]

@shanefagan @rtenews Developers will just go bust. Not finish estates and the houses will be tied up in legal limbo for so long they will never get finished.
