This platform was never perfect, but it now spreads misinformation faster than the truth, drowns out science, and rewards outrage and hatred over dialogue. We're making this account dormant so our posts stay accessible. Join us where respect, science, and solutions thrive.

š§āāļø Saunas are fantastic for reconnecting with blue spaces, boosting outdoor time, and improving mental and physical health. āļø The lack sea swimming in Dun Laoghaire makes this project a missed opportunity. #BlueHealth š.
First impression: a fantastic idea! The 15-20 floating saunas in Oslo, where you can dive straight off the pontoon into the sea, are amazing. But then it hits youāif you canāt swim in the sea at Dun Laoghaire, whatās the point of a floating sauna?.

The type of railway station we deserve in Ireland!.
Just arrived in Berlin for the @die_gruenen weekend Congress, and that's an impressive Hauptbahnhof Railway station. With elections one month away here I'm looking forward to the debates.

The main barrier to public transport is not price, but quantity and quality. However, it would be nice to see employers such as the @HSELive subsidise public and active transport instead of providing free parking to staff.
