❗ "Massey is the 13th councillor in Scotland, out of a total of 1,226, to have defected to Reform"
- I can't help wondering if Farage, who has access to large sums of right-wing American money, is PAYING those councillors to defect, literally BUYING THEM.

Could these recycled bricks help build a low-carbon future? | Reuters
A building brick made almost entirely from recycled rubble could help solve one of the construction industry’s biggest environmental challenges — managing its significant waste.   Unlike traditional clay bricks, the K-BRIQ, made by Kenoteq in Edinburgh, Scotland, produces 95% fewer carbon emissions.   #brick #construction #rubble #environment #climatechange #building

I'm reading The Lost Princess by #GeorgeMacDonald and in one paragraph he starts off by saying that there is a fire made of fir-wood and by the end of the paragraph refers to it as a peat fire.
#ChatGPT informs me that fir-wood is fast burning and was often used in #Scotland to get a fire started while peat was long-burning and thus would be added to the fire thereafter.
It seems logical, but ChatGPT has also struggled to provide me with clear references to this information.
Curious if anyone is familiar with whether this was/is so? I'd like something to depend upon beyond the words of generative AI. 😂

You won’t hear this on the news but Scotland and other countries have declared their economy will be based on wellbeing, not GDP.
And They’re not alone.
Countries worldwide are making the same shift.
But here’s the thing: people aren’t waiting for governments.
EThey’re building wellbeing economies themselves through cooperatives, people’s assemblies, and businesses that put purpose over profit.
