Louisiana bets big on ‘blue ammonia.’ Communities along Cancer Alley brace for the cost. Carbon capture hasn’t delivered major climate benefits — and the plants would still emit thousands of tons of pollution.

Along Louisiana’s Cancer Alley, residents say new ammonia and fertilizer projects could add pollution to communities already facing some of the highest industrial health risks in the U.S.

'AI Is African Intelligence': The Workers Who Train AI Are Fighting Back Kenyan workers are still the underpaid labor behind AI training, moderation, and sex chatbots. The Data Labelers Association is fighting back.

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

ICE Tried To Turn This Minneapolis Teacher Into An Informant Brandon Siguenza was detained for doing legal-observer work. ICE's real interest was in generating snitches. PLUS: Mojtaba Khamanei isn't surrendering

"He was vaguely saying things like, 'Really, I can help you out. I can do things for you. ...If you could, you know, give me the names of protest organizers, maybe I can help you out.'" Inside an ICE effort to generate snitches.

This was *the* case pro-Israel defenders would point at to say "See? Israel takes human rights violations seriously!"

And after all that — including mobs of Israeli rioters and politicians storming a military base to protest the arrest of these soldiers — it's being dropped.

From Flock to ICE, Here’s a Breakdown of How You’re Being Watched To better understand what exactly we’re looking at in this dystopian surveillance hellscape, 404 Media’s Jason Koebler and Joseph Cox joined Reddit's r/technology for an Ask Me Anything session.

From Flock's nationwide surveillance to ICE tools, we are being watched. Is there anyway to go back now?

"Police love telling each other about the new capabilities and tools that they've acquired, so this tech can spread from city to city very quickly."

U.S. May Have Committed War Crime In Sinking Of Iranian Ship The Geneva Conventions say nations have a duty to “take all possible measures” to help rescue victims of shipwrecks. A U.S. submarine left that to Sri Lanka.

“The 312-foot Dena and its 130-member crew, many of them musicians in the Iranian navy band, had just finished participating in an Indian government naval exercise and cultural exchange that the U.S. Navy had also participated in and were on the way home on Wednesday.”

This story is wild. As far as I can tell from the body camera clips I watched, the footage shows MPD special operations strategizing their forcible entry into private property without a warrant, based on the say-so of a political appointee with nothing more than a stack of print outs.

“When the delusion-fueled plan [to find Gemini a body] crumbled, Gemini convinced him that the only way they could be together was for him to end his earthly life and start a digital one, the suit claims.”
