Front Row tonight. I'm talking to Kirsty Wark about my fantastic, unreliable subject, Christopher Murray Grieve (aka Hugh MacDiarmid), with my wonderful, reliable narrator Deirdre Grieve (MacDiarmid's daughter-in-law, aged 90, his closest observer).

This was, among other things, a massive defeat for AI data centres
"Three states at the centre of the AI build-out - Texas, Georgia and Ohio - elected Democratic candidates who have pledged to crack down on building data centres."
"26 gubernatorial candidates across 21 states backed some form of moratorium on data centre development."

A different economics is possible. A message here for public service reform in Scotland. As Christie set out, we need to focus on outcomes, including community wealth building in real communities of place.

So, let me get this straight. Not only did Glasgow save the Commonwealth Games from oblivion, it made a tidy profit for the City and Scotland in doing so.
That sounds like a result worth celebrating

A real gift to the city and development done well 👏

Russia was never in any danger of being invaded. All of those russian soldiers aren't dying to protect their country, they're dying for their country's right to invade and control other countries. They're dying for nothing.
