Check out this satellite map of Dublin from 1966! Yep that's right, on 19 February 1966, a KH-7 GAMBIT reconnaissance satellite operated by the CIA passed over Dublin. This magic window on our city just before things went international. You can zoom in to surprising detail. Go fullscreen then use the transparency slider at the bottom right so you can compare now with 66'! KH-7s primary purpose was Cold War espionage against Soviet and Chinese nuclear and missile installations. This slice of swinging Dublin was used to calibrate. Mad what I find lying around the Dublin Time Machines magic drawers. The photo below is just a screenshot, you've to click the link spacefromspace.com/declassified-s…

@itsjohncrotty @ConorHogarty I highly recommend a visit.

The British Empire feared attack from every direction So it built a supreme Fortress - but not in Britain It built it on an Irish Island - here is its story (1)

@dohville @realLangerDan Imagine you’ve just bought the new tractor and a couple of months later, your business plan which enables you to pay for it gets torn up. I have huge sympathy for any person whose livlyhood is screwed by one man’s narcissism. Desperate times make for desperate measures.

Aside from the fact that for years, European taxpayers have subsidised farmers to produce extra food we don’t need to ensure their livelihoods but at a time of temporary global energy crisis, they come out and disrupt the lives of the public and cause public endangerment.

@AkaPaulHoward I just moved my sofa out from the wall so that I can hide behind it.

Liverpool Football Club.

@cathalcoleman11 I often wonder why some are irritated by military rank. Captain (retired) Tom Clonan, even while a serving member of the DF’s, was never afraid to call it as it is. You might not like to hear what he has to say but you should certainly listen to him.

Very good letter, though, with respect, I find the military moniker a little off-putting.

@ClarksonsFarm1 Treat others as you would hope that they would treat you.

What is the best advice you have ever received?

Rest in peace to a legend of FAFO Justice films. #ChuckNorris

Charlatans. It will take days for excise duty reduction to kick in. Price rises were immediate, even when oil was already paid for and in stock. Utter profiteering.

@markgoldbridge Aged well all right. Vintage Salah.

.......

The UK is studying and will implement how the Danes control immigration, which was a major plank of Brexit. Last time I looked, Denmark was in the EU. You couldn’t make that up! 🤡🤡🤡

I think that if you’re going to write a piece in the Times urging the government to use and boost more AI, the fact that you are paid by a major AI company should be in the first sentence, or at least first paragraph. I also think that the best scenario for AI is that it destroys millions of jobs with the prosperity, dignity and community that goes with them. The worst scenario is the destruction of the human race - a fear openly expressed by an increasing number of senior and experienced AI engineers who are leaving the industry. And somewhere in between a myriad of horrors such as yet more screen learning and screen addiction for our children. But I do see that it will make rich men even richer. And that’s the most important thing of course.

@markgoldbridge Rugby was stellar.

Shearer and Dublin with the pundits chemistry of Ronald McDonald and a Vegatarian. Literally just put the Winter Olympics on

@AkaPaulHoward Solid. No gaps in that wall!

Tears streaming down my face

@HelenORahilly Price gouging by a sector that depends on reputation isn’t a very clever move. IMO, restaurants on Valentine’s night are usually very disappointing. An evening in the pub beckons.

One of the best pubs with the best loos in Dublin. Hedigans. The Brian Boru.

@OnDisasters Super film! And he looks great for 60.

Top Gun Maverick Aerial sequences were awesome, but - and I´m being a boring nerd here - for me the movie died when they got a 60 y-o fighter pilot stealing an old F-14 with a Rio less than half his age and getting away with it. Regardless, cool flick

@philipnolan1 Great Telly!

They did it! Masterclass. #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUK

@Nick___Collins Nothing new there. I don’t understand their anti Liverpool agenda. Pair of idiots.

Liverpool are 4-1 up and haven’t gotten out of 2nd gear. TNT Sports have made out they battered us 😂

@philipnolan1 Amanda was a detective? Not a great advertisement for the British Police!

I thought we outgrew ‘I’m a better friend than you are’ in high babies. Fiona let herself down, badly. #TheTraitorsUK #TheTraitors
