Over 30 years ago my father spoke out about how multiple herd numbers per household and uncapped payments for every sheep lead to the complete vegitation loss to our uplands, its simple to fix he said, cap the number of sheep grazing on the hills and you wouldn't have this.

It was wonderful to gather with neighbors and friends in downtown Fayetteville this week.

Here's why we need to change the agricultural leadership of our state for our farmers, for our economy, for everyone. #ncpol

@david_mcn I am very sad that we won’t see a sequel to that film. It was waaaaaay more entertaining than it had any right to be

@IrishRail It was the 11:15 dart from greystones to malahide

It’s October so the Irish rail system is getting ready for Halloween

Some news! After over 2 years of fun and shipping I’ve left Shopify. It was an incredibly hard choice but I’ve made the leap into startup land and co-founded a company with some familiar faces. You can find more details on what we’re up to here - https://t.co/FgEkZrQxXW

I maintain that Terry Pratchett understood how people truly worked better than any author who ever lived, which is how you get paragraphs like this being throwaway jokes

[Honey @benegotherit]

Inconceivable horror descends from space and, through a series of terrifying manipulations of your own tiny world, manages to communicate that it thinks your hat’s shit

I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler.

I need Disney+ to add a shuffle function to Bluey. It’s the only tv show I consume the same way I consume music.

My understanding is that if you want a Supreme Court justice to do something, you first need to buy some real estate from them.

Growing up in #Toronto, I held #NYC in awe. Per the joke, one Torontonian changes the lightbulb, the other goes New York to make sure lightbulbs are still in. I had a *great* place to stay in the City: my cousin Maxine's rent-controlled place in a midtown doorman building.

@lebreeze He’s like the villain from a dickens novel. The Steiner and Binotto buddy comedy needs a spin off though.

So, I find myself 30ft in the air up a tree in Wellingborough- surrounded by police, security & tree surgeons- trying to prevent an illegal tree felling. How did I end up here? Here’s an outrageous story of nature destruction & collusion between authorities & private developer 🧵

@KeepersDan Playing through Cyberpunk now and feeling that pain. One tiny snippet of text launches an on rails back and forth with half of the tone being a surprise. I like the attempt to obfuscate the raw mechanic behind it but it just results in needing to have a guide open.

What's on the left covers 10% of Ireland, what's on the right only 1% and is almost all trashed. But they want to hugely increase the first.

Which do we need + want more of?

Make yourself heard at the Dáil at 12.30 today. No more sitka!!!

[Chapters Bookstore Dublin @chaptersbooks]

A Mystery Box will be sent on a totally arbitrary basis to somebody who takes part!

Good luck!

[Eoghan Daltun 🌍 @IrishRainforest]

Behind all the lovely photos of oak and other native trees you'll see in forestry industry communications, the stark reality of sitka plantations all across Ireland (currently 10% of our total land area, with plans to greatly ramp that up):

A complete vacuum of diverse life.
