Envy! Paris is building another métro line, No 14, from Saint-Denis-Pleyel to Orly Airport every 4 minutes, then starting another, 15 - orbital, 50 metres underground - which will be will be the world's longest underground rapid transit tunnel dedicated to passenger service, one of four new lines of Grand Paris Express, a major expansion project of the Paris Métro #subway #trains https://www.lemonde.fr/economie/article/2025/01/19/transports-en-ile-de-france-des-depenses-colossales-pour-aboutir-a-une-offre-unique-au-monde_6504690_3234.html

Christ, do Americans want to destroy their own economy? Of course the US needs to reclaim a manufacturing industry, but immigrants fuel the economy, and "America's presence overseas" is its trading posts for profitable interaction with other countries and blocs #economy #America

By the way, @HazelChu, it was particularly bitter for me that you called at my house and asked for my son by name and asked for his vote (which you'll have).

I won't vote for you.

I can't vote for you, I might add - I don't have a degree, and this ageist (because old people are less likely to have graduated) and classist (poor people ditto) Seanad vote excludes the old and poor, so we have a très-snob-appeal senate

I notice more and more reporters and commentators pronouncing the indefinite article to rhyme with bay rather than bat, a horrid affectation that is soiling the language #pronunciation #a #yuck

In Turtle Bunbury's The Glorious Madness, a series of essays about the Irish in WWI, he has a story about Valentine Browne. Years after the war a woman said to him, "Lord Castlerosse, if that stomach was on a woman, I would say she was pregnant." Quick as a flash, he came back, "Half an hour ago it was - and she is!"

@HazelChu Is there any way of starting up #BlaBlaCar in Ireland? If it was taken up in any decent way it would cut the number of cars being used in rural areas. (I first heard of it when talking to a Breton call centre worker who was off to Lyon, and had booked a lift with someone going on BlaBlaCar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlaBlaCar

I'm teaching a course from next week in how to write stories - sign up here if you're interested https://mit.enrol.ie/crumlinaejan25/ApplicationForm.aspx?CID=756150796b756d3549376b51585349616950364139413d3d - it's a very ordinary practical course on how stories work. It's a bit like chess: very easy game, but hard to play well #bookstodon #writing

The coming ceasefire in the war on Gaza would be a wonderful relief, if one thought it meant that Jews and Arabs would now share Israel in equality and kindness… but somehow I don't think that's coming yet
