I was 6 when these men were explaining that men are better at bottling up their emotions and that a women’s place is in the home, not our leading the country! pic.twitter.com/vNKnmS4kbg

Old school Dublin dudes share the wisdom that would leave many of them divorced, bitter and sleeping in their own clothes within a few short years.
Damn you, so-called equality.
Name those chauvinists, anyone?

Behold: the BMW C400X ‘Golden Age’ – a transformative art deco version of the C400X scooter made possible by a bolt-on nostalgia kit from NMoto (you’ll recall their version of the BMW R nineT).
A complete revamp – leaving all the underlying modern tech and performance intact, inspired by a 1936 J.K. Henderson prototype from O. Ray Courtney, the shells will be released next year.

Pfizer vaccine volunteer, Glenn Deshields, a lobbyist from Austin, Texas, USA compares the side effects of the Pfizer rona jab to “a severe hangover” without any preceding hooch-filled fun.

A letter from Roger Casements GAA Coventry to GAA HQ. Currently racial abuse in the GAA is seen as a Category IV offence – a minimum of 8 weeks suspension – whereas threatening language towards a referee is a Category V offence – receiving a minimum of 12 weeks suspension in all codes and at all levels
This morning/afternoon.

Roger Casements GAA Coventry are attempting to get the GAA to change their punishment and discipline process for racial abuse.
[Currently racial abuse in the GAA is seen as a Category IV offence whereas threatening language towards a referee is a Category V offence – receiving a minimum of 12 weeks suspension in all codes and at all levels.]
We think in this day and age it is unacceptable that the GAA takes such a lenient line on racism with a minimum of a mere 8 weeks considered appropriate punishment for such a disgusting and heinous act.

What colour does the Moon appear to be? Well, that all depends. To wit:
Outside of the Earth’s atmosphere, the dark Moon, which shines by reflected sunlight, appears a magnificently brown-tinged grey. Viewed from inside the Earth’s atmosphere, though, the moon can appear quite different. The featured image highlights a collection of apparent colours of the full moon documented by one astrophotographer over 10 years from different locations across Italy. A red or yellow coloured moon usually indicates a moon seen near the horizon. There, some of the blue light has been scattered away by a long path through the Earth’s atmosphere, sometimes laden with fine dust. A blue-coloured moon is more rare and can indicate a moon seen through an atmosphere carrying larger dust particles. What created the purple moon is unclear — it may be a combination of several effects. The last image captures the total lunar eclipse of 2018 July — where the moon, in Earth’s shadow, appeared a faint red — due to light refracted through air around the Earth. The next full moon will occur at the end of this month (moon-th) and is known in some cultures as the Beaver Moon.
