Over 30 years ago my father spoke out about how multiple herd numbers per household and uncapped payments for every sheep lead to the complete vegitation loss to our uplands, its simple to fix he said, cap the number of sheep grazing on the hills and you wouldn't have this.

It was wonderful to gather with neighbors and friends in downtown Fayetteville this week. Here's why we need to change the agricultural leadership of our state for our farmers, for our economy, for everyone. #ncpol

@david_mcn I am very sad that we won’t see a sequel to that film. It was waaaaaay more entertaining than it had any right to be

@IrishRail It was the 11:15 dart from greystones to malahide

@duke_sam Hi Niall, sorry to hear this has been your experience this morning. Please confirm the departure time and direction of travel. I will report this issue. -CL

It’s October so the Irish rail system is getting ready for Halloween

Some news! After over 2 years of fun and shipping I’ve left Shopify. It was an incredibly hard choice but I’ve made the leap into startup land and co-founded a company with some familiar faces. You can find more details on what we’re up to here - trypavlov.com

I maintain that Terry Pratchett understood how people truly worked better than any author who ever lived, which is how you get paragraphs like this being throwaway jokes

Inconceivable horror descends from space and, through a series of terrifying manipulations of your own tiny world, manages to communicate that it thinks your hat’s shit

I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler.

I need Disney+ to add a shuffle function to Bluey. It’s the only tv show I consume the same way I consume music.

And then something odd happened: The climate changed. Where previously rainwater had fled to the sea, the new forest held onto it in soil and vegetation. Evaporation from leaves created a humid microclimate that cooled the land, bringing yet more rain. A cloud forest was born.

@lebreeze He’s like the villain from a dickens novel. The Steiner and Binotto buddy comedy needs a spin off though.

drive to survive: your annual reminder of how unlikeable christian horner is.

So, I find myself 30ft in the air up a tree in Wellingborough- surrounded by police, security & tree surgeons- trying to prevent an illegal tree felling. How did I end up here? Here’s an outrageous story of nature destruction & collusion between authorities & private developer 🧵

@KeepersDan Playing through Cyberpunk now and feeling that pain. One tiny snippet of text launches an on rails back and forth with half of the tone being a surprise. I like the attempt to obfuscate the raw mechanic behind it but it just results in needing to have a guide open.

What's on the left covers 10% of Ireland, what's on the right only 1% and is almost all trashed. But they want to hugely increase the first. Which do we need + want more of? Make yourself heard at the Dáil at 12.30 today. No more sitka!!!

Our VERY FIRST online quiz! Twenty questions - answers announced at 9pm! A Mystery Box will be sent on a totally arbitrary basis to somebody who takes part! Good luck!
