Interesting difference in how the Times (left) and the Independent (right) covered Bord na Móna's annual report this morning.
Both headlines factually correct but different approaches taken.

In June we brought 160 founders, investors, technologists and people trying to make an impact, together for a few days in the eastern Swiss Alps.
As a group, we examined technology from the perspectives of creativity, magic, and meaning.
It was an experiment, and it worked!👇

In exactly 90 days, I'm going to be hanging out in a Swiss alpine retreat with top leaders in tech, open source and VC.
It looks like this👇

My local hotel would have been a great location for #TheLastOfUs #TheLastOfUsHBO ! It has been deserted and derelict for about a decade. #OstanGhaothDobhair #Donegal #Ireland – at Donegal, Ireland

Today we're announcing new Solar PV grants of up to €2400 for businesses, public organisations and community groups.
Enabling even more people to switch to sustainable energy.

If I have one take-home message from the @TonightVMTV just now, it’s that FF/FG/SF stand shoulder to shoulder in not caring a whit about the #ClimateEmergency
They don’t get it & cos they clearly don’t WANT to get it
If this is our politics, then truly we’re fu@ked

If you don’t think this is the case, remind yourself what progress on #climate was made in Ireland from 2011–2020.
The answer: zero, zip, nada.

This is wild. The paper about it all is also wild. They also coated the dead spiders in bees wax because dried up corpses aren’t as good. Also it was funded by NASA.

Shoutout to this INSANELY great '90s super-Celtic-Tiger advert for Murphy's Irish Stout.
Pretty sure it got me and loads of other teenagers here into anime.
And pints.
