If you are returning to education this September you might like this short video that I created to introduce 3 tactics of learning that if applied, will help you experience a more enjoyable & successful learning journey. Good luck :) youtu.be/t689SK5-9d0

The problem with today’s world is that everyone believes they have the right to express their opinion and have others listen to it. The correct statement of individual rights is that everyone has the right to an opinion, but, crucially, that opinion can be roundly ignored and even made fun of, particularly if it is demonstrably nonsense. ― Brian Cox

@FineGael This is a disappointing video. Let’s not lower the tone. We’re not in the US. This video says as much about FG as it does about her.

Catherine Connolly's hypocrisy.

@IrishTimes The pressure got too high!

Mystery surrounds Joanna Donnelly’s sudden departure from RTÉ weather forecasting role irishtimes.com/ireland/2025/0…

@Fattes13 @HelenORahilly And the weird thing is I suspect (hope), they'd never dream of accepting him as a member. This man is clearly not of good character.

@HelenORahilly Helen, as a mason I can assure you that I have submitted correspondence to my lodge & our governing body to demand a full clarification in relation to this abomination. I can assure you the anger among some of my fellow masons in relation to this is clear & substantial

@DavidMcredmond A man was murdered in Grafton Street - people don't want to live above shops - they want front and back gardens and they don't want to live in shopping districts

“Living above the shop” in Shoreditch London. This is what we want for Dublin. An application for 4 apartments on Grafton St was objected to. But nothing lights up a city or creates a sense of safety than a populated street.

@Jason_Kavanagh @Mattdayman3 @garrethmcdaid @IrishRail Also me. I get it regularly. It's fine. The odd rude person without earphones but that's it.

@Mattdayman3 @garrethmcdaid @IrishRail As I said mate my own regular experience with it is absolutely fine.

Tried to tell the missus not to take the @Irishrail Dublin to Sligo train this evening. "How bad can it be?" She arrived home in tears and went to bed.

@davidjconnelly @bushontheradio Yes!

I need to add "squashed it" to this list. The worst of the worst.

@Ray__Porter is this your voice Ray? Or has it been cloned? youtube.com/watch?v=SzMiJF…

I have 4 tix to see Cast tonight in The Academy. Free to anyone that wants them? DM me.

@bushontheradio Throw pints thinking it's all good fun!

What are the worst things other people do at gigs?

@chrissietee @WeAreTUDublin @ThePhDPlace @PhD_Genie Congratulations Dr. Tiller :)

So, at the grand old age of 75 received my PhD today! Thank you @WeAreTUDublin. @ThePhDPlace @PhD_Genie @ThePhDPlace ❤️

@black__bamboo @EmmaCDeSouza To truly celebrate diversity, we must also celebrate inclusivity. I think they go hand in hand.

@EmmaCDeSouza As the mother of two mixed race Irish children, I find myself squirming a bit at the lengths some people go to deny their ethnicity, though I understand why. To truly celebrate diversity includes acknowledging ethnic diversity and allowing for curiousity and discussion about it.

My husband is Irish. He chose Ireland & went through a protracted process to become legally an Irish citizen. Trying to create a differential between people who have naturalised as Irish citizens & those born in Ireland is deeply problematic & often rooted in racism & exclusion.

@EmmaCDeSouza @MaryKenny4 Lovely point. I love observing how people get involved in community activities...while those who consider themselves "real" locals wouldn't dream of making a positive contribution to their community.

@MaryKenny4 At times, Mary, it feels like we are moving into a much more exclusive and isolationist space, not just in Ireland but globally. There is something so powerful, and to be celebrated, in those that chose to become a part of the Irish nation.

@DaraghCassidy Facade out front has character. And I side has huge potential to be a cultural venue. Not traditional retail. Cafes, bars, restaurants. Boutique cinema. Theatre next door.

I know it's fairly divisive. But when you see the Stephen's Green shopping centre up close it's really nothing special at all. And it's a badly designed building both inside and out. The lack of open space onto King Street is ridiculous. I'm in two minds about whether to keep it.

@JoeBrolly1993 In the Free State? 🙄 In the Daily Mail?.... 🙌

This is the sort of wankology that passes for political journalism in the free state. #sinnfeinatemyhamster

@alxwlsdn @davidmcw

Few thoughts "A year after riots focused attention on the city centre, it's clear that what Dublin city lacks most is not gardaí, it's residents. People make cities and Dublin city doesn’t have enough citizens. Boost the population & transform the city". irishtimes.com/opinion/2024/1…

@citizen_eire @davidmcw Yawn

@davidmcw It’s all well and good growing a population but not at the cost of the indigenous population but I think you know that! You think it’s a good idea to bring more in with no where to house them while our own are on the streets. All respect gone for you

@VC2243 @davidmcw I spoke to a colleague......N=1 🙄

@davidmcw The same is happening in London, speaking to a Hindu colleague in UK - Islamic ghettos and illegal migrants are forcing people to sell up and move to other UK cities. Simple facts.

@JohnGleeson88 @davidmcw Bullshit.

@bushontheradio YES! ;)

Here's another annoying bit of human behaviour...
