Pogačar's attack on the climb above Cauterets was so big had to look closely for signs of burning rubber skid marks (📷 ASO/Charly Lopez)

@Rubberbandits Environmental determinism? Don’t think you’d find many supporters of this theory today. See Ellen Semple on wiki for example.

Has anyone done a proper study into weather and how this can influence the personality and culture of a population? If ye know of any books, please recommend

There’s no point giving us hot dry sunshine in Ireland. We spend the whole time worrying about wether we are enjoying it enough, or enjoying it in the right way. We thrive on the certainty of sideways rain

“Dublin is dead and everybody knows it. Everyone’s mates are in Berlin, or Glasgow, or Canada, or maybe even Belfast. They killed it. Fine Gael and Fianna Fail and landlords and Spoons and international capital and vulture funds and REITs and everything in between”

Dublin is sold as a modern city that is home to the world's most dynamic industries – but for its residents, daily life is scarred by one of Europe's worst housing crises and rampant workplace precarity. tribunemag.co.uk/2021/06/how-re…

It was such a pleasure to go through the review process with @VisAnthReview and I’m so proud that this work of #autophotography with the farmer that explores the politics of care and the emotional labour of killing your cows has a home! #Humananimalstudies #VisualAnthro

@TheRealEddieOS yes, because indoor swimming pools stop you getting wet.

Outdoor dining in Ireland is as practical as an outdoor swimming pool.

Restaurants need to be open. They were fine last year, no surges or clusters. #ThePlan will work, let's get it done.

"The actual reality of human life is that we are a collection of fragile beings taking care of one another, and that those who do the lion’s share of this care work that keeps us alive are overtaxed, underpaid, and daily humiliated..."

Tell us again @LeoVaradkar about 'populist conspiracy theories' to distract from your utter negligence of these workers.

@EwanMacKenna Sure didn’t they close the middle aisle in Lidl to make sure no one profiteered in a pandemic. He definitely did say it though, I wondered how he kept a straight face
English
Someone might be able to help me out - fairly sure about nine months back Varadkar said that no one would profit or gain financially from Covid or during the pandemic or something to that effect. Was I dreaming?

This is not correct. SARS-CoV-2 is nothing like influenza virus from a virological or evolutionary standpoint.
A short thread on some big differences:

Covid is evolving in weeks and months the way flu evolves in years. Ominous.

One of the many reasons lockdowns failed is scientists may get humans, but clueless about people. All stick as they munch the carrot; all moans, no goals. Why not tell regions that reach Number X and they can open. More individuals will knuckle down, plus communities self-police.

@EwanMacKenna @seanburke1888 @deeforbes_dee @EamonRyan Also liable for corporation tax rather than paye of which they’d be in the top tax bracket. Depending on whether they pay themselves a dividend or a salary or or maybe use the ltd to pile cash. On top of VAT savings. Complete racket

@LeoVaradkar Ah here we go. Ireland's data in this graph is based on a Richard Chambers tweet repeating that Stephen Donnelly had no actual numbers but saying we were doing great. So it's spin with no actual data. See here.

Ewan MacKenna@EwanMacKenna
So @LeoVaradkar is using OurWorldInData to post great Irish vaccine numbers, and their one source as you can see below a @newschambers tweet which merely was government line saying we've no actual figures but doing great. That's one hell of a self-fulfilling prophecy right there.

@Revolution_IRL @caulmick So they have confused contingency planning with last minute planning. Explains a lot!

Louise : Do you have a plan B, Niall ?
Niall : There will always be contingency planning
Presenter : What is that contingency plan ?
Niall : I don't have it here now.
