Last year, data centers used 264 billion gallons (1 trillion liters) of water, mostly to cool their fossil fuel power sources — which are also heating the planet and reducing freshwater availability. If we keep going like this, there's going to be no water left for Sarah Arabic's t-shirt 🥵

Well, if it’s 6 October, it’s the 83rd anniversary of the day the world was deprived of Ignatius Trebitsch-Lincoln, who was born a Hungarian Jew, elected to the House of Commons, spied for Germany in both world wars, and eventually declared himself the 14th Dalai Lama

Over a third (34%) of parents are worried about heavy traffic on the journey to school. This International Walk to School Month, we're calling for safer streets so that more children can enjoy the benefits of walking, wheeling and scooting to school. www.livingstreets.org.uk/iwtsm
A mum walking hand-in-hand with a young child in a red school jumper along a residential pavement lined with parked cars. An orange banner at the bottom of the image reads: “34% of parents are worried about heavy traffic on the journey to school”. Living Streets branding appears in the top left corner. Small text at the bottom cites YouGov survey data about parents' concerns regarding traffic on school journeys.

I am not very worried about about the Tory Tapestry’s misuse of “doth”. What worries me much more is this sequence of panels which seems to show a small boat full of brown-skinned people followed by a plague of rats running riot and then a lot of dead white people labelled tax payers.
Detail from Conservative Party mock Bayeux Tapestry showing 1. A boat full of brown skinned people. 2. Enormous rats chasing cats. 3. White-skinned “tax payers” dead in the streets.

Rachel Johnson who was interviewing her didn't push back at all and even seemed to be agreeing with her. Here's a fuller account from the police. Absolutely scandalous that an MP is not condemning this act of terrorism
Detective Chief Superintendent James
Derham, who leads local policing in the
Bexley area, said: "It was miraculous
that nobody was killed or seriously
injured in the large explosion caused
by Rees


"He showed a complete disregard for
the welfare and safety of the people
who live in, or were travelling through,
the area at the time of the explosion -
all because he was unhappy with the
ULEZ scheme


"CCTV from a bus travelling down the
road at the time shows how it narrowly
missed the blast of debris by seconds

The Times - which has v much joined in the rightwing clamour to reduce immigration - now reporting that Mahmood’s “success” has cost the economy £4- to £7Bn. Would they like to now honestly confirm that fewer people = less spending power for all. There’s a high price to pay for this nasty obsession.
Patrick Maguire
Chief Political Commentator Oliver Wright Policy Editor

Falling migration numbers could cost the chancellor as much as £7bn in fiscal headroom as he writes his first budget, The Times has been told.
Government insiders believe that John Healey, who already faced an uphill battle to balance the books next month, is likely to have an even bigger challenge after immigration undershot projections from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).
The Institute for Fiscal Studies think tank estimated last month that the success of Shabana
Mahmood's
reforms, which have cut net migration to the low hundreds of thousands, could cost Healey some £4bn.
