Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

This "US" plan for Ukraine includes "security guarantees" in case Russia attacks Ukraine again. I don't think the Ukraine government should take this to heart after the US in the past provided similar guarantees in lieu of Ukraine giving up their nuclear weapons. That didn't work out well. #Ukraine

Great writeup from Dan Rather and his team about our bully president. Worth the read. The press is an important pillar of a functioning democracy, something we have lost. There are standouts, but it is getting harder and harder to have a press working to provide transparency to our wheels of change.

To the people of Ukraine and Europe - so sorry the US is pushing such a ridiculous set of terms that favor Russia. Obviously, Trump's handler (Putin) gave some commands. The best thing now is for Ukraine to work in tandem with Europe to end this war. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...
U.S. pushing Ukraine to sign peace deal by Thanksgiving or lose support
The U.S. is sending “signals” that everything could be off the table if Kyiv does not quickly sign a proposal, which was drawn up by special envoy Witkoff.

Honestly, super sad to hear about Robert Redford's passing today at the age of 89. Brilliant actor fighting for great causes. His movie influenced me and set me off in a direction - it was his movie, All the President's Men. Seen 100+ times leading me to get a degree in journalism and writing. RIP.
