China still has an unnatural ratio of male babies to females.
Long term it's women who matter for population numbers.
China has probably been below replacement female birthrates for 40 years.

The rules of the road in Ireland say you have to leave the outside lane if you are not overtaking.
This as written would make the inside lane too full and cause traffic jams.

🚨 Battery discharge early yesterday evening reached a new all-time high of 396MW, equal to 5.6% of electricity demand at the time.
Cork's Aghada plant the biggest contributor.
Recent changes in scheduling and dispatch already making a difference on these high demand, low wind nights.

When do Irish words become English language words? When they are in the English dictionary?
The BBC style guide says not to use Garda but to use an English word. But garda is in my English dictionary www.bbc.co.uk/newsstylegui...

I think we should name Dublin airport after a celebrity that will confuse everyone:
Matt Holland,
Karl Spain,
Mick Galway.
Matt Holland,
Karl Spain,

Why an earth would we want to rename the airport that already explains to everyone where it is, what it is, what it's for and what county it's in.
The Dáil has heard a suggestion that Dublin Airport be named after the former Taoiseach Sean Lemass.
Any counteroffers?

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Ok, new Common Sense just released. It's timely and pithy and hopefully you think it worth your time (and mine).

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

A #painting I finished and sold last year. "Connemara Boats", a view from a small but storied bridge in south Connemara, east to the Rosmuc peninsula - a stunning part of the world. I painted it because I like the organic mish-mash punctuated by human made moments. #art #stunday #ArtYear #SpeirGhorm
