This Corey Doctorow interview contains the most clear-eyed explanation for the Hugging Face attack I've heard. It's a much needed antidote to the breathless sensationalism surrounding LLMs. youtube.com/watch?v=nTqC...

Went camping weeks ago and saw a few fireflies at night (although not in the numbers we used to get). It made me realize: I haven't seen a single firefly at home in several years. Turns out they're dying off. Your kids probably won't ever experience them. www.farmersalmanac.com/are-fireflie...

I think one reason data center outrage is so pronounced is people spent decades recycling and composting and otherwise scrimping to offset energy use and protect clean water, and the second we hit an inflection point for cheap electricity the banking industry said we’re taking all of it, fuck you

Just rewatched Gregg Araki's NOWHERE for the umpteenth time, but first time on a big screen. It's so different to experience it in a theater with people who haven't seen it before. You forget how funny this movie is until you hear everyone laugh out loud at the elaborate sets and visual puns.

Great: Ald. La Spata, ATA honored Riley O'Neil in Council today. Awful: A public commenter said the dooring tragedy doesn't justify PBLs, implying O'Neil was killed because of a lack of "personal responsibility." Kudos to the alder for debunking her. www.audacy.com/wbbm780/news... @bikegridnow.org

Attention liberals: COVID anti-vaxxers are your fault for being "alienating" www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/o...
The Editorial Board
Measles Is Back. What Comes Next Will Be Worse.
Reversing the new vaccine skepticism will require a dedicated effort.

By The Editorial BoardThe Covid pandemic once seemed as if it might reinstill confidence. The virus was a new and terrifying pathogen for which scientists developed a safe, highly effective vaccine in record time. It offered a case study in the power of vaccination. But Covid, too, soon became subject to political polarization.

Many conservatives questioned the vaccine in irrational and self-defeating ways. Liberals rightly embraced the vaccine but sometimes went so far as to be alienating — insisting that children needed annual boosters (which most countries did not), calling for the firing of unvaccinated people and more. The combination played into many Americans’ pre-existing uncertainty about how much to trust public health experts. In the years since, vaccination rates for other diseases have slipped further.
