Our Bill to allow councils to introduce rent controls across Scotland was passed last year.

But rent controls are only going to help people if councils are implementing them.

Homes are for living in, not for profiteering. It's time to put a halt to the eye-watering rent hikes.

Too pretty not to share.

A hacker built a tool to track police officers. Then he tried to warn them

A security flaw means the location of devices used by police, potentially including undercover officers and those travelling home, is visible to anyone with a phone or laptop.

"Two German tourists went on holiday to Hawaii for 3 weeks.

But they never left the airport. They were arrested, interrogated for 7.5 hours, accused of intending to work illegally with zero proof.

They were held in prison for 3 days then deported.

I've been working on this #documentary about one of my mentors, David MacDonald since 2022. He was a professor at Syracuse University for over forty years and is a beloved figure in the #ceramics world. This project has been an immense undertaking. My hope is to finish shooting by spring 2027 and to complete post-production by 2028.

At this point, I think we could benefit from the addition of a producer. Suggestions and boosts welcome.

I just talked a while with an elderly man who was biking around and collecting these, he told me he earned a few hundred euros a month extra this way since he’s with pension and has plenty of time and wants to keep things clean

Love those creative solution!

A massive drought coupled with political mismanagement might fully deplete water in a major city: neither in West Asia nor Africa, but in the United States.
