Redwood Materials has laid off around 135 employees, or roughly 10% of its workforce, as it restructures to better accommodate its growing energy storage business, TechCrunch has learned. The cuts come just five months after Redwood cut 5% of its workforce, and three months after it closed a $425 million funding round that boosted the battery-recycling company’s valuation to north of $6 billion, as TechCrunch previously reported.

In some cities, parents are signing petitions to demand a two-year moratorium on AI in schools.  Some of the pushback is shaping policy. In New York and California, new rules have put safeguards on AI companionship bots. Meanwhile, artists are winning small battles to protect copyright laws. In March, the UK government backtracked on plans to let AI companies train AI models on copyrighted content without permission after fierce blowback from artists. But some of the sharpest resistance is coming from…

“Bring your own booze” (BYOB) has long been associated with parties and barbecues, but it’s something that’s starting to damage the pub sector.With many pub businesses across the UK already struggling with tight profit margins and increasing costs, what may seem like a harmless cost-saving habit for consumers is now becoming a growing concern for operations trying to protect revenue and maintain control over their premises.As a result, some operators are warning that the trend could be quietly eroding one of the sector’s most important revenue streams, while also creating new problems around safety, licensing compliance, and everyday management.

The ‘fountain’ of water spraying was first spotted just before 9am on Tuesday by a passerby at Buchanan Bus Station, who saw water gushing from Cowcaddens Road behind the stands. Photos taken by the Glasgow Times show a column of water erupting high above the road surface, with temporary barriers, fencing and Avenues roadworks in the foreground, as passing pedestrians stop to watch. A burst water main has sent huge jets of water shooting into the air on a busy Glasgow city‑centre street, leaving around 200 properties without supply.
