Where's Scotland in Rachel Reeves' growth plans? Is "sustainable" aviation fuel just greenwashing? Trump's tariff wars. Game changer or sound and fury signifying nothing? Will Labour split over Rosebank & Jackdaw? These are the headlines. Listen to podcast

Cloud services need coolant to function, threaten national water supplies, stress extreme content monitors & exploit mine workers. AI needs multi-millions of watts to emulate a PhD student using 20 watts. Let's rethink energy needs. Great by @thoughtland.

Iceland is sub-Arctic. Scotland isn't. Yet energy there costs less than a quarter of bills here. And that's not just cos of geothermal power - it's how that power is owned. Third wee film in Resilient Iceland series now online.

School kids build confidence at Arran Outdoor Education Centre, which faces closure by N Ayrshire Council for second time in as many years. A Bill for mandatory outdoor education might save the day & stop Scotland having the most indoors kids in N Europe.

Can we agree narrowing the attainment gap & empowering youngsters needs LESS pressure & MORE time gaining confidence and life skills off the curriculum, in nature & away from home? If so, it's time to back Tory MSP Liz Smith's Outdoor Education Bill.

Excellent interview with Humza Yousaf on #ScotCast. Controlled, eloquent fury about Trump’s occupation idea.

Pretty depressed to hear no panellist express disgust at Trump's proposed ethnic cleansing of Gaza tonight. Glad a young audience member did just that.

Great to see this speedy condemnation of Trump's appalling Gaza Riviera plan. But the dilemma for John Swinney remains. Will he welcome the 'unacceptable and dangerous' Trump to Scotland?

After months of collective punishment and the death of over 40,000 in Gaza, any suggestion Palestinians should be removed from their home is unacceptable and dangerous. There must be no ethnic cleansing. Only a proper two state solution will bring lasting peace.

@EstefanoWorth Yip, that really is the way to gauge the success of a society. Tx to the climate every ingredient in beer has to be imported & govt whacks on tax to fund the welfare state. So yes, it's expensive.
