To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

One of America’s Last Chestnut Groves Is About to Be Destroyed for a Data Center
A rare 200-tree American chestnut grove in West Virginia may be cleared for data-center development, but the project denies the site is on its land.

When my father was faculty at Cornell he was stopped by the police chief in the street & asked who he was & where he was going. When he balked at the fact that no one but him, an Arab man, was being asked, the chief said “I’m just protecting students” Same guy failed to investigate 7 rapists.

@profgabriele.com & I were quoted in an @apnews.com piece on right-wing politics driving the adoption of a new Western Civ textbook at military base schools. The reporter shared some quotes from it that are pretty similar to things I find on white nationalist websites apnews.com/article/defe...

Food and art baked into a yummy package. 🫓 A stunning, traditional Uzbek bread known as Patir - a dense and celebratory flatbread. The bread is meticulously decorated by hand with detailed patterns stamped into the center and a sculpted, flower-like border. It is then baked in a tandoor oven.

Before I became an American, I was Lebanese. Parts of my family live in Lebanon. Anyway, you don't need those bona fides to feel this way, but what is happening in Lebanon right now is a complete outrage. The people there, who mostly are just trying to carve out a living, don't deserve this.

🇵🇰 NEW: Pakistan’s parliament has passed the 27th Amendment, enshrining permanent military supremacy over state institutions. The reform cements Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir’s control over all armed forces, grants him lifelong legal immunity, and subordinates the judiciary to the executive...
to the executive — effectively returning the country of 240 million to a state of military dictatorship.

⭕️ Here’s what the change does:
➤ Creates a new “National Court” above the Supreme Court, with judges appointed by the executive — effectively ending judicial independence.
➤ Elevates Munir to Chief of Defense Forces, giving him command over the army, navy, and air force.
➤ Grants lifetime legal immunity to both the field marshal and the president.
➤ Forces judges to resign if they reject government-ordered transfers.
➤ Expands presidential powers over appointments and interim governments.

The law passed easily through parliament as opposition figures, including former Prime Minister Imran Khan, remain jailed or banned from politics. Protests are outlawed, media face censorship, and election-rigging allegations have gone uninvestigated.

Opposition lawmakers and legal experts told the New York Times and the Guardian it marks the final collapse of Pakistan’s fragile democracy, ending even the pretense of civilian oversight. “It’s not martial law in name,” said analyst Ayesha Siddiqa, “but in effect, it’s direct military rule.”

(Based on reporting by NYT and the Guardian)
