Petition: Nationalise water companies to make water a non profit publicly owned asset To make water a non profit making national asset that ensures we have a secure water infrastructure that ensures our water security for future generations.

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75... I’m not sure if this is even possible but as somebody somewhere said β€œyou can have clean water and you can have privatised water but you can’t have clean privatised water”.

AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations Leading AIs from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google opted to use nuclear weapons in simulated war games in 95 per cent of cases

I’m sure the extensive use of AI at the Pentagon is going to be great.

A tiny wooden cabin, green, with a central chimney and large windows overlooking a small porch. It is sitting in lovely green woods.

New Research Uncovers Shocking Level of Trade in Protected Chambered Nautiluses β€’ The Revelator The beautiful marine mollusks have international protections, but sale of their shells continues by the tens of thousands.

The number of nautilus shells that we think are needed to sustain the trade in nautilus shell inlay furniture and handcrafts is indeed in the tens of thousands per year. https://therevelator.org/chambered-nautilus-trade/

The Guardian view on the BBC World Service: this is London calling | Editorial Editorial: With just seven weeks before its funding runs out, the UK’s greatest cultural asset and most trusted international news organisation must be supported

And another bites the dust?

The BBC World Service will run out of funding in just seven weeks. Its funding arrangement with the Foreign Office finishes at the end of March. There is no plan for what happens next.

Today's coffee stop, on The Stuic, looking to Lochnagar. It's bonkers how much snow is bulging in the distance, above the coire. Difficult to gauge scale but that drooping tongue of snow is still more than 1.5km away! There were two walkers passing above it but you can't see them, they're so small.

I’ve moved! I’ve set up a bigger space in the Scottish Design Exchange in Buchanan Galleries

More Glasgow illustrated maps, more architecture prints and more tea towels. I’ll be restocking more regularly so this is the place to shop if you’re looking for any of my artwork.
