Great example!
Finland is a leader in capturing waste heat from data centers using existing pipe systems and feeding it into city-wide district heating networks, effectively turning server heat into a sustainable energy source for homes, schools, and businesses, significantly cutting emissions and costs.

Do read this. It’s by Brian Eno for @thenerve.news & it’s about this generation’s BandAid.
Lullaby is based on a traditional Palestinian melody, all proceeds go to Gaza, it would be amazing for it to be Xmas no 1, but more than that, buying it is a political act 👊

Very sorry to hear of the death of Stanley Baxter - a giant of Scottish entertainment. He brought incredible joy to generations. My sympathy to his family.
Comedian Stanley Baxter dies aged 99
Baxter, who was born in Glasgow, was one of the biggest stars on British television for several decades.

Corporate welfare is out of control.
One example - Drax produces electricity by burning trees, most expensive electricity, UK's biggest single polluter.
In 2024, Drax had £1.06bn operating profit, paid £100m dividend, £300m in share buyback.
Received billions in subsidies for decades. Why?

I'm deeply concerned about the wellbeing of prisoners who were involved in Palestine Action protests, and are currently on hunger strike.
Some have not eaten for six weeks. A number have been hospitalised. They are all being held on remand - without trial or conviction.

Trevor Philips, "What is the implication of the white poppy?"
Zack Polanski, "The white poppy began after WWI, mainly from women's groups, who talked about peace and antifascism"
"So on the same day we remember the fallen, it's also about looking to the future and saying, we want a world of peace"

Energy bills are already too high - yet under Labour, they’re going up again.
They promised lower bills, but today’s hike means bills are £187 higher since they took office.
In energy-rich Scotland, this is indefensible. Only independence can deliver lower bills for good.

The killings of Anas al-Sharif, Mohammed Qreiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa by the IDF is a war crime. They are civilians. The IDF must provide evidence of the terrorist claims, and explain why an entire tent was targeted when they would know other civilians would be present.
