NEW: This year, Dublin will become the latest European capital to bar thru-traffic from its city centre. Private cars & commercial trucks will be allowed access only if their final destination is downtown. The goal is a 60% traffic reduction in the centre.

#Introduction for my new followers. Thanks for following! ❤️

A forty-something single guy traveling the world with his dog 🐶. Everything I own fits in a 30kg + 10kg bag. I own 10 pairs of underwear. 😉 I like minimalism, I don't need houses or cars to please. I prefer absolute freedom.

I love to learn about new cultures and fully engage with them. I condemn all forms of racism and hate speech. 🤚🏼 1/2

X makes me think of rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic

I don’t quite understand how Meta can see Twitter being slowly dismantled, have years of understanding of what users actually want from Twitter, and then build something that’s worse than Twitter.

Sixty-six million years ago, an asteroid slammed into what is today the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. The impact was so forceful that it kicked a tremendous amount of debris out of the atmosphere, which then rained back down, blanketing the Earth's surface with a layer of dust.

All that debris re-entering the atmosphere created a pulse of heat so strong that it set the world on fire.

Wishing everyone a great day, except those who start their DMs with "I hope this message finds you well." For them, I hope they accidentally step on a LEGO, reminding them that there are better ways to start a (sales) conversation.
