Anyone know what this is? Popped up in our meadow after the rain. Usually, we see amanitas. It's a big one, the size of my outstretched hand.

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Ten Ways to Presume Competence in Nonspeaking Kids and Adults | I-ASC As a Registered S2C Practitioner, presuming competence is the heart and soul of what I do every day. But it wasn’t that long ago that the term was unfamiliar.

Presuming competence in our community members with communication disabilities includes having the patience to not speak for or over someone who needs time and effort to communicate. More examples:

I need these food companies to market vegetables to my kids, not more bars and fruit snacks and cookies. Like, bring out the Paw Patrol Pup Salad and the Transformers Veggie Patties.

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary.

It can't get a distributor in the US.

Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.

Musk’s status as a β€œspecial government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working dailyβ€”documented by his own X postsβ€”they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congressβ€”please share.

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

Thought we were attempting to reduce the federal deficit? Instead, Trump’s proposed budget plan is projected to significantly increase it.

Trump's Medicaid cuts would leave millions without health care The human cost will be brutalβ€”unless a few Republicans develop spines.

Medicaid Cuts Would Leave Millions of Americans Without Health Care. Yet "Musk and Republican House Speaker Johnson have been among many Medicaid opponents loudly promoting false, stereotyped accounts of widespread waste & fraud among its low-income recipients."

Tesla Is More Vulnerable Than You Think How to cost Elon Musk $100 billion.

The largest part of Elon Musk's wealth is Tesla, a company with an insanely inflated stock price that is wholly dependent on positive consumer sentiment. Tarnishing Tesla's brand could plausibly cost Musk $100 billion.

Jane Fonda Says β€˜Woke Just Means You Give a Damn About Other People,’ Calls on Hollywood to Fight With Empathy in SAG Awards Speech Jane Fonda was honored on Sunday night with SAG's life achievement award.

I understand and appreciate the sentiment I do but thats not what it means either. The idea of being aware of systemic racism being made a byword by the right only to be sanitized as general good heartedness demonstrates how concepts are drained of vigor.
