A Journalist Reported From Palestine. YouTube Deleted His Account Claiming Heโ€™s an Iranian Agent. YouTube offered conflicting explanations for deleting the account of Robert Inlakesh, who covered Israelโ€™s occupation of the West Bank.

The dangers of consolidation. Google/ Alphabet is staunchly pro-genocide. Much more of this seems likely as things deteriorate.

How a species of bamboo could help protect the South from future floods In the face of mounting climate disasters, tribes, scientists, and Southern communities are rallying around a nearly forgotten native plant.

US plans to ask visitors to share 5 years of social media history to enter Tourists from 42 countries may soon need to also disclose email accounts, extensive family history and biometrics.

A dying empire can't scream more loudly about its own weakness and insecurity much more loudly than this.

Terrible article, journalist just absolutely eating up the DARVO framing.

Meanwhile, outlets like Vox are being paid by OpenAI and it shows, in that all AI coverage there is just marketing and rhetoric for these scammy theft products.

Georgia hashes out plan to let data centers build their own cleanโ€ฆ The long-sought program could ease cost and climate risks โ€” especially if it lets renewable energy secured by tech giants avert a big buildout of gasโ€ฆ

Georgia Power and state utility regulators are circling in on a plan to get data centers online faster, without the need for massive new gas plants.

Because it's totally true, I like to say that the opposite of consent is tech company.

With the persistence of a bratty child and the ethos of a rapist, Google is basically an addict, trying to prolong its high from the "AI" bubble that it created by endlessly forcing bullshit down our throats.

๐ŸšจIsrael bombed a residential building in Beirutโ€™s southern suburbs on Sunday, killing at least 5 people and injuring 28, Lebanonโ€™s health ministry says. 

The strike hit the Haret Hreik area despite a year-old ceasefire. Netanyahuโ€™s office claimed the target was Hezbollah chief of staff Haytham Ali Tabatabai; Hezbollah has not confirmed his fate. Lebanese leaders urged international intervention, calling the attack part of escalating Israeli pressure, as strikes continue across Lebanon, including deadly strikes on a Palestinian refugee camp this week.

Judge Rules Flock Surveillance Images Are Public Records That Can Be Requested By Anyone A Washington judge said images taken by Flock cameras are "not exempt from disclosure" in public record requests.

New: A judge in Washington has ruled images from Flock surveillance cameras are public records and that anyone can request them. Highlights the pervasiveness of this tech and just how much surveillance is being done. Very notable ruling

The coordinated nature of thisโ€”none are facing voters in 2026โ€”means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

They couldnโ€™t let us bask in the joy of victory for even 1 week.

All they gave us was 5 days. Couldnโ€™t even get us to a week of being hopeful. All that goodwill and joy and happiness that maybe the Democratic Party really can do something right, all of it tossed in the trash pile. Sighโ€ฆ

The pay-to-win legal system is doing wonders for the fascists.

The spectre of lawsuits is raising costs for publications, and I'm guessing this factored in heavily, in regards to who got laid off here.

This originally ran in @wired.com , which is and has long been basically just marketing for tech firms.

I unsubscribed from them like 6 years back because they couldn't stop making out with Bill Gates' asshole.

Google Earth gets an AI chatbot to help chart the climate crisis New AI features in Google Earth let users ask chatbot-style questions to find changes in the climate. The system could eventually predict disasters and identify the communities likely to be affected.

A classic case of causing the problem (shoving energy intensive bullshit machines known as "AI down peoples throats) while pretending to help address the problem.

The scale of causing the issue outweighs the pretend solution.
