Data center construction has migrated to places of low resistance: poor, often Black areas where corrupt deals are commonplace and the harms to residents invisible. Lowndes County, Alabama, in the heart of the Black Belt, is one of those places. 🧵 prospect.org/2026/10/01/d...

Bill C-39 doubles down on habitat offsets, in which companies can "build" new habitat elsewhere to compensate for what they destroy in building a mine, a port, a pipeline or other project. The practice is highly contested by scientists. “This is our worst fear,” said biologist Misty MacDuffee.

Offsetting for habitat loss almost never works. Ottawa wants more of it

New policy proposed in Bill C-39 will allow developers to buy credits or pay fees to compensate for the habitats they destroy.

Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

It's called film "footage" because camera operators initially held the cameras with their feet. That changed after a film shoot in 1931, when an operator got a foot cramp and was forced to hold the camera in his hands. The "footage" he got that day was extraordinary. That man's name? Hans Cameraman.

If you don't make eye contact, drivers will say they didn't expect you to cross. If you do, they will say you clearly saw them coming so you shouldn't have crossed. You will always be wrong. It will always be your fault. It's "get out of the way or I'll kill you" with the thinnest of veneers.

Erika Ishii's inclusion is not a "controversial announcement". This is elevating weird gamergaters' boring whining as deserving of attention. There's no "sides" to this, there's no "issue": It's a talented performer who's done nothing wrong being hated for who they are.

I've said this before but there are massive parallels between AI & car dependency: This is the approach we take to cars which I say not just to reiterate how wild our attitude to road safety is but also to say that, ridiculous as it sounds, if we don't push back on this constantly it'll work.

We are aware that Steam has classified Nighthawks as an adult game and has excluded it from searches (and delisted it entirely in certain countries). We are working on it. Valve is under the impression that this game is way sexier than it actually is.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.
