Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?

That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

Planting native trees to reforest is a pretty good thing for the planet and its people. Itโ€™s great for the soul too. Thanks to all the volunteers who showed up today to plant 172 new trees; 10 different species in Huntersville with TreesCharlotte.org

Top military lawyer concerned about Trump โ€˜drug boatโ€™ strikes was ignored: report The senior judge advocate general reportedly raised concerns that the airstrikes against the alleged โ€˜narco-terroristsโ€™ could amount to extrajudicial killings

When the top JAG at Southern Command told the Pentagon that their plans to blow up fishing boats based on suspicions that they might have drugs in the cargo hold was certainly illegal, Hegseth simply ignored him, while others told him his career was over. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Glimmers of hope; Midterms polling. Results in VA NJ OH GA CA NYC. We may survive this yet. Waiting to see the SCOTUS ruling on tariffs. Ironically would be a good off ramp for Trump re: cost of living but heโ€™s too dumb/demented to get it.

Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

Going into Supreme Court arguments over
President Donald Trump's tariffs on Wednesday, it was genuinely difficult to guess how the justices would rule. Within minutes, that suspense vanished. The hearing was a bloodbath for the Trump administration: Six justices lined up to bash the Justice Department's defense of the tariffs, barely disguising their annoyance with the government's barrage of blustery nonsense. At the halfway point, it would've saved everyone time had the court just huddled, announced its decision from the bench, and recessed early for lunch. Trump's signature trade policy-which he expected to raise trillions of dollars for him to use as he wished-looks dead on arrival at SCOTUS. We have spent ten months waiting to see if, and when, this court would set a limit on Trump's power. Perhaps we should've guessed that its extraordinary deference to this president could be outweighed only by its hatred of taxes.
