My god. A Virginia data center ran backup diesel generators full blast for 24 hours, creating a giant cloud of toxic smoke that choked its human neighbors. The government claimed there was nothing they could do.

Last week, Texas executed Jamaal Howard, a mentally ill and intellectually disabled man. It was the first since Tennessee's botched killing. In this piece, his spiritual advisor Jeff Hood describes their final conversations, in which he tried to help Howard understand his fate.

After a botched execution in Tennessee, Texas is set to kill Jamaal Howard, who has so many mental health problems and intellectual disabilities that he doesn't understand how he will be killed.

Surveillance and intimidation of Tohono O’odham is escalating as the Trump administration is determined to bisect their land with a border wall that is an environmental disaster. (They have already started cutting old growth trees down near Tucson.)

The loss of 200 year old trees is significant anywhere. But in the Sonoran desert, a delicate ecosystem that can be quite harsh, their loss is devistating.

"A proposal by the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) to power data centres in the province will only allow natural gas-powered projects to connect to the grid" The worst petrostates on the planet are scrambling to cement AI slop as a new demand source for fossil fuels
A proposal by the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) to power data centres in the province will only allow natural gas-powered projects to connect to the grid.

The June proposal states that gas-fired thermal generation can operate in all weather conditions, can handle high electric loads and passes the “electrical island” test, meaning it can provide stable power without grid access.

Renewables, hybrid facilities and standalone energy storage facilities are excluded because they don’t meet those requirements it says.

don't worry, there's only like 50 years of hard data, much of which involves this very company, showing that these megadeals are pointlessly disastrous for labor, consumers, markets, and product quality
"TD Cowen analyst Doug Creutz wrote in a note Wednesday that investors should hold their shares of Skydance as the firm remained “quite cautious on the ability of the company and its management to avoid integration and execution problems that have bedeviled other major media mergers.”

“The risks (leverage, integration) of the combination with WBD are high; we remain skeptical that SKYD management will be able to create value from this deal when so many other major media deals have failed,” the note read."

People w Long COVID are stigmatized & ignored throughout society. In prison, it's a situation of almost total silence. Despite very high COVID infection rates, there's no talk abt Long COVID cases. That's a result of the way prisons treat medical needs in general. thesicktimes.org/2026/09/29/i...
