- Reposted by Gavin SheridanThis is what Harvey Weinstein did, when he hired Black Cube to investigate Ronan Farrow. It is catastrophically bad for anyone involved in politics to be doing the same thing. It is also: very fucking stupid indeed.

- Reposted by Gavin SheridanThis is cycling in Copenhagen. No hi-vis. No helmet mandates. People cycle because it’s safe — by design. This is what cycling should look like. Ireland is moving in the opposite direction. Instead of designing safe places to cycle, we're blaming the people cycling...

- Reposted by Gavin SheridanI guess if I ran the transport for one of the few EU countries without a rail link to the airport from the capital; without decent cycle or walking infrastructure, in a car clogged pollution nightmare, this is the kind of badly researched ill-informed nonsense I’d be expected to produce.

- Fast forward a few years and we're still stuck in a loop of not being prepared - and being shocked at heavy rainfall, not even having adequate (or any) realtime flood alerts or comprehensive weather warnings. Rinse/repeat.

- Reposted by Gavin SheridanContinuing a long tradition of putting his name on things and then unceremoniously closing them down
- Reposted by Gavin SheridanHe’s destroying everything—acting like these buildings are his. Also the real reason he’s closing it is because literally no one will perform there anymore after he slapped his name on it and this way he gets to claim “under construction” instead of the actual reality which is everyone loathes him.
- Reposted by Gavin SheridanTrump is shutting down the Kennedy Center because artists are boycotting. It also sounds like he's going to physically tear it down. That's what powerful losers do: Anything they can't have, they destroy.

- Reposted by Gavin SheridanTim Pool: “I’m not licking the boot. It’s my boot. I voted for it. I’m the one stomping…” This mindset is genuinely pathetic. It’s an alpha fantasy: watching state violence and imagining you’re exercising power rather than the one submitting to it. /1
