This guy is an absolute legend. I just keep seeing great initiatives like this from him.

If they’re already banned for people under 16, I wonder how an unenforceable ban is now supposed to become enforceable.

It just gets worse the more I read. I initially thought it might have been accidental, but no, they intentionally killed 205 birds including adults and chicks. I’m not religious but Jesus Christ almighty … that’s absolutely tragic and the money isn’t nearly enough.

I think there should be a custodial sentence for things like this. It might reverse the trend of our morality being bred out of us for the love of money.

It’s a frightening time for decent people.

Thanks, and apologies. I’ve edited my initial comment.

Germany will also not accept refugees from Palestine, even children. They do take their livestock , though.

Correction: Germany grants asylum to many Palestinians who reach Germany, but has been heavily criticized for accepting very few medical evacuations of sick children from Gaza while facilitating the transfer of rescued donkeys from Gaza.

Obviously video is not a good source, but in this case there is a source elsewhere from April 2025

Yes, and the Green Party got a moratorium on data centres until they were voted out. It’s a real shame.

I’m 2/3 in so far. This does seem like good news, and it’s nice to see the various groups interacting - including from outside Ireland. A good line of questioning from some, especially Jen Whitmore.

I don’t see why the independent TD needed to be flippant and put words in people’s mounts - it’s a bad-faith habit. Besides that it was a revealing session.

It sounds like the basic implementation (no battery) will especially benefit people who are actually at home during the day, such as remote workers, or people with appliances running during the day while they are out.

We are so, so late to implementing energy transition and this is more of a lucky strike via Germany than a change of pattern from the government, but it’s something.

I used to sympathise with her because I got the idea (somewhere) that she was a victim of domestic abuse. For that reason it took me quite a while to cop on that she is a prolific abuser herself.

The comments here are not understanding that this message is about mental states.

I thought the 1990 TMNT movie was excellent. Live action can be done well.

The letter, signed by Poland, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Romania and Sweden, also called for such organizations to have a reduced role in organizations such as the EU Sport Forum.

I was just thinking that one table might get a bit old, that’s great! Reminds me of the Neverputt game. Always loved those.

This looks really fun.

I remember what it’s like to share accommodation too.

Effective and consequential, if any of these kite-flying exercises turn out to be popular.

“A lot of men and their behaviors have ruined this product.”

That’s men acting as they intended using a product as intended. There is no plot twist here.

I didn’t think we had much iconic sci-fi to parody these days.

I’m not a fan of the people who vote for them either.
