For last 24 hours I’ve seen footage of horrific scenes from Gaza, just absolute human misery. Yet..it’s not there on any news outlet’s home pages, not discussed on our witless political shows. We’re just going to ignore it? Is that the plan?

TRISTE POR DEMAS 😢💔 NO POR MUCHO MADRUGAR SE AMANECE MAS TEMPRANO ¡LAS CONSECUENCIAS DE LA TERQUEDAD HUMANA TERMINA EN LÍMITES EXTREMOS QUE TE PUEDEN COSTAR LA VIDA! El trágico avionazo del Learjet 60 en Florida que extinguió a nueve personas, dejó de ser solo un tema de "mal clima" para convertirse en un posible caso de terquedad humana. Justin Crabbe, experto en aviación y en Learjets, desmenuzó los minutos finales del vuelo y apuntó directamente al error fatal de la tripulación: en lugar de sacarle la vuelta a la tormenta, LOS PILOTOS SE METIERON DE LLENO CON TAL DE LLEGAR RÁPIDO A LAS BAHAMAS. Según Crabbe, los controladores aéreos ya les habían dado luz verde para desviarse y evitar el temporal, pero el piloto Jeff Gregory, de 55 años, y la joven copiloto Nathalia Filgueiras, de 20, sufrieron un episodio de lo que en la aviación llaman "get-there-itis" (fiebre por llegar). Esta condición psicológica ocurre cuando la obsesión por aterrizar en destino nubla el juicio y te hace ignorar las señales de peligro. Cuando Nathalia advirtió a la torre que el avión se estaba congelando, la tripulación tomó la peor decisión posible: en lugar de bajar o desviarse, intentaron trepar por encima del temporal subiendo a 37,000 pies. El hielo es el peor enemigo de un avión, pues altera la aerodinámica de las alas y destruye la sustentación. Crabbe asegura que al intentar subir de golpe con las alas congeladas, ahogaron los motores y mandaron el jet directo a una pérdida de sustentación irreversible. Quedaron atrapados en una trampa donde cualquier movimiento los condenaba. Al final, la necedad de ahorrar unos minutos de vuelo hacia el Caribe terminó en un dantesco clavado de 7,700 metros en 62 segundos, desintegrando a la tripulación, al empresario texano Adam Robinson, a su familia, a sus amigos y a la niñera. Bien dicen que: "Más vale tarde que nunca".

Have a listen... We could do with some of that here... Take note @JohnSwinney and at the very least place a moritorium on AI Data Centres...
“Tech billionaires… are not your constituents.” Community organiser Katie Dapkus went viral last month after telling Kentucky city councillors that “the people could not be clearer” about rejecting data centres, unregulated AI, and surveillance technology. Voters in at least 38 jurisdictions passed bans or restrictions on data centres in the US midterms elections.

SNP is the only political party in Scotland not to have the support of a newspaper. Labour has The Daily Record/Sunday Mail/Herald/Guardian etc. Tories have The Scotsman/The Times/Telegraph etc. Reform UK shares The Herald with Labour. Even the Scottish Greens have The National

The high value jobs utilising the power of the data centres can be hundreds or thousands of miles away. You can be sure they won't be in Scotland. Just as we are exploited to send electricity and hydrocarbons to London and get nothing for them but a handful of jobs in production.
New documents released by the Scottish government under a freedom of information request show that data centres could cause water shortages, higher energy bills and power cuts. Sky's @emmabirchley explains. trib.al/ViooyB0 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233

Stuff you'll never see reported by BBC Scotland news or STV news. It'll be actively suppressed.

Today, @thenerve_news publishes a landmark years-long investigation into what may be the biggest online influence campaign ever. There is credible evidence Israel interfered in UK elections using Kate Middleton to spread anti-Muslim hate. 1/
EXCLUSIVE Ads warning of a ‘Muslim invasion of Europe’ reached British screens before the 2024 elections and the Southport riots, and kept coming for 2 more years. Meta and Google took the money, and the trail leads back to Israel, writes disinformation expert @marcowenjones🧵

The Gaelic poet and bard, Màiri Mhór nan Òran (aka Mary Macpherson) died on this day in 1898. She is best known for her work on Highland politics, particularly the land struggles in Skye and other islands. Listen to one of her songs here - ambaile.org.uk/asset/40979/
