I’d been using an Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT, a Bluetooth deck I’d bought myself and genuinely liked, and when Majority sent the Moto Plus over to put \[…\] The post Majority Moto Plus review: a capable turntable let down by its own design… ## [soundcloud share](https://smallsustainablenotes.bearblog.dev/sharing-my-soundcloud/) _2026-08-15 · smallsustainablenotes · Small Sustainable Notes_ Hello readers. Just signed up for SoundCloud. I am now recording and posting audio of me reading my blog posts. I have already embedded about six recordings here on Bear. Not all of my posts will have audio. Here’s my profile! ## [green tonic](https://smallsustainablenotes.bearblog.dev/green-tonic/) _2026-08-15 · smallsustainablenotes · Small Sustainable Notes_ Cupping the powdery, pretty flower, the trichomes sparkling on the stick, I can’t believe that, in the modern era, cannabis is seen as toxic, destructive, unwholesome. This glittery, sticky substance on the bud, purely existing to protect the plant from animals and insects, packed with cannabinoids and terpenes, is seen as precarious. Before, it was seen as a curative, a tonic. At least, this is… ## [PeriPage A40 review: The best ink printer alternative has no ink or toner](https://goosed.ie/reviews/peripage-a40-review-the-best-ink-printer-alternative-has-no-ink-or-toner/) _2026-08-11 · Marty · (untitled)_ A long long time ago I worked in an Elverys shop. I can t remember exactly how it happened, but one day after changing the till role I left it somewhere that it got really hot. It turned black. Blew my mind. I always thought all printers had ink or toner.

Not the easiest test either, a long distance call back home to Ireland, in a room full of people, with a lad standing right beside me shouting his order in over the counter.

I took a breath. This feeling was all too familiar, but I couldn’t put a name to it. I felt honed in by different ‘presences’ online, after unexpected bombardments from ads, opinions, images, and potential rabbit holes. Looking around, there were bodies on curbs of… ## [Revolut is giving away free ChatGPT Go, and Metal customers get a full year](https://goosed.ie/news/chat-gpt-free-with-revolut/) _2026-07-30 · Marty · (untitled)_ Revolut has announced a partnership with OpenAI that hands its retail customers ChatGPT Go at no extra cost, and the amount you get depends entirely on which plan you re already paying for.

That means they join up a fractured public transport network that doesn t always simply get commuters from A to B. It s often A to B to C or more.

My captivation with cannabis. When people were signing up for YouTube and Facebook, I was reading health and nutrition textbooks.

As usual, we went to the coffee shop in order to ease into the day alongside mochas and cappuccinos. My Punkt phone sat on the table as I looked at my hard copy notes. I couldn’t look up anything else on the World Wide Web which forced me to be present. I was drafting a future post.

I ve been taken aback by how quickly the conversation has escalated since. The Taoiseach is now leaning towards an outright ban and the Garda Commissioner says he would absolutely support one. Perhaps more surprising is public \[ \] The post How Ireland could make electric scooters safe… ## [Are flying cars closer to reality than we think?](https://goosed.ie/news/are-flying-cars-closer-to-reality-than-we-think/) _2026-07-17 · Marty · (untitled)_ When I think of some of my favourite movies, sci-fi often tops the list. And when I look at what makes the aesthetic of these modern, cyberpunk worlds so great, it s often the towering cities and the flying cars weaving between them.

For 90 days, I will be learning about mobility solely using audiobooks. Topics include mobility alternatives, the history of cars and life after it, and walking as an embodied experience.

Tire hit the asphalt. Was on my way to the gym to test out my two night lights. Better get it over with no matter how tired I feel. “I don’t normally do this. Go to the sauna after work,” I thought to myself. Another test for my low carbon transport experiment. It’s currently month three. What does it feel like not to depend on a metal box?

I’ve been getting better at reading other bloggers here on Bear as well as other platforms. When I first started this blog back in 2022, I was focused on my own creation and unique voice. Now, I’m making a conscious choice to inch more towards community building. Here is my blogroll featuring my personal favorites. ## [pod education: war on cars](https://smallsustainablenotes.bearblog.dev/what-i-learned-from-the-war-on-cars-show/) _2026-05-01 · smallsustainablenotes · Small Sustainable Notes_ Persuasion is useless, it is the cities' responsibility to reduce car dependency and promote mobility alternatives. That is one takeaway among many others I learned from the podcast “The War on Cars.” I've been binge listening to this show since early February starting from the archives in 2018 to the present day, adding up to 87 played episodes.

After reading “You Don’t Need a Smartphone,” written by August Lamm, I've decided to take the plunge. I came across the pro-privacy, humanistic consumer technology company, Punkt, after reading about it in the pamphlet.
