CO2; In the Oxfam study, Elon Musk produces roughly 5,497 tonnes of CO2 per year, equivalent to 834 years’ worth of emissions for the average person, or 5,437 years’ worth for someone in the poorest 50 per cent.
It also found that, for someone flying on a commercial jet in economy class, they pay a 43 per cent air tax (relative to ticket prices), while flying in business class it’s 23 per cent. But for private flights? It’s only a two per cent tax.
“We know that the the richest one per cent of people are responsible for half of all air travel emissions in the world. So it’s really going after this rich polluter elite that is going to help us in curbing air travel emissions,” Thomson said.

The Irish Lalors
The Irish Lalors were rebels, politicians, and social justice advocates well before Eureka. Alongside the O’Moores and the other prominent septs of County Laois, the Lalors were active in at least 15 rebellions against the British between 1565 and 1601. The 1602 Lalors and their fellow septs captured the Commander-In-Chief of the British Forces in Ireland, Earl Ormond, and held him for ransom in exchange for 3000 pounds but more importantly the release of the Irish from bondage. Finally, these troublesome Irish were run off their lands and transmigrated to County Kerry and the Caribbean. https://tintean.org.au/2024/

BONE: Certain medications are associated with poor bone health. For example: proton pump inhibitors (which are used to treat heartburn), selective serotonin receptor inhibitors, anticonvulsants that control seizures, glucocorticoids (steroid hormones), and the blood thinner heparin. “If you need them, you need them,” Jablonski says. But it’s possible you could talk to your doctor about switching to a different medication, or only staying on for a short time. “Always ask questions and do your own research with reliable sources,” she advises. Go easy on the alcohol and caffeine—and quit smoking.

ADHD: Imagine a mind that’s constantly buzzing, leaping from one thought to the next, struggling to filter out the noise of a world that feels perpetually turned up to 11. That’s the experience of living with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, a reality I know intimately. It has profoundly shaped my journey as a scientist, from the setbacks of my early years to the discoveries I’ve made in my laboratory.
My journey was like navigating a rushing stream in a rickety boat, constantly bumping against rocks and obstacles, getting sidetracked by every intriguing path that appears along the banks. School days often ended in exhaustion, not just from the mental exertion of trying to learn in a whirlwind of distractions, but from the sheer effort of trying to fit in. By second grade, I had collected a series of labels: “lazy,” “unmotivated,” “disruptive,” even “lost cause.” My teacher, exasperated by my inability to conform, even wanted to hold me back

The following poem was written by James Dineen, son of Charles Dineen and Johannah McCarthy and published in the Stevens Point Journal, a daily newspaper in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, in March 1909. Donald Dineen, grandson to James, kindly submitted this poem.
See Dineen Moloney
SAINT PATRICK’S.
In days of yore on Erin’s Shore,
The sprig of green they oft had seen,
A Christian stood alone,
He gently plucked from Erin’s sod,
A stranger in a pagan land,
To make the people understand
No friend to call his own.
The mystery of the living God.
Twas Patrick, fair, who landed there,
In Tara’s hall he met with all
A youthful saint from Rome,
The Druids with ancient pride,
To plant the cross on hill and plain,
Who listened to the words he
Spoke and in each pagan home.
Of Christ, the crucified.
In fancy now we see him bow,
O, Erin fair, for ages there,
And kneel in silent prayer,
The victory Patrick won,
Yet none but God and Patrick knew
Was handed down on battlefield,
The homage offered there.
from Celtic sire to son.
From shore to shore he traveled o’er,
Though forced to roam, exiles from home,
That famed isle of green,
Though crushed by tyrant’s hand,
No hand was raised to mar the saint,
They spread the faith St. Patrick gave,
No bloodstain there was seen.
To many a distant land.
Jas. P. Dineen. Custer, Wis., March 14, 1909
