It looks like somebody put a body kit on a Jag i-pace, horrendous
Ferrari has just officially unveiled its first ever all-electric car, called the Ferrari Luce. • Starting price: $640,000 • Interior co-designed with Apple's former head of design, Jony Ive • Range: 280 miles (expected EPA) • Peak charging speed: 350kW • 122 kWh battery • 1,050 horsepower • 0-60mph: 2.4s • 800v • Four-door four-seater • Four electric motors • OLED screens • Weight: 4,982 lbs • Front motors spin to 30,000 rpm, rears hit 25,500 rpm • Car uses an accelerometer to capture real vibrations from the electric motors & rear chassis. An algorithm filters out unpleasant frequencies and amplifies only the more “musical” sounds. This can be heard inside and outside the car. • Paddle shifter on steering wheel changes how aggressively torque is delivered, with five different levels • The trunk has 21.1 cubic feet of space, the largest luggage capacity the company has ever offered • 197.6 inches long, about as long as a Tesla Model S U.S. deliveries start in Q2 2027.

The same gov that recognises Palestinian statehood, is suddenly going to be supporting Israel militarily?
They'll have Irish 18 year olds annexing and genociding Lebanon and providing security for the resorts they'll build on the rubble in Gaza in 5 years if we drop the triple lock

Lowering electricity costs would benefit the better off who can affford EVs. I doubt i’ll be reading that anytime soon though
Cliff Taylor: Lowering fuel costs would benefit the better off in their big SUVs. Is that fair? irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/…

Not the big announcement Peader was hinting at i’m guessing
I have resigned my membership of Aontú. I have great respect for the many wonderful people I met and worked with in the party — hardworking, passionate individuals who genuinely want to see our country steered in a better direction, both locally and nationally. I joined Aontú because I believed its leadership truly listened to grassroots members and that policy and strategic decisions, at both local and national levels, reflected that input. Unfortunately, this has not been my experience. Over time, I came to the view that the party operates in a far more centralised and tightly controlled manner than I had anticipated. Rather than being the grassroots-led movement it presents itself as, I found decision-making to be concentrated within a small, left-leaning, group at the top. I dedicated significant time and energy to Aontú because I believed it valued internal democracy and meaningful member engagement. However, I have found that loyalty to leadership often takes precedence over open debate, initiative, and the raising of legitimate concerns. In my view, internal democracy should be the pillar around which any political party functions. Ireland is facing multiple national challenges, and I cannot in good conscience remain part of a party where I no longer have confidence in how it is governed. I sincerely wish the many dedicated members I worked alongside every success in the future. I now look forward to working with people who genuinely want to see our country steered in a decent direction — people who are prepared to stand up on key issues, encourage open discussion, and put principle above internal politics. I am immensely grateful to all those who have supported me in my political career so far and for every vote I have received at election. Thank you. I look forward to working with like-minded individuals to continue the journey for a better Ireland. Aisling Considine

Every artist should get $1 per stream.
Community note
$1 per stream to artists: 5.1T global on-demand audio streams in 2025 would require $5.1T annual payouts to rights holders. With 752M paid subscribers (IFPI), this means ~$565/month per user in payouts alone vs. today's $10-15 subscriptions, excluding profit margins. musicbusinessworldwide.com/half-of-all-pa… ifpi.org/ifpi-amidst-hi…

Just heard on the radio that over the last few years health spending is up 8bn to 22bn and staffing up 50k to 130k. That returned less than 4% output increase, Dept of Health have serious questions to answer about how they can use that level of resources for essentially nothing

🇮🇪 Sinéad Gibney, a member of parliament for the Social Democrats, has suggested Ireland consider the "nationalisation of online platforms." Gibney argued a compromise might be the state controlling the algorithms of tech platforms to ensure "social cohesion." Follow: @europa

5 years ago i’d have laughed at this. IOM which is traditionally way more conservative is now unquestionably the better place to live 🇮🇲

"We noticed some people were watching the fireworks without paying so we have spent a vast amount of resources to stop that"
Replying to @metpoliceuk
Primrose Hill will be closed on New Year’s Eve this year ⛔There will be fencing, security and a police presence to prevent access. If you had planned to head there to get a view of the central London fireworks, please make alternative arrangements.

Dear @elonmusk, Can you please make a change to X that forces public officials to leave their replies open instead of closing them like cowards? Sincerely, Everyone 🙏🏻
The horrific incident on the train in Huntingdon is deeply concerning. My thoughts are with those injured and affected. I am grateful to our emergency services for their swift response. I am in close contact with the Met and transport authorities to ensure all necessary support is provided. Anyone planning to travel on LNER services today should check before they travel.

The margins in retail are tiny. Aldis is 2%, and these lads think that they’ll be able to offer something cheaper 😂
People Before Profit has proposed the introduction of state-owned and non-profit grocery shops. What do you think? jrnl.ie/6833986

It’s called carrying over losses and literally every business does it.
BREAKING! Bank of Ireland and AIB made nearly €5 Billion in profit last year and paid almost NOTHING in taxes. AIB paid 0.3% in tax and BOI paid less than 2%! The two banks avoided paying over half a billion euros in taxes that could be helping workers and families

This would be the case if the government actually got 100 years of use out of public housing. But they don't they sell it to tenants for between 40 and 60% of market value. Despite the severe shortage of social housing the government has recently expanded the sales scheme!
“Better for Government.. to build its own public housing, keep and maintain it and get at least 100 years of use from it, than pay twice or three times the price of the dwelling in HAP to a private landlord and still not own it.”⁦@IrishTimesirishtimes.com/opinion/lette…
