Garbage headline from the BBC - this AI data centre is actually planned in greenfield land just next to the old nuclear site, in Scotland. And it’s a 1000MW capacity- bigger than any in the world right now. This is the area where I live - excuse me while I lodge my planning objection. 😡🤬

Giant data centre plans lodged at old Chapelcross nuclear site

Developers say it could create more than 500 full-time jobs on the Chapelcross site near Annan.

Gutted by the news of Pac's passing. He was one of Caitlin's favorite wrestlers. She giggled every time when he was announced as The Bastard. She saw him live many times. My thoughts are with his friends and family.

In tears at this, heartfelt sadness. Hearing that Pac passed away was such sad news to wake up to. An amazing wrestler who I had the joy to see at an AEW show and, by all accounts, an amazing person. #AEW #wrestlesky

Help! Parton Community Council has 60 days to raise £70k to buy Parton Kirk (resting place of James Clerk Maxwell). They plan to turn it into a visitor centre celebrating our great hero! The other buyers could turn it into long-term storage 😬 Even £5 would help 🙏🧪⚛️ www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

…while the unflinching truth in “The Persecution of Witches”, and II, packs (as a victim of sa) an emotional punch of memories but also of feeling *seen*. Just a few amongst many wonderful poems! Also, @michaeldthomas.bsky.social was very touched to be in the acknowledgements. 💖

An emotionally intense and unapologetically fierce collection from @alwayscoffee.bsky.social - I thoroughly enjoyed this, one that will be reread frequently! “Right Before The Tower Falls, When All I know Is Grief” is a beautiful and heart wrenching poem, one of my favourites in the collection…

Ali Trotta’s poetry book “Offerings for Ordinary Gods” sitting on a wooden bookshelf next to a faux flower decorative thing on my shelf which wonderfully matches the book’s black and red colours in the cover.

Also just finished “Light From Uncommon Stars” by @rykaaoki.bsky.social and I loved it! Original, heart wrenching, hopeful. Just the right balance of gritty real and fantastical unreal.

My hand balancing the book “Light from Uncommon Stars” by Ryle Aoki on it.

I saw the news that @chicagotardis.bsky.social staff member/cosplayer/awesome person Carole Brown passed away after a short illness. She was the 1st producer of the SF Squeecast. Carole was always kind and sweet, especially with Caitlin. Way too young. She will be greatly missed.

The sewer repair person is here to take a look through the now-unclogged main drain and tell me what our options are on repairing this broken sewer line. Step one is finding out exactly how broken it is. But what we know so far already puts us in five-figure territory. Have I mentioned my sale?
