It seems we are already losing sight of the fact that a handful of billionaires effectively turned our information ecosystem into a Superfund site, no one knows how to clean up the mess, and simply telling the truth and hoping people find it is woefully insufficient

In Tulkarm and Jenin in the occupied West Bank, Israeli bulldozers are "destroying infrastructure and businesses" on a scale never before experienced. Israeli soldiers are also "impeding local emergency responders." www.nytimes.com/2024/09/25/w...

According to my psychiatrist, holding an ice cube for 30 seconds calms cravings and releases endorphins. It sounds like some Win Hoff nonsense, but apparently, there's real science behind Hoff and what my p-doc has told me.

A friend of ours has started in #astrophotography just a little over a year ago. He has been self-teaching through YouTube. This week he was nominated as a photography finalist for his work. He just sent me his latest. Already 1000 times better than me! Shared with permission. 📸 David Elford

They knowingly killed a man who is likely innocent. The political right has devolved from “of course the system would never executed an innocent man” to executing an innocent man just to show they can. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

A luddite is not someone who hates new technology, it is someone who is concerned about its applications. Since it was named after a guy, Ned Ludd, we don't afaik have a word for the opposite sort of person, but there are a LOT of them around right now.

As we approach Banned Books week, here's my annual reminder: If you're going to partake, buy and read banned books from living authors. The Bradbury and Vonnegut estates don't need your money, but Maia Kobabe probably does.

Here's a humbling thing that has happened to me a few times over the years: I try to write an opinion piece or argumentative take. For some reason, I can't crack it. I do draft after draft. Something isn't working. I don't know what. Then, finally, I figure it out. My opinion is wrong.

Some ask me why I'm voting for the PSL candidate. The answer is this: What would you do if your country was enabling a genocide? Would you have the courage to protest against it? Would you hold those already in power (Biden/Harris) responsible for not ending more weapons shipments? Would you resist?

Want some catharsis after Musk's creepy incel comment? Watch him nearly cry because two of the Apollo astronauts testified before Congress against Musk's plan to privatize space travel. Cernan described it (rightly) as a 'pledge to mediocrity'. Thanks Obama. youtu.be/23GzpbNUyI4?...
