On this day in 1804, the Second Battle of Sitka begins, as Tlingit forces resist Russian colonization. anticolonialhistory.com/event/396/
A modern reconstruction of a battle ready Katlian, leader of the Kiksadi clan and of the Tlingit resistance to the Russians in the Battle of Sitka. In addition to the Tlingit armor and dagger, Katlian wears his famous raven war helmet and he holds a Russian blacksmith's hammer that he acquired when storming the fortress of St. Archangel Michael in 1802. The hammer became his favorite weapon afterwards. Sitka National Historical Park.

For some reason, there is no shortage of dupes who believe that bioregionalism can coexist with "AI", data centers, crypto, blockchains, and similar tech bro nonsense. Let's make this utterly clear: These technologies are nothing more than massive scams at best and environmental disasters at worst.

an image of Peter Berg standing in front of a smog covered industrial dam with the following text imposed over the background: "The environmental movement is over. I actually believe it ended
on Earth Day in 1972, and in fact historians will probably say
that. Environmentalism had always been the handmaiden of late
industrial society. It was a way to preserve the material benefits
of industrial products and processes while mitigating the effect
of developing those products and carrying out those processes.
Clean water and clean air were the epitome of the environmental
movement. We had rivers that caught fire and air that was caus-
ing cancer. Even ordinary environments were visibly affected by
industrial processes. It’s not surprising to me that a lot of old-line
environmentalists have felt assailed by the deep-ecology, bio-
regional, whole-systems perspective because single-issue environ-
mentalism was a way to get through the day. It was a way to deal
with that soft-shoe planet-murder. You could take a bath in your
