The proposals at Chapelcross will make it the largest data centre in the world. At its peak, it could be consuming the same amount of electricity as more than 2 million homes. Chapelcross cannot be built. The Government and Dumfries & Galloway Council must reject it. @scottishgreens.org

For a while there was total and deafening confusion and then, almost as quickly as they'd come, all the old sounds disappeared over the hill in search of their new freedom, and things were normal again. The people quickly went about their busy talkative business.

To be tulled - a Hookland dialect phrase meaning to be caught between two worlds and at home in neither of them. Hookland is for the tulled.

You know, when you find out that the art you like is made by people you've learned hold views you find wholly repugnant, I don't think you need to disavow ever having enjoyed the art. It's okay to acknowledge you liked or loved that art, but are now putting it aside. That was then, this is now.

Frankly as a classical liberal I don’t think any of this should be part of normal political discourse, but if they’re demanding it, fine: Even though it shouldn’t matter, right-wing US Evangelicalism is an unlettered perversion that ineptly projects bigotry into scripture where it doesn’t exist.

Today’s poem is called ‘Morrissey’s Fridge’.

Morrissey’s Fridge

Morrissey
was filled
with sudden
self-doubt,

as he shut
his fridge door –
did the light
never go out?

Charles Sheeler : Pertaining to Yachts and Yachting, 1922 Oil on canvas 20 × 24-1/16 in | 51.3 x 61.1 cm The Philadelphia Museum of Art houses the finished oil painting. The Whitney Museum of American Art holds a preliminary wax crayon and graphite pencil study.

The work fragments sails, water, and hulls into overlapping, geometric planes, capturing the dynamic energy of modernism and industrial rhythm.

80 year-olds with pro-Palestine signs: arrested as terrorists. Greens planning to block a road, to highlight an existential crisis: sent down for years. Masked far-right thugs blocking roads and ports, using intimidation, obstruction & threatening behaviour: no arrests. The real two-tier policing.

People might be coming to the realisation they have been conned by streaming services and now are moving towards owning their music rather than just renting it. I have a large vinyl and CD collection, all from the time before we rented music.

Just so we are clear: The 83yo priest on the left is a terrorist. The balaclava-clad men on the right are protestors with legitimate concerns

The "future" is never a sleek Apple keynote; it’s always just a series of desperate patches applied to outdated hardware by a guy named Gary who knows a shortcut in the kernel. High tech, low life, mid-tier firmware.

Anyone spending thirty thousand pounds on a guitar is an idiot. The acoustic I've used the most over the last fifteen years was found in a dustbin. My other one was a tenner in a charity shop. Nobody's ever said "your guitars sound crap". I mean they've hated my songs, but that's different.
