This thread on surreal sculptures and statues will blow your mind 🧵 1. Melancholy a sculpture by Albert Gyorgy, shows the emptiness that grief leaves behind

A classic case of maladministration? How many other planners were ignored @DarraghOBrienTD & did your department ever carry out any audit of @LocalGovIre ? #flooding #howirelandworks Who signed off on this planning permission in #Kerry

Comments from Housing Estates Unit Kerry Co. council in relation to a development on the estate pictured in this article. Permission was granted a month later. Hopefully this person stood up on their desk yelling ‘I told you so!’ before cutting off the boss’ tie and storming out.

Well it's arrived. Interesting to jump from pleurocarps to Sphagna, and some of the nomenclature is unfamiliar, but certainly it is beautifully illustrated with some useful images. One can never have too many books about bryophytes. Now to brush up on my O level French (Grade B).

My family are always asking what I want for Christmas. This year I know. Should be published later this month. I have found Volume 1 very useful. leclub-biotope.com/en/naturalist-…

Interesting to note the Minister rewarded the originator of the 'White Elephant' at the Hellfire with this appointment to Fáilte Ireland and completely ignored the voices of 31K objectors to this unsustainable tourist project. #Election2024

If we have lobbyists, public relations people & communication strategists on offering opinions about success and failure in the election, should each interview not start with a question over whether they were working with any party or candidate? #GeneralElection2024 #GE24

This must be stopped- they are literally taking the food from mouths of whales Krill can remove as much as 23 megatons of c02 from the atmosphere annually. and supports the diets of several whale species, including the largest animals to ever exist, seabirds, seals, and more.

The #krill fleet is pushing #Antarctic ecosystems to the brink, and without action, everything we’ve fought for could be undone. We're heading back to hold them accountable—and we’re doing it when they least expect it.

"Bumblebee population increases 116 times over in 'remarkable' Scotland rewilding project." Read that again: **116** times. Why are we STILL having to argue the case for rewilding?? scotsman.com/hays-way/bumbl…

Thermal imaging video of an American Mink (Mustela vison) preying on lampreys at Annacotty weir last night. This individual is responsible for at least some of the lamprey mortalities I reported earlier this week. I observed it repeatedly catching lampreys and placing them below…

Our brains love to see patterns in randomness. A thread on the beauty of Pareidolia 🧵 1. Known as "the thinking tree" by locals, this olive tree in Apulia, Italy, is over 1500 years old.

🧵Major investigation by the Journal reveals extent of data centre pollution and reliance on dirty fossil fuels. Our politicians must press pause on dirty data centre expansion until threats to security and climate has been removed.

Climate-impacting emissions are being released from Irish data centres using off-grid generators. Some planned data centres also intend to be powered by natural gas due to challenges connecting to the grid, threatening Ireland's climate commitments Read: jrnl.ie/6554698t

More footage of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) attempting to pass Annacotty Weir this week. These fish are on their spawning migration but cannot find the entrance to the poorly designed fish pass at this location. They repeatedly attempt to pass this barrier, wasting valuable…

It's rare I get a chance to fully articulate my views on nitrogen water pollution, but this show did exactly that. If you want to know what's actually going on with agri water pollution in Ireland, amid all the positive spin and bluster, listen to this: soundcloud.com/tippmidwestrad…

In the minority of cases where we know where outfalls are, road runoff pollution is still not included in River Basin Management Plans, although it may contain arsenic, lead, oil, PFAS, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, the harm of which @stormwater_jo explains below:

It rained heavily last night and so I woke up to find my river had turned dark grey/almost black with a sheen of oil stretching along its entire surface. Road run off really looks like the next sewage scandal in the making. We are allowing a cocktail of damaging chemicals to…

She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes; Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. Lord Byron, 1813
