@Blank_spaces84 @Fengel76 @HalfwayPost As long as Congress enforces the constitution

@Fengel76 @HalfwayPost But he can only be in office for two terms

BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly furious after a group of 125 presidential scholars put out their annual collective ranking of the presidents today, and both of Trump’s terms were unanimously ranked as the two worst in US history.

@animalag @fleroy1974 Feeding brewers grains to animals and eating them is the only human nutrition that comes from brewing!

Brewers’ grains are rich in protein, digestible fiber, and energy, and are all by-products of the beer-making process that are recycled into nutrient-rich feed for cattle. 🍻🐄♻️ bit.ly/3XWFlj1

@CarlowWeather If it stops raining, I'll put up with the cold

The windchill for Friday the 13th is looking fresh!

@clynch2810 @rtenews Some people still looking for a scapegoat

@rtenews How are these relevant replies. There's a lot of bull in there

Three people have been brought to hospital from Trinity College Dublin after a chemical spill at its Biomedical Sciences Institute rte.ie/news/education…

@duzBme @rtenews @FatEmperor @HopeRising19 @DrSuzanneH7 That was 14 months before we heard of Covid 19

@rtenews Was Prof Luke O’Neill involved? Trinity College Dublin is where Prof Luke O’Neill has his School of Biochemistry and Immunology. #Cesspit #TCOIMH @FatEmperor @HopeRising19 @DrSuzanneH7

@duru_tobe @OurWorldInData And still, there are lots of people who believe that farmers and food companies are trying to poison them

@OurWorldInData that's a testament to agricultural innovation

On every continent, food supplies have grown faster than the population— We just lived through the period with the fastest population growth in human history. Six decades ago, there were three billion people on our planet. Since 2022, there have been more than eight billion people — an increase of five billion over this period. It would have been impressive if food supplies had merely kept pace with population growth. But as the chart above shows, they grew even faster. On every continent, food supplies — measured by calories — grew faster than the population. This rise in food production per person was a major reason for the decline of extreme poverty and hunger. To us, this chart documents one of humanity’s most extraordinary achievements. (This Data Insight was written by Pablo Rosado and @MaxCRoser.)

@Hylo67 I think it's more to do with class than race

Scrolling through Stephen’s day hunt videos reading comments I can’t decide what % are genuinely anti bloodsports or just plain racist, racism is a stronger current I feel

@yst9r @cturnbull1968 Does that include bring a gun to the beach? It's going to leave tan lines

@cturnbull1968 This whole situation would have ended if citizens could protect themselves.

If the two guys shooting had AR-15s with drum magazines and body armor, they would have killed 200 people, at least.

@Wildingarden @grok @_PeterRyan Kerry Group Plc has nothing to do with Kerrygold butter. The Kerrygold brand is owned by Irish farmers through, Ornua co-operative

@1mgfc @rayofoghlu @ElaineMcgoff Thanks. The EPA are either not using it or not disclosing it then. Good to know it can be done

@MartinHeaney8 @rayofoghlu @ElaineMcgoff The same technology as has been used to identify grass fed milk can be used. Was used in Rosscarbery to show that the algae in bay was caused by farm pollution.

I believe there is a case to be made for retaining the derogation, but the deflection, spin, and threats are rank.

@1mgfc @rayofoghlu @ElaineMcgoff I don't see see farmers conflating unrelated issues. As you say, the problem is not farming, its water quality. Anything that farmers can do to help water quality will help everyone, including farmers. If that means questioning other sources, so be it.

@1mgfc @rayofoghlu @ElaineMcgoff The EPA say that agriculture is responsible for the majority of nitrates and phosphate. Some farmers, with some justification have questioned this. Farm orgs have asked if different P sources can be identified from water samples. The EPA either don't know or won't share it.

@1mgfc @rayofoghlu @ElaineMcgoff I don't disagree, but nitrates in water have no corolation to stocking rates. They do have a strong corolation with soil type. I have yet to see An Taisce accept this. Water quality also has a strong corolation with human population density.

@MartinHeaney8 @rayofoghlu @ElaineMcgoff The problem is not farming, it's water quality. It seems to me that there are two different and largely unrelated problems. Nitrates mostly from agriculture and phosphate mostly from sewage. Both need to be addressed.

@1mgfc @rayofoghlu @ElaineMcgoff I don't know, but she only has one solution for farming.

@MartinHeaney8 @rayofoghlu @ElaineMcgoff Do Ms McGoff's views alter the science?

@davidkerr67 Same everywhere. We had more cattle in 1973 when we joined the EEC than we have today. EPA say that we had much better water quality in 1980s, but we have much better protection of water from farming now. I'm confused

You would think the derogation was only a recent development. Our farm and many others were at that stocking rate 50 years ago.

@rayofoghlu @1mgfc @ElaineMcgoff Yeah, but she's opposed to derogation anyway.

@1mgfc Something @ElaineMcgoff often says.

@PaulRoundy1 @aaronshem I'm not arguing. I just find it amusing that I can find studies that show the almost everywhere is warming faster than average. I see that average SST has dropped a bit in the last 10 weeks. You predicted that back in 2023 when everyone was panicking. It it likely to continue?

@MartinHeaney8 @aaronshem I'm not sure what you are arguing here, the SE Pacific and S Atlantic regions are cooling or level, so that does make most of the other ocean regions warming more than average.

Many of these predictions are obvious, but made without reference to scale. Climate models have tended to overpredict the warming rate. The recent natural warm surge (2015-early 2025) needs to be accounted for when validating, because this period makes it look as though the models are more in line. Yet accounting for it continues to maintain validation on the low end of the model envelope.

@aaronshem @PaulRoundy1 Yes, but studies show that the 3 biggest oceans are warming faster than average! Figure that one out.

@PaulRoundy1 @MartinHeaney8 Land warms faster than oceans, which is 70% of the surface area, so almost any place on land will warm “faster than average.” And during winter, the arctic acts similar to land.
