Outcry as Trump plots the plunder of US forests: "You can almost hear the chainsaws" Public comments suggest repealing the Clinton-era "roadless rule" is wildly unpopular.

In 1999, Bill Clinton announced that “the last, best unprotected wild lands anywhere in our nation” would be shielded by a new rule that banned roads and drilling.

Today, these lands could soon see chainsaws and logging trucks amid a push by Trump to raze these ecosystems for timber.

Hey peeps, many library cards will give you free access to Kanopy! Here are some horror movies they have in their library: The Vourdalak, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, Train to Busan, Exhuma, Oddity, Let the Right One In, The Wicker Man, Birth/Rebirth, Titane, Starve Acre, Ganja & Hess.

A golden graphic titled “Sabr for Spark Space.” The background has a watercolor effect. The text says: “Spark Space is bringing free internet and electricity to dozens of high school students for their tawjihi exams this week—among bombing, mass displacement, and ground invasion in Gaza City, this is an act of resistance to ethnic cleansing. We're meeting their sabr (patience) with our boldness: help keep the lights on. linktr.ee/sparkworkspace.” Next to the text is an illustration of a cactus pear in yellow and green.

Please share: 24-HOUR BIRTHDAY DRIVE 💡My ONE wish today is to help high school students in Gaza City take their exams 💛

We’re matching 100 to help Spark Space host these kids with internet & electricity—under bombs and ground invasion. Match their bravery.

"you are taking in the human centipede of content from the very end of the line" is such a good way of describing AI

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

It’s Banned Books Week, and I don’t need you to buy my book as a solve for it (but buy it if you want to! That’s still extremely cool of you)—I need you to show up for your public libraries and your schools!

You can already see expansion. At first they railed at "illegals" and assured us they loved immigrants who came the "right way." Now they're targeting legal immigrants and Green Card holders and trying to denaturalize people who were born here to undocumented parents.

look ai is completely destroying the world with massive pollution and is using up water at a concerning rate but at least you get to use technology that lies to you and is the primary propaganda mechanism by fascists

If you need vaccines (25-26 Covid booster, flu, pneumonia, etc), CVS is currently very much doing a “tick this box if you qualify for this vaccine” method of self-verification for online vaccine scheduling so GO GET YOUR SHOTS before this CDC stuff gets more insane

Pay attention to the language that will be used by much of the media.

The Global Sumud Flotilla never entered Israeli waters.

They are in international waters attempting to reach Palestinian waters.

Israel is once again breaking international law

"AI" DOES NOT REPLACE JOBS

I hear *someone* is having a sale next week.

I guess they have to try and recoup some of that $2.5 billion they’re forking over for *checks notes* being deceptive? Who would’ve thought?

Feels like Oct 7 & 8 will be prime days to support independent bookstores. 😌

I want to talk about generative AI because of the defeatist impulses chronicled in this article. While simply expresssing a defiant attitude cannot always change lived-in reality, in certain cases it definitely can. This is in part because, early on, a conflict can exist at a perceptions level. 1/?
