A data center was just shut down in Wisconsin after the town council refused to have private talks with the developer and told them everything would include public approval That’s how it’s done, folks

International students who have studied in Ireland have said they were sold “fake dreams” and "aggressively pushed” into coming here while at an Irish government education roadshow in India. jrnl.ie/7088907

‘They aggressively pushed Ireland’: Are students sold ‘fake dreams’ in five-star hotels in India?
The government run free education events in five-star hotels in major Indian cities, but international students say the reality of studying in Ireland doesn’t match up to what was advertised.

No more data centres! Serious investigations need to happen by Uisce Éireann into water usage in data centres. Nobody knows or even seems to want to know how much water is being used by these energy-guzzling data centres. #BanDataCentres #HosepipeBan

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.
I will dispose of the first myth as quickly as possible. The “secret” is skill. If you haven’t learned how to do something, the people who have may seem to be magicians, possessors of mysterious secrets. In a fairly simple art, such as making pie crust, there are certain teachable “secrets” of method that lead almost infallibly to good results; but in any complex art, such as housekeeping, piano-playing, clothes-making, or story-writing, there are so many techniques, skills, choices of method, so many variables, so many “secrets,” some teachable and some not, that you can learn them only by methodical, repeated, long-continued practice — in other words, by work.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

I'm back working on this string quilt that I started over a year ago. I'm not wild about it, but I want to finish it and see what it's like.

“It's amazing how pollution has dropped in #Paris in 15 years. @annehidalgo.bsky.social has filled the city with bike-lanes & not only has she reduced pollution by 40% but she’s also been re-elected.” Trading car space for green space, bike space, kid space…trading pollution for people. Good trade.

I’m sure your local Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael or Green Party TD’s are lovely people. But lovely people don’t collude in a vote to bury the State’s responsibility for what happened in Mother and Baby Homes. Don’t forget that when you vote today.

I love this thread - this is exactly it! Also - making and creating and being crafty DOES NOT HAVE TO BE FOR MONEY.

My kids insisted on getting my husband to make a card for our dog for his birthday (gotcha day). They then brought it to school and got all the kids in school to sign it. Kids are mad.

I also just finished watching Disclaimer on Apple TV+ and thought it was excellent. It's slow paced but captivating. Cate Blanchett and Kevin Klein were magnificent.

I haven't read novels much in the last 10 years since my kids came along. I got back into reading and listening to books in September and have gone through 11 since then. My most recent finish was 'Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine' by Gail Honeyman. I loved it.
