A little good news. Many folks fought hard to keep this mining operation from happening.

An original artwork of a robin redbreast perched on a branch, created using acrylic paints on A3 board.

Today
I heard a robin
singing,
balancing
the world
in the soft light
of dawn,
bringing something
#Precious
beyond telling
to a world
adrift in chaos.

It's genuinely terrifying that my country is at war and I can't tell the difference between a press conference by the Secretary of Defense and a pro wrestler hyping an upcoming match.

This is not hyperbole. Hegseth is emotionally incapable and intellectually void and that is an important job.

Do I Have the Right to Film ICE? Despite government attacks against protesters and the press, documenting interactions with law enforcement and federal agents is protected by the First Amendment. Here’s what you need to know.

Yes.

ICE agents don't get to carve out a First Amendment exception for themselves.

I can’t shake the feeling that AI’s relationship to humanity is essentially parasitical, and while there might be some beneficent aspects of it in the short run, ultimately this will end like all parasitical relationships do. Can anyone recommend something I could read that argues otherwise?
