I really appreciate the Guardian's continued focus on what's happening in Gaza

We followed five people in Gaza from dawn to dusk – this is what the headlines don’t tell us
Behind the stories of bombings and mass deaths, the everyday challenges facing Palestinians living under siege portray a quieter tragedy we rarely hear

Cornell University treating Gaza protestors more harshly than gang rapists is a real statement of values. It’s almost like violent domination by the powerful is the core belief of leadership.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

There's a real thing on Insta and Threads about the ongoing intense debate around personal vs corporate vs systemic responsibility when fighting, eg, climate or against GenAI. But GenAI is so unique: it barely existed 3 years ago; we all lived our lives normally. Yet heavy use still gets excused?

In fact people have the politics here backwards in a lot of ways— Meeks forced Biden to pause an F-15 transfer to Israel for months and Biden nagged at him repeatedly and demanded that he lift the hold and Meeks finally did. In other words, Biden pushed Congress to let him expedite transfers.

Survey stacked bars comparing 2025 and 2026 responses on whether AI in the next 10 years will do "more to hurt," "more to help," "not make much difference," or "not sure" for society, the U.S. economy, the environment, and you personally, showing increased "more to hurt" shares in 2026.News article headlined "Claims that AI can help fix climate dismissed as greenwashing," with a subheading about industry "diversionary" tactics, above an illustration of a smartphone chatbot icon and glowing speech bubbles symbolizing AI-driven conversation and environmental debate.

Nice piece here packed with information about the tech-fossil-CCS nexus that has become more clear in the past year www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2026/09/25/d...
Two Industries, Two Problems, One Big Carbon Capture Scam
AI data centers are incredibly energy-hungry; by 2028, they may command as much electricity as 55 million households. Already, 40% of data center energy comes from dirty gas.

The AI boom is already driving the construction of new gas-fired power plants and keeping old power plants on life support. This is creating a real credibility issue for the tech industry’s unenforceable climate and environmental pledges.

The fossil fuel industry has a different problem. They need new customers to justify massive new pipelines, new power plants, and fracking. CCS is the bridge between these two destructive industries. It’s providing Big Tech a new fig leaf and the fossil fuel industry a massive new customer base.

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.
