“A future with less agricultural land but more organic farming would only be possible with widespread shifts to more plant-based, less land-hungry diets and large reductions in food waste” (They finally get there in the last paragraph) ourworldindata.org/is-organic-f...

Is organic farming better for the environment than conventional farming?

Organic farming often wins when we compare impacts on one unit of land, but there is no clear winner when we look at impacts per unit of food production.

On the topic of ineffective altruism, it's easy to make fun of EA, but *this* is the current state of the art in philanthropy. "Resilient Cities Catalyst" is a Rockefeller Foundation production and lists a bunch of huge corporations and foundations as "partners" (donors?) www.rcc.city/our-partners

Check out the QTs – just falling over themselves to applaud him for this idiocy (which isn’t his administration’s initiative or even the city’s, it’s some ineffective altruism nonprofit’s). He’s got a mandate to do whatever he wants. So what does he want to do?

On Sept. 11, Pete Hegseth defended the Iran war and declared: “The Lord trains our arms for war and our hands for battle.” Pope Leo XIV’s message bears repeating: Jesus “does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them.”

“Your Hands Are Full of Blood” — Pope Leo XIV’s Palm Sunday Message to Warmakers

On the first day of Holy Week, the pope invoked Isaiah to declare that God rejects the prayers of those who wage war — with the U.S.-Israeli bombing of Iran entering its second month.

A window into the havoc AI will cause: authors are getting regular AI-generated emails that look like invites to festivals, reading groups etc all to help boost sales/publicity. Often impersonating real industry people. It's such a niche phishing campaign + a demographic that famously HAS NO MONEY.

There's a case to be made for letting cities adopt stricter local codes, as a way of letting cities adopt life-saving rules (for seismic safety, etc.) that don't have political support statewide. Sadly, this process often seems to be used to adopt make-work rules that do little or nothing for safety

Unspeakably disgraceful. Doris Miller was a mess attendant -- the only jobs open to Black sailors -- who won the Navy Cross at Pearl Harbor. With this, and reports USN leaders are considering changing the design of aircraft carriers *because Trump said so* -- the Navy is dishonoring itself.
