They were going to pass rules to phase out gas stoves, until they received 20,000 public comments against the regulations. Except, oops, it turns out the comments were generated by AI.

A must-read that has made me more appreciative of Bluesky. There all alternatives to enshittified platforms.

The E.U.’s Burgeoning Repair Movement Is Set to Get a Boost Europe’s new Right to Repair Directive will make it easier — and cheaper — for consumers to get their household goods fixed, rather than buy something new. Part of the E.U.’s Green Deal, the plan is expected to slash waste, promote recycling, and cut greenhouse gas emissions. 

Some manufacturers have made it deliberately hard to repair household goods, pushing consumers to buy new products rather than fix old ones.

A new E.U. directive will require companies to provide affordable repairs, helping to slash waste and emissions.

Seized Art, Eavesdropping Guards: Parents Describe a Clampdown at Dilley Detention Center as Kids Shared Their Stories Detainees told ProPublica that art supplies have been removed in room searches, immigrants have lost access to Gmail and staff hover within earshot during video calls.

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

So good!

Let's protect Round-Up Weedkiller

Trump has issued an executive order invoking the Defense Production Act of 1950, a law that allows a president to direct and prioritize industrial production in the name of national defense - in this case, in order to boost domestic production of glyphosate 😱

‘They pushed so many lies about recycling’: the fight to stop big oil pumping billions more into plastics Plastic production has doubled over the last 20 years – and will likely double again. For author Beth Gardiner, metal water bottles and canvas tote bags are not the solution. So what is?

Petrochemicals for plastic are “expected to be the largest single driver of oil demand in the decades to come.”

Thank you to everyone who attended my workshop last night, Sock Darning as a Small Act of Resistance. Before bed last night, I finished a spot on a beloved but holey cashmere sweater that I started working on during the workshop.

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

President Trump threatens to block Gordie Howe International Bridge from opening The Republican president aired trade-related grievances on Monday in his threat to block the Canadians from opening a new bridge to Detroit.
