Unfortunately, I do not have good news. The Severe Weather threat for tomorrow has only trended up. We are staring down a full fledged Tornado Outbreak. I haven't see environmental conditions this favorable to Tornadoes in June in a long time. The National Weather Service Office in Chicago is calling them "literally off the charts" favorable for Tornadoes. The Conditions present tomorrow⬇️ ✅ Extreme Low Level Helicity, likely greater than 500 = Air will be twisting like crazy near the surface, making it stupid easy for Strong Tornadoes to form ✅ Strong Low Level 0-3km Cape = Fast rising motion near the surface ✅ Upper air support (500mb Jet Streak) = Strong Wind shear, meaning the entire Storm will rotate. This will also make Storms move fast, likely racing near 60mph. ✅ Small Temperature to Dewpoint spreads = Low LCL's meaning the clouds will be lower making it much easier for Tornadoes to reach the ground With this type of environment, "Long Track, strong-violent Tornadoes" are also possible according to NWS Chicago. Tomorrow is not a day to take lightly, my brotheren. We may not see a risk like this for a long time. Have a plan in place if you do get a warning - knowing where you'll go and what you'll do. I pray tomorrow Busts. I'll keep watching this like a Hawk 🦅

When Nokia engineers examined the original iPhone in the summer of 2007, they found a 2-megapixel camera with no flash, no autofocus, and no video. Their flagship phone, released three months earlier, had a 5-megapixel Carl Zeiss lens (the optics brand used in Leica cameras), autofocus, an LED flash, and video recording. Nokia beat Apple on every camera specification. Nokia also no longer makes phones. Apple's advantage came from three engineering decisions, none of which appeared on a spec sheet. Speed was the first. Nokia's camera took 6 seconds just to open the app, with the whole process reaching 8 seconds before a first photo could be taken. Apple chose fixed focus deliberately, locking the lens at a fixed point where anything from arm's length to the horizon stays sharp. With the autofocus delay gone, the whole process took under 2 seconds from pocket to saved photo. For the actual photos people take of people and places, that speed was worth more than 3 extra megapixels. The second decision was matching resolution to the actual use case. A 2-megapixel image is 1,600 by 1,200 pixels. The iPhone's own screen in 2007 was 320 pixels wide. The most common destination for a camera phone photo was a text message or an email with a file size limit. Apple sized the sensor for where photos were going, not for what looked best on a product box. The third decision was the path from shutter to shared. Sharing a photo on the Nokia N95 meant opening the image, pressing Options, choosing Send, picking Bluetooth or email or a picture text, and working through sub-menus from there. On iPhone, every photo went straight into a built-in album, swipeable with a finger, emailable in two taps. Apple designed the camera as a communication tool first. Nokia held roughly half of global smartphone sales in 2007. By 2013, that number had collapsed to single digits. Microsoft bought Nokia's phone business for $7.2 billion and wrote off virtually the entire investment as a loss within 15 months. Digital camera shipments peaked at 121 million units in 2010 and fell 94% by 2023. Apple became the company most closely linked to the phrase "digital camera" in media analysis by 2013, built from a sensor that lost to Nokia on paper. The Nokia engineers who analyzed that first iPhone were right that the numbers didn't add up. The market had simply stopped counting them.

Jack Chambers urged every major Irish sporting body to use their "influence and authority" to enforce bans on Russia and Belarus after the invasion of Ukraine. Yesterday government defeated proposals calling for the Ireland-Israel match to be stopped. ontheditch.com/jack-chambers…

The Spurs know how to TAKE the lead, they just don't know how to HOLD the lead. And that's really the most important part of the lead: the holding

Ireland has 3 times more data centres per capita than Britain. Ireland has the highest (by far) electricity bills in Europe. You are financing the data centres that are destroying your environment AND you are paying carbon taxes for cooking your dinner & heating your home. They are robbing us blind.
They told you the planet is dying… and you’re the problem. Your food. Your habits. Your existence. Meanwhile, behind closed doors, something else is growing. AI data centres in the UK alone could pump out 123 million tonnes of carbon emissions — the equivalent of millions of human lives over a decade. But where’s the outrage? Instead, they blame cows… tax farmers… and squeeze the people who actually feed you. While tech giants expand quietly… signing deals… building systems that never sleep… and never get questioned. Different rules. Different targets. Same script. So let me ask you… Why are everyday people being punished… while the biggest emitters keep getting rewarded? Is this really about saving the planet… or controlling who pays the price? Drop your thoughts below — I want to hear what you think. And if this made you stop and think for even a second… share it. More people need to see this.

Two more US Air Force Hercules C130's passed through Shannon today (4th June) - RCH679 & RCH680 (reg: 95-1002 & 96-1006). Both flew from Ramstein to RAF Mildenhall in England to Shannon. And from Shannon they went on to St Johns in Newfoundland. [1/3]

So in 2 days, Shannon has had four C130 Hercules aircraft of the 133rd Airlift Wing of the US Air Force. This unit is based at Minneapolis–Saint Paul Joint Air Reserve Station. The two from yesterday are already back at their base after a refueling stop at St Johns. [2/3]

All four are operational US military flights. Approved by @dfatirl and Minister @HMcEntee. And all four breach Irish neutrality AND the government's policy with regard to military flights. [3/3]

The Wang Shannon inter-firm jersey from 1989. League champions too!!! Lost the cup final in extra time to be denied a famous double.
This is the pinnacle of football jersey design. It is like the VW Beatle or the Fender Stratocaster. It is just perfect
