The Chehalis tribe of Washington State just south of Olympia have retaken possession of land along the I-5 corridor. This is how they repurposed the billboard facing the freeway.

I’ve walked the fields at dawn for years. The air used to hum with bees. Now it’s quieter every season. What most people never see is the scale: over 3.7 million tonnes of pesticide active ingredients poured onto the planet every year — more than double what we used in 1990.

The Amazon holds 150-200B tons of carbon. Congo Basin: 60B tons. Lose them, we lose the climate fight. Protecting remaining forests isn’t charity — it’s survival. No to deforestation. #Ecocide

It's important to understand that Ronald Reagan's 'War on Drugs' was never about drugs. He wanted an excuse to imprison Black People. In the 8 years from 1981-1989 he TRIPLED the percentage of 18-25 Black Males in prison. Where he used them as slave labor.

As I warned you: the superstar media darling AI quitter is explicitly agreeing with Trump and claiming climate threats are "overplayed". Effective altruism / rationalism is a cult of broken priorities that denies the threat of fossil fuels. This is why Anthropic loves burning gas for power.

Ed Sheeran hoped to sidestep controversy with the removal of Macklemore from his tour over his pro-Palestine remarks. Instead, he sparked what one writer said could be a "turning point in pop culture complicity" with Israel.

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

The NYT lost the Pulitzer for their transphobic podcast series with Azeen Ghorayshi to Pablo Torre and his reporting on the Clippers. They're salty about it so of course they're not going to properly credit him.
Screenshot of an X (Twitter) post by journalist Julie K. Brown (@jkbjournalist) criticizing coverage by The New York Times and The Athletic.
​The post text reads:
"It is shameful that @nytimes @TheAthletic buried the fact that the biggest punishment in NBA history was the result of an investigation by journalist @PabloTorre. And to call it the result of a 'podcast episode' is a further slap in the face. He won a Pulitzer for this story and they call it an 'episode' instead of, at the outset -- crediting him with exposing this scandal. Really really lame."
