Public consultation for Chapelizod Rd and Conyngham Rd Active Travel Scheme.

Poster calling for ban on chat gpt on tcd wifi
Delighted to see this student led campaign to remove chat gpt from College WiFi today on environmental and ethical grounds. Hope it succeeds
I am absolutely fine with this. We as a nation should give more people woolly scarves.

That should offend us. Insult us. Shame us all.
Today, after a year’s work @socialistsanddemocrats.eu @labour.ie, we can finally say the #EU is intervening where the market & Ireland has failed

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
Here’s a giant of a woman to celebrate on International Women’s Day. Brave, honest, unflinching. A true hero.

Genuinely, what Irish person has ever identified with "the West" and not just meant, like, Connemara.
Another benefit of an Arts degree. You've read your Colette and you know there's a long respected history of people in sexual competition with cats for the love of their owners. Beir bua, Jessie.
KNOWLEDGE FOR KNOWLEDGE'S SAKE. I saw Heaney read his Beowulf. I read Beckett in the original French and talked about it with real goddamn scholars - people with deep, immense knowledge. I used a MICROFICHE. I traversed those concrete Arts block halls with reverence. I'm still grateful every day.

Two-thirds of people surveyed *BY RIP.ie* said they believed in heaven. Might have skewed the data slightly? Or maybe it didn't! I love that 66% believe in heaven, and only 16% in hell. Become ungovernable! Meet your dog again when you die, and in the meantime, do whatever you like!
re: hockey, Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest boxers ever to live, gave up three years in the prime of his life — years in which his fighting would have been at peak; actual money incalculable — rather than fight in an unjust war, so noping out on grandpa’s burger bash should be an easy choice
A new book considers the works and legacy of Gerry Cahill, an architect who built homes in Dublin, not units www.dublininquirer.com/a-new-book-c...
Did you know that homes pay twice as much for electricity as data centers do? It's good that that government are helping out the poor scrappy start ups like Amazon and Google 🥹
