This morning.

Further to Fresher’s week shenanigans….

…the Gardai has agreed to supply college authorities at NUI Galway with the addresses of house parties they break up in an effort to curtail large gatherings, The irish Times reports…

City mayor Mike Cubbard said an enhanced degree of communication between gardaí and the college was one step agreed at a meeting held in the wake of the gatherings around the city.

“The gardaí have agreed to work with the college and give them addresses of houses where they have been called because of parties, and then the college will make contact with landlords,” Mr Cubbard said.

…In a statement the college authorities said it would not “hesitate in dealing with any breaches of public health guidelines in line with our Student Code of Conduct (which has penalties up to and including expulsion)”.

Gulp.

Of the most terrifying, relentless and seemingly intractable man-made problem faced by the world today, German educational design studio Kurzgesagt sez:

We have known for decades that rapid Climate Change is being caused by the release of Greenhouse Gases. But instead of reducing them, in 2019 the world was emitting 50% more CO2 than in the year 2000. And emissions are still rising. Why is that? Why is it  so hard to just stop emitting these gases?

If you don’t like your dialogue blue
Then stay clear of Lincolnshire Zoo
Where five talking birds
Just love dirty words
And they’ll happily shout them at you
