@FedExHelpEU I tried to use customer support on your website to schedule a pick up for a return. It linked me to a form to fill out that doesn't exist on your site (fedex.com/en-ie/shipping/sch…) How can I schedule a pick up?

I’m here for Kratos v Jesus – at Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, Ireland
Still thinking about God of War Ragnarok. They've gone through the Greek and Norse pantheons. They could possibly pull double-duty with the Roman pantheon, but after that you start running out of gods to kill. That's when bold artistic choices are made.

This is great, but a bit broken that short term lettings are being tackled by the minister for tourism instead of the minister for focking housing – at Fingal, Ireland
🏡 About 12,000 homes will be shifted out of the short-term lettings market under new rules that will introduce sanctions for those who fail to comply, Minister for Tourism @cathmartingreen told media yesterday at the Green Party annual convention. #GPAC22 irishtimes.com/politics/2022…

Ireland is once again close (ish) to its real time zone. For a few months solar noon will be a little after 12pm rather than a little after 1pm. Then once again back to the nonsense #ditchdaylightsavings
Sounds similar but is the opposite of British gammon

What the absolute fuck
Judge Martin Nolan is at it again... Taxi driver who deliberately drove into a cyclist avoids jail and gets a suspended 18 month sentence independent.ie/news/taxi-dri…
Penalty points for driving offences should scale based on vehicle weight cause it’s a proxy for the risk to others. If speeding is 3 for a car it should be 4 or 5 for an SUV, maybe 7 for a lorry. Take an illegal left in an attic get 10.

Varadkar playing games with environmental legislation to undermine coalition partners. Bullshit move, drives home that FG don’t give a fuck about the climate emergency
This isn’t basic income, it’s a pilot grant scheme for artists. Proper basic income shouldn’t be tied to a profession, it should give people freedom to explore whatever they want
Exclusive: Artists will be paid €325 per week under a pilot basic income scheme to be brought before ministers on Tuesday. Long-awaited plans for the scheme will see artists guaranteed €1,300 a month at a cost of around €35m a year to the State. independent.ie/news/artists-…

Coolock Gardaí were on patrol in the Priorswood area when they saw this driver throw rubbish from their window. They were stopped and it was found that the driver was an unaccompanied Learner driver with expired tax. Their car was seized. Proceedings to follow. #SaferRoads

The guts of 20 houses by the Dodder in Clonskeagh, vacant for years as developers sit on them. The houses were perfect but are gradually becoming a dilapidated eye sore, and in the middle of a housing crisis

Is there any down side whatsoever to having a punitive dereliction/vacancy tax during a housing crisis?
