To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

A rare 200-tree American chestnut grove in West Virginia may be cleared for data-center development, but the project denies the site is on its land.

Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

Anxious about the elections? Imagine that you’re somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs begin to take hold. You remember saying something like "I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive. . . ." And suddenly the sky is full of what look like huge bats.

Selfishly I'm so glad I was able to get back to DC in 2023, because I had a deep sense that it might be the last time I could see it in a less-corrupted form. I feel for city residents who deal with all the unreasonable, undemocratic shit the Trump admin throws at them.

Elon Musk, who is estimated to have ensured the mass deaths of 16 million people by 2030, most of whom will be children, is also history's most prolific creator and distributor of CSAM. He has basically infinite money to avoid facing any legal consequences whatsoever for his vast, vast crimes.

Low-angle view of the vintage stainless-steel exterior of the Hi-Lo Diner against a moody, overcast sky. Prominently displayed above the metallic roof trim is a large neon sign glowing red that reads "Diner" in a cursive script. Warm soffit lights glow along the diner's metallic overhang.

Getting reports of bad election ideas in Signal groups. Defend democracy by shooting these down. No, you can’t show up at a precinct & be a challenger/observer. Those must be appointed by a party, nonpartisan campaign or ballot initiative. Letter must be accepted by officials. No letter, out you go.

What a school library in Roseville, MN could do with $10,000: #LocalAngle Also: “Nothing shows more privilege than when people say, Can’t people just buy books?”
"I could completely overhaul my nonfiction section. When I started 10 years ago, a paperback was $4.99 or $5.99, and they are $9.99 or $10.99 now.
Picture book hardcovers used to be $14 or $15, and now they're at least $19 or $20.
My budget has stayed stagnant or gone down, and book prices have only gone up.
We still have Pluto books - Pluto doesn't even exist as a planet anymore! With $10,000, I could buy every brand-new book that year. $10,000 feels like the moon."

Black and white photograph of a restaurant dining room. The ceiling features a drop ceiling with a wavy edge that runs along the edge of the room. The underside of the drop ceiling is dark, the elevated side is lighter. The dining area is arranged with round tables covered in white tablecloths, surrounded by dark chairs with upholstered backs. To the right, chandeliers hang from the ceiling.
