If you like not dying of thirst, it’s time to get organised.
There’s proposed data AI centres all over Scotland. Water is an essential necessity for all human life and the natural resources these things burn through is ridiculous. Reject these monstrosities!

Gary Stevenson, This was the country that introduced the proportional income, the, the progressive income tax"
"Didn't exist. We did it here in this country, and look at what we did. Look at what we achieved"
"Listen, my grandmother was born here in this city in the 1920s, in the richest city, in the richest country in the history of the world, and three of her siblings died of tuberculosis"
"That is what happens when you don't deal with your inequality"
"Surrounded by desperate poverty. And in the course of her lifetime, just one lifetime, we moved from that kind of country where ordinary hardworking people see their kids die of poverty"
"To the world that my dad grew up in, where he worked for the post office for thirty-five years, bought a house, had a pension, had a retirement, had three kids, financial security, good quality education, good quality healthcare, good quality housing"
"We did that in the course of one woman's lifetime with no historical precedent of it ever happening before"
"So don't tell me it's impossible"
Unfortunately, the current level of supplies for our air defense does not allow us to intercept a significant share of missiles. Last night, there were hits. 130 people were injured. Tragically, 22 people were killed, including two children. My condolences to all those who have lost their loved ones.
We know from intelligence that another large-scale strike may come as soon as tonight. All our partners together, and everyone in Europe, should continue working to ensure missiles for our air defense, as well as the systems, critical intelligence, and other things that help to save lives.
It is crystal clear that Europe needs its own anti-ballistic system with sufficient volumes and strength to guarantee protection against any threat.
The bulb in the overhead projector has blown.
The Banda copier is out of ink.
The big TV is playing up.
The Coomber has gone off to be repaired.
And now it's time for us to go too.
Thank you for your company. It's meant more than you'll ever know.
God bless you all.

How We Used To Live:
The Staff Room
In the old days, there was time each day for a nice cup of tea and a sit down. At morning break, teachers would enjoy a Kit Kat or maybe even a cigarette.
Voltaire passed away today in 1778.
There are two quotes of his I always come back to:
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
and
“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
COVID vaccines prevent serious illness and death due to COVID-19 for both children and adults, prevents hospitalizations, is less risky compared to getting sick with the virus, and reduces the long-term risk for cardiovascular complications after COVID-19 https://t.co/IuBdR1rC3e
"The UN was able to verify 31 cases of rape and sexual violence primarily in detention settings, but also at checkpoints and during military operations against 14 men, seven women, nine boys, and one girl from the Gaza Strip and the WestBank.
This is part of a pattern of sexual violence against Palestinians, including as a form of torture.
Violations consisted of rape, including rape with objects, gang rape, attempted rape, physical violence to the genitals, instances of targeted shooting of the genitals, touching of breast and genitals, strip and cavity searches conducted without apparent security justification, forced nudity, and threats of rape. Rape and gang rape were perpetrated against nine of these victims, with four suffering repeated rape on multiple occasions.
Explicit threats were made by Israeli armed and security forced warning detainees not to report abuse to media or human rights organizations."
