Documents released by the Scottish Government show Data Centres could cause water shortages, higher energy bills and power cuts. Nobody wants AI get them out.

Genuine paradox... Why do those who oppose a wealth tax defend billionaires moving abroad to avoid paying their fair share, yet condemn migrants moving abroad simply to provide a better life for their families? One moves to protect extreme wealth. The other moves in search of basic opportunity. Why is one celebrated as economic freedom, while the other is condemned as a burden on society?

A single gas leak in Pennsylvania vented more than 1.4B cubic ft of methane into the atmosphere. That’s as much climate pollution as 261 coal plants! There’s nothing “clean” about “#naturalgas" We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #climate #renewables

Elon Musk did not found Tesla, nor did he invent the car. Tesla was founded and built originally by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. Elon Musk isn't why SpaceX is successful, either. The real genius behind the rocket is Tom Mueller, who designed the rocket. Elon Musk is not a genius. He has invented nothing. He just buys the companies and steals all the credit.

When did we get to the point where Palestinians are living in tents that are being flooded and Israel are still bombing them? Where is the world's condemnation? Where?

This is so strong and clear. You can't help but notice that if this was in the UK context - you wouldn't be able to get a single one of these sentences out without a journalist barracking the person saying it constantly. The UK media is in quite a state.
I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points. (clip via @DropSiteNews)

Not your fault, sane America… And the midterms proved you're still there But a country that elected this absolute freak twice can't expect the rest of us to trust it for a long long time.

Back in June 2025, I was one of the sponsors of @jeremycorbyn’s Bill for an Inquiry into the UK’s role in Israel’s war on Gaza. This petition, if it reaches 100,000 signatures, can lead to a debate in Parliament on the need for such an Inquiry. petition.parliament.uk/petit…

Of course he did. Palantir hired Tom Watson to schmooze his old pals. And he did. There is no world in which Palantir helps boost "the UK's tech sovereignty". We need to know exactly how @YvetteCooperMP made this decision, based on what evidence & what data?
Palantir’s Tom Watson, ex-Labour MP, wrote to Yvette Cooper last month saying the controversial US company could help boost the UK’s tech sovereignty, letters show. Weeks later, sources say the UK is extending its NHS contract for two more years bit.ly/4zrbMYF

C-A-P-I-T-A-L-I-S-M All the money for the bosses, who do no work. No money for the workers, who do all the work.

When the government first published Palantir’s contract, 417 out of its 586 pages were entirely blacked out. We took legal action and forced them to reveal crucial details about protecting personal data. Now, ministers are at it again. We were in court this week: goodlaw.social/wfnc
