Bath Night
atIn case you missed it.
Last night’s Broadsheet on the Telly.
With Vanessa Foran and Jimmy Smyth.
Vanessa, a former champion swimmer, writes:
Dr Patrick Earls (top right), a North Inner City GP and climate change activist, joined us to talk about his Campaign with Dr Mark Murphy to stop Dublin City Keegan‘s White Water Rafting plan for the Georges Dock site (top left), and have it reconfigured into an open air Dublin City Lido, or Public ‘bats’ if you prefer.
We swam through many of the now defunct open air swimming facilities that lay abandoned around the country, plunged into the resurge in outdoor swimming and went green with envy over the pools, lidos and swimming spots in the UK and in Europe.
Show your support by signing the petition and remind Dublin City Keegan that People still make Dublin City their home.
And yes, Dr Earls will be back on with us. Sorry the lads don’t do Speedos, but they don’t do wetsuits either. So there’s that.
Splutter!

Try the baby powder test. If they are magnetic, then it will still stick after you dust the area with baby powder. pic.twitter.com/78m3QS9Bpf

This morning.
Man ‘debunks’ the vaccine magnet challenge using baby powder on sticky skin.
That’s settled that then.
Meanwhile…
So many videos of people sticking magnets to their arms where they have had the jab on here past few days. Why is social media deleting and banning anyone that shares these videos? What is it they don’t want people knowing 🤔

This afternoon.
The Rotunda hospital, Dublin
A protest against Covid-19 restrictions on partner visits in maternity care, part of a series of demonstrations organised by the Association for Improvements in the Maternity Services (AIMS).
Meanwhile…
You tell him.
Previously: When Partners Are Excluded
Behold: the dusty central Milky Way rising over the ancient Andean archaeological site of Yacoraite in northwestern Argentina. To wit:
The denizens of planet Earth reaching skyward are the large Argentine saguaro cactus currently native to the arid region. The unusual yellow-hued reflection nebula above is created by dust scattering starlight around red giant star Antares. Alpha star of the constellation Scorpius, Antares is over 500 light-years distant. Next to it bright blue Rho Ophiuchi is embedded in more typical dusty bluish reflection nebulae though. The deep night skyscape was created from a series of background exposures of the rising stars made while tracking the sky, and a foreground exposure of the landscape made with the camera and lens fixed on the tripod. In combination they produce the single stunning image and reveal a range of brightness and color that your eye can’t quite perceive on its own.

Time Off
atKojaque – Town’s Dead
“I just had my head kicked in.”
So begins the new single and title track from the new album by Dublin rapper Kevin Smith (top) aka Kojaque.
The 26-year-old MC has also made a film to accompany the record: Town’s Dead – The Movie.
If the innovative vid here is anything to go by, strap yourselves in, it’s gonna be a helluva ride.

Unfortunately Portobello Plaza is closed this weekend & we appeal to the public not to come here. We are aware of the importance of public spaces but some behaviour at this location in recent weeks has been completely unacceptable. https://t.co/OgTe0dCnX0#Portobello #Dublin pic.twitter.com/hSXZoe5bUd

Oh.
This morning.
That’ll learn them.
Thanks Bebe
Meanwhile…
We have Gardai to enforce law breaking. We have bye laws which can be enforced re: anti social behaviour + littering etc. You can't just close off public spaces in a democracy because the State won't enforce the law.

Yesterday.
It’s a win win.
Meanwhile…
While Krispy Kreme is offering free doughnuts to people who are vaccinated against Covid-19, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine is betting dollars to those donuts.
The state will give away millions of dollars to vaccinated people and full scholarships to vaccinated children through special lotteries.
It’s just the latest and perhaps most extreme of efforts being made by governments, employers, sports teams and others to motivate more people to get vaccinated.
