why is @news.rte.ie using a discredited platform of disinformation to simply repeat a Met Eireann storm warning - when they already have that information direct from ME? Why is @rte.ie continuing to drive traffic to X ? #spéirghorm www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

it's wild how the positive use cases are like "save 5 minutes reading a long doc" and "write a generic email faster" and the negative use cases are "get encouraged to dive deeper in psychosis, misogyny, or suicidal thoughts" and we're still on the fence about overall value
New from 404 Media: ChatGPT told a violent stalker to continue running his misogynistic and threat-filled podcast despite the “haters,” and to visit more gyms to find women. The man stalked women in multiple states, including touching and following from work

Stop blaming the victims. Stop pushing this dangerous narrative. Start tackling dangerous driving.

A fascinating mix of Americans, Brits, and our own home grown West Brits.

I suppose it isn't surprising but it's the West Brit far-right idiots Ireland really needs to be worried about - them and their far-right pals in Northern Ireland.
It appears the thing Ireland is (most) full of, is US anti-immigrant protestors pretending to be Irish! Who'd have guessed?

Dublin has all the ingredients to be a world-class cycling city, but we need a real shift in thinking, ambition, and action.

We need to move from talking the talk to walking (and cycling) the walk.

Because as is, this is what it feels like to cycle in Dublin 👎

It’s disturbing that so much of the Irish media still turn to #X for commentary and quotes. This creates a totally distorted impression given that platform’s active promotion of right-wing extremism. #Speirgorm

In Wales, Cornwall, Edinburgh, London and so many places when most 30mph roads were changed to 20mph, people injured or killed by motor vehicles reduced by 20%+. With minimal change to journey times and £2bn saving in insurance costs it's a huge win. bit.ly/4gIBPlJ

We are delighted to see RTÉ are finally listening to those who have been calling to #BoycottEurovision for many years. We believe this decision is long overdue but it is better late than never. You can read their full statement below.

Last night’s dinner with Trump and Big Tech wasn’t a policy meeting. It was basically 'The Bachelor,' except instead of roses, the prize was the president’s approval.

Wonderful video from #CleanCoasts about Sally and her human Tony who litter pick on Sandymount Strand in Dublin every day

Latest Irish Business Against Litter survey has shown great improvements on beaches. It's not come about by magic, but by the heroic efforts of so many like Sally and Tony 👏
