Unknowable.
Dublin Bus-coded
I like how Aer Lingus sent me a survey specifically about my flight home that went smoothly, and not about my flight out which was stuck on the tarmac for 7 hours

On this day in 1990!

It was Ray D’Arcy’s first day as the new host of The Den.

Here’s a clip from the opening link. More memories over on the #zigandzagfanclub

Glad they at least published this response to the ridiculous letter a woman wrote claiming that the announcements on the DART are "intrusive" because "everyone" can read the screens by the door 🙄
Dart announcements are not intrusive. They are necessary and beneficial
Regular real‑time audio updates are essential for passengers with additional needs

The problem with now having (some) clothes with pockets is that I keep putting things in them and forgetting I have pockets at all and spending ages searching for an item which was just in my pocket all along...

The yank replies in the Irish person's post about McGregor all saying the exact same thing ("Trump is also terrible!!1 have you even heard of Doonbeg") = annoying
The Irish replies in the yank's post about McGregor all saying the exact same thing ("convicted rapist!") = satisfying 🕶️

Enquiring minds need to know! Great piece about one of the best parts of going to the cinema

I kept seeing this ad where Ted Lasso decides to go to the World Cup and somehow having to pay for tickets and flights is meant to tie into revolutionary tap-and-pay, even though card-present probably makes up a really tiny proportion of payments for those specific transactions. Unnecessary and dumb
How the World Cup showcases payment tech buff.ly/X5VWS9K

"The World Cup is a testing ground for new payment products."

Is tap-and-pay really "new" any more?

There's something about people pluralising the word 'Lego' that's so unwholesome

Worried if RTÉ Radio 1 has changed all its lead-in music that the iconic Morning Ireland one that samples the Smashing Pumpkins is now gone 🥺

The Gaeilge gan Bhéarla feed is truly cursed by the fact that there is some f*rries convention being held in Dublin with an Irish name so all posts are naturally filtering in there 😖 I never had to set up so many content filters and stuff on Twitter as I have to here to just not see this stuff

Peace has come at last to the inner city. Lidl on Thomas Street, positively serene. If only it was happening under better circumstances blah blah blah I'm so unstressed now 😇

Great report. Why is there no accountability around implementing a national strategy?

Despite years of talk, a promised national strategy on red-light cameras is yet to be published – let alone implemented.

There's an account going around congratulating any post of anyone getting an Irish passport (not via actually living here and contributing to Irish society 🙃) and one of the posts says now they've gotten their passport they fully understand the "suffering" their Irish parent obviously went through 🙄
