The €1bn spent on fossil fuel sinces April would have put 8kw battery & solar on 100,000 homes buying them energy freedom for 20+ years.
The €1bn+ that will be spent over the next few months would bring that to 250,000 homes.
What we lack is will and vision

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12.
Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

Don't really think Ireland as a whole deserves a pat on the back for the work of some artists, activists, and the people who pressure and protest, when our government watered down the OTB, the GAA refuses to drop Israeli weapon insurer Allianz, and the FAI is happy to play Israel without Irish fans

I would love to ask a prominent BBC journalist to give me an example of an illegitimate concern. Is seems to me that it has become a question not of fact, logic, or ethics but of volume. If a big enough proportion of a village was anxious about Bigfoot or Chemtrails, BBC would cover it in a way...

A Dublin #painting. "Ormond Quay" is the quay I've painted most of those in our capital city. Like all of my paintings of the quays it came out of a lifetime of walks along both sides of the Liffey, combined with a love of squares and rectangles. One of my happiest places. #SpéirGhorm #ArtYear

This is good news and it would be great to see the Artists’ Exemption in Ireland exclude work made with AI.
Music made by artificial intelligence will be banned from Australia's top charts under new guidelines aimed at protecting "the human nature of artistry", an industry body has said

I'm loathe to share this man, but this one is personal. My masters thesis was on the MMR controversy, so believe me when I say that this path of separation of the MMR will result in nothing but increased sales of too-small coffins, and children with life-altering medical conditions.

Even here, this form of solar panel at this height could easily be installed on grazing land and livestock grazed under it without the remotest bother. I would suspect that were you to offer connections and/or grants, there would be an absolute stampede of farmers towards this.
Italian researchers found that semi-transparent solar panels over olive groves increased olive yields by 12%, reduced water evaporation by 19%, generated clean electricity, and even improved olive oil quality.
