Agreed!

After all our years of fighting Nestlé, we're turning around and doing this.

Who is minding the water data centres will use? Around the world, scientists and environmentalists are sounding the alarm on the data centre industry.

‘Silent epidemic of chemical pollution’ demands radical regulatory redo, say scientists An international team of scientists has issued a stark warning that current toxicology and chemical regulatory regimes are failing to protect public health and the environment from a host of toxins…

A team of 43 scientists says pesticide and plastic regulation needs a major overhaul. Full commercial formulations—often containing petrochemical waste and heavy metals—can be far more toxic than the tested active ingredients.

They call for stricter limits, full-formulation testing, & public data.

they arrived that morning
roses of course red ones
perfectly formed and unapologetic

A winter scene: the primary focus is a raised garden bed capped deeply in snow. There are stems and leaves of dried plants sticking out the back, and in the foreground is a medium sized hole that has been dug out of the snow. It looks like a tunnel downward into the soil. There is also snow in the foreground.

I'm not sure if this was someone shovelling out their front doorstep, or if a squirrel simply dropped their keys in the snow.

Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive? Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

absolutely massive news from the EU's top court! while it doesn't force every EU country to perform same-sex marriages, it *does* require them to recognise same-sex marriages from other countries the same way they recognise other foreign marriages

You're told it'll sabotage your career if you're a vocally politically opinionated, queer, woman. But things sabotaging my career are systemic xenophobia, sexism, and horrible job market. Which are a direct consequences of people not being vocally opinionated in the first place.
