TIL that there is a Museum of Failure and it kind of warms my heart. We know we learn from our failures, but they're not usually something we put on display for others to see. museumoffailure.com

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 farmer rescues 'gay sheep' and sells their wool to support LGBTQ+ charities

At this LGBTQ+ haven in Germany, you can adopt a 'gay sheep.' Seriously.
All proceeds support Germany’s largest queer rights organization.

DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION:

My reporter Brett Murphy obtained a remarkable directive to folks at USAID: Empty the safes with the classified and personnel records and then,

"Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break."

This would be a *good fucking start* for what the Democrats could actually do.
If any Democrat congressmen or senators want some inspiration for the Sate of the Union tonight, the Serbian opposition party just set off flairs & emptied fire extinguishers in their parliament building...

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Oh my Lord. Wait til you hear this. #BishopBudde is more of a hero than I ever knew. It is because of her than Matthew Shepard finally has a peaceful resting place, free from vandalism … his grave is in the National Cathedral! She did this in *2018* 🙏🏻 My love.

It’s 7° F outside with a windchill of -13° and somebody is outside making noise with their chainsaw… I’m not sure why, but this is really annoying to me!

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

As my piano teacher used to say, “this should keep [me] out of trouble for awhile!”

And it might: I can choose between dpns and circs and more circs

A little latest knit project update for you…
This is going to be an EPS Raglan(ish). It’s made from Icelandic einband and I’m using a size 6 needle. I hope it’s nice and lightweight, but still warm ☺️🧶🐑
