Reclaiming the Beauty of the Spheres Sat Aug 09, 2025 13:00 | Dr David Bell
AI is a distraction from what it means to be truly human, says Dr David Bell. We should aim for far greater things, find again the vastness of the jewelled sky and the light that only shines in another's eye.

Why Are the Irish Media Ignoring an Apparent Islamist Knife Attack? Sat Aug 09, 2025 09:00 | Andrew Devine
When a man in Dublin stabs a police officer while shouting "Allahu Akbar" you can be pretty sure it's not the work of an indigenous Irishman. So why are the media at pains to pretend it is, asks Andrew Devine.

So is that it from Critical Mass? I've been looking for a post in upcoming events... nothing. looked for info on other sites and around town...nothing. Ah well there's always next year
did anyone do the council bike ride, did anyone tell those people about CM, did anyone talk with or check out how and why budapest worked??
hope CM grows for yez
Is there a ride next month? If so what is being done to promote it in order to boost attendance?
Here's some pics from todays ride, the group was small but hopefully can grow from here, My first ride of this kind and glad I participated,

Whilst I applaud any effort to get people to cycle as opposed to using cars etc, I'm not sure holding up traffic is the way forward. I know that's not the purpose here (I think) but it serves no purpose. There is no way to make drivers more conscious or respecting of cyclists...ignorant/obnoxious people are ignorant/obnoxious not because they're in a car but because they're that way anyway. You'll never rid society of such people.
It takes a lot to encourage people to take to the streets on bicycles above cars. I cycle to work - a distance of about 7-8 miles - but if there wasn't showers in my office, I wouldn't be cycling in. Cycle lanes help as well and they're becoming more plentiful at least.
Goodluck with the ride, hope to see CM Improving more and more, 30,000 in Budapest few years ago, can dublin better that, or even get close to that?
