Dublin via West (West) Cork
- I was able to back squat 100kg tonight at the gym, just after two weeks of being laid up over lower back pain, that I thought would set me back at age with all things gym🙌
- Gowan New Brunswick!
- I fully expect those who complain endlessly about a 'nanny state', supporting with gusto, these new rules for hi-viz and helmets for cyclists.
- Twitter tells Ireland to get stuffed. Meanwhile in France, their offices are raided. apnews.com/article/fran...
- This has been the weather since 2026 began. I can't remember a period of such endless rain. Maybe its because I'm in Dublin too long, and I've gone soft from the weather here, compared to the endless rain of West Cork, but even for me, this is *too* much rain.
- I'm cautious about political change coming to Hungary, after 26 years of Orbán in power, but the optimistic polling, as Szabolcs highlights, is mirrored elsewhere, such as Politico's Poll of Polls. April 12 could be a monumental day for Hungary, and Europe.
- I do LOL when people mention "the next US presidential election", as we'll then be rid of Trump. There won't be another US presidential election.
- A bit mad that Matteo Salvini is described as a moderate here.
- The only legacy of Dublin hosting the NFL last year will be those unwanted murals*, and a loss of allot of money that would have been far better spent elsewhere. *Which I fully expect DCC to leave in place to deteriorate until the Sun swallows the Earth.
- And only crickets from Dublin...
