Incredible footage from American filmmaker Kraig Adams’ 100km solo trek through Hornstradir Nature Reserve in Northern Iceland.

Moved about 50m in 30 mins! 100s of cars idling in traffic, great job with the eco friendly festival so far #ATN19

So disappointed with #AllTogetherNow so far – took 6 and a half hrs to get here, no toilet roll in the toilets, v poor signage on how to get to the different campsites. Hundreds of people waiting to get registered for tents. Total mess. pic.twitter.com/Hc8lSj0S8Z

This afternoon.
Tolka Road, Drumcondra, Dublin 3
Local residents came out for a second Friday protest outside the Tolka branch of one of the Hyde and Seek Crèches featured in the RTÉ Investigates programme which found breaches in fire safety and child protection within the childcare facility.
Last Friday: In Loco Parentis
What a man, fantastic job, particularly liked the small hit of a crack in the voice at the very end, just like the original. :) https://t.co/kwQtTwjqfv

Hard to beat.
In fairness.
Thanks Jerry

Behold: the Austro Daimler Bergmeister ADR 630 Shooting Grand.
Austro Daimler -which made its last car in 1934 – was a subsidiary of the company that would go on to become Mercedes Benz in 1889. 85 years on, it’s back with this hybrid electric, all wheel drive, bubble-roofed, gullwinged 1,181bhp estate capable of 0-100km/h in 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 330km/h.
So now.
Price to be announced.
Wild Youth – Long Time No See
Your ex marks the spot…
Fresh from supporting Westlife at Croke Park and headlining the second stage at Longitude, the Irish pop/rock quartet led by Dave Whelan have already sold out their December headlining show in the Olympia.
ULTRAVIOLET’s stunning video for their new single is a perfectly shot tale of a dude bumping into his ex-girlfriend and remembering the one that got away.
It features great performances by actors Clara Harte and Michael-David McKernan.

#OTD in 1820, Irish scientist and mountaineer, John Tyndall was born in Leighlinbridge, Co. Carlow. Tyndall was the first to discover why the sky was blue! Take a closer look here: https://t.co/ZIkptGak0k #science #Ireland #Irishscientists #OnThisDay pic.twitter.com/xjOErA249s

Rising from a humble background in rural southern Ireland, John Tyndall became one of the foremost physicists, communicators of science, and polemicists in mid-Victorian Britain.
In science, he is known for his important work in meteorology, climate science, magnetism, acoustics, and bacteriology.
His discoveries include the physical basis of the warming of the Earth’s atmosphere (the basis of the greenhouse effect), and establishing why the sky is blue.
… Among other feats, Tyndall was the first to traverse the Matterhorn and the first to ascend the Weisshorn….
Overachiever.
In fairness.
You can’t get good coke residue in this town.
Or so you thought…
Via Newstalk:
The Newstalk Breakfast team test various public places – including the Natural History Museum (top) for cocaine residue as part of Newstalk’s ‘Cocaine Nation’ series.

FIGHT!
The posed photo of Mary Lou McDonald mimicking Carson is seriously cringey. Not sure why the Shinners think this is a good look for them. pic.twitter.com/h6PatgghDp
