1/ For #carbrains complaining about cycle lanes & people on 🚲. 7 people in this short clip coming from cycle lanes on road above onto greenway. 7 less cars in your carbrained way on a road. 7 less cars to go through each junction. 5 less parents driving their kids to school ...

Leaving @xitter @support is the right thing to do while the Nazi @elonmusk is owner of it. I should have done it a long time back. So FUCK @elonmusk and hope you eat that 44 million very soon.

@REBELC0RK Illegal & supposedly a €5000 euro fine. But doesn't seem like it is ever enforced. 🤷‍♂️

Wouldn't any sane society build a CLuas before an events centre anyways? #cork 😌

[The Left in the European Parliament @Left_EU]

The EU's silence on Israel's assaults in Gaza & Lebanon is a moral failure.

Israel violates international law daily, yet the EU stays complicit as its biggest trading partner.

People demand sanctions & a ceasefire now. Time to act.

43% of the Irish Electorate: This is fine. In fact, it's so fine that we should re-elect the two parties responsible for this for another five years 👍

This tree below was removed within the hour, on a Sunday evening, even though it was just a quiet back-road.

OTOH, the S2SN, a busy cycle commuter route, & the Dodder way at the Aviva were still blocked off mid-morning 2day well after Ashley was gone https://t.co/6gvheVw76O

@Peteer Got the sums wrong but the distance is still increasing. 😬

[YᗩY ᖴOᖇ ᗷIᑕYᑕᒪEᔕ 🚲 @byjoeb]

September 2023 versus October 2024. 🤟 5000 kilometres is approx 466 kWh & cost about €107 at current unit rate.

My e-bike is speed limited for my safety and the safety of others.

[Mustapha Cycle @joedamaggio]

Look at this utter bell end taxi driver, on top of and undertaking me this morning on Dame St/ College Gn. This will be my first report via the new portal. Taxi drivers are the bane of my life with their dangerous shit, every bloody day.

[YᗩY ᖴOᖇ ᗷIᑕYᑕᒪEᔕ 🚲 @byjoeb]

Not too good at the sums & think these sums be wrong. It's 500 watt battery so 0.5kWh * 100 charges which is about €11.50 for the 5000 kilometres. 😯

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

Hard to overstate how much of an improvement speed cameras are compared to police issuing tickets.

Speed cameras are *way* more fair -- and also more reliable.

If you're following @johncreedon 's Musical Atlas of Ireland on @rte over the last few weeks - in last nights episode he visited @33rpmcork record shop in Cork. 😊 One of the loveliest record shops. https://t.co/cjqo8cvQ4s

[Kate Middleton @KateM45]

Really important thread about press misinformation - and how it works in close up. Spoiler @Telegraph do not come out of this well. Congratulations to all who fought this battle

[Cargo Revolution @CargoRevolution]

Last summer we sounded the bugle and cargo bikes from across the city rallied to the call🎺

We had child carriers, electricians, dog carriers, plumbers, a barbershop quartet, couriers and simple residents come out to show off their cargo bikes.

Who's ready for the next one?!

[dr ian greenwood @ian_m_greenwood]

Sixteen years ago today, my beautiful daughter, Alice was killed by five racing young drivers. She should be almost 29 years old. Instead she is forever 12. 💔

I am told that time will heal - it doesn’t! Here is what Remigio David says….
“This is what grief is. A hole ripped through the very fabric of your being. The hole eventually heals along the jagged edges that remain. It may even shrink in size.
But that hole will always be there.
A piece of you always missing.
For where there is deep grief, there was great love.
Don’t be ashamed of your grief.
Don’t judge it.
Don’t suppress it.
Don’t rush it.
Rather, acknowledge it.
Lean into it.
Listen to it.
Feel it.
Sit with it.
Sit with the pain. And remember the love.
This is where the healing will begin.”

There is a @UKLabour Gvt @Keir_Starmer @LouHaigh @LilianGreenwood @transportgovuk @Kate_Dearden intervention which just might have saved Alice’s life, and many others, called a Graduated Driving License or #GDL. All Prime Ministers since Alice was killed have refused to act. @Keir_Starmer - you promised change - it is now time.

Alice’s preventable death is why I campaign to #StopRoadDeath #GDL
