These negotiations are a huge, existential deal and the fact that the public doesn’t know shit about them is a problem.

The Mojave Desert Land Trust (mentioned in the article) does dope conservation work. Donate to them if you are able!

A lot of people have been asking how to help public radio/TV weather this current storm. One of my concerns has been making sure the most vulnerable stations that serve small populations in rural areas get the support they need to keep going. This new site offers a roadmap. adoptastation.org

I spent most of today seeking to meet with one of the many victims of ICE raids currently jailed in Downtown LA. While @chrclla.bsky.social focuses its efforts on impact litigation, my team boosts efforts on the ground whenever possible. What I saw speaks to the crisis in LA & beyond.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

One estimate found that a single ChatGPT search uses 10 times the energy of a normal Google search. In this op-ed, politics editor @leximcmenamin.com addresses the environmental costs of AI that not many seem to be talking about ⤵️

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

I check the little screen, I check the big screen, I check the watch screen, I check the tablet screen. I check the screen that reminds me of the good times, I check the screen that reminds me of the better times.

I love the Dodgers but I'm so annoyed that they all went to the White House to hang out with Trump after his administration decided that Jackie Robinson was too "DEI"

Time for another year of Mariners baseball, friends!

aint no way we cut medicaid and housing assistance so jeff bezos could buy this shirt

Them: What’s your favorite part of LA? Me:

1/2 If any East Coasters apart from Trump share pig-ignorant view that Calif just needs to 'release' water from north and send it to LA: Unt-uh. Sort of like saying: "You've got lowland floods in New Orleans? No prob. Just 'release' some of that high ground in Appalachians and lift the city up"

tbh fuck biden for suggesting this and fuck trump for probably doing this. god I hate AI.

Soooo frustrating to see the amount of misinformation about these LA fires online. Stop trying to tell people why these fires were caused or why there was “no water” during the onset when you know nothing about the ecology/weather patterns/water infrastructure of Southern California!!

Resnick-owned companies include: POM Wonderful, Fiji Water, Wonderful Pistachios and Almonds, Wonderful Seedless Lemons, Wonderful Halos (yes, those tiny mandarins your kids love, but there are mandarins grown by less rapacious farmers). Of those, Wonderful nuts use the most water by far.

amid all these socal fires and our ongoing drought, one thing we don't talk enough about is stewart & lynda resnick (via @motherjones.com) www.motherjones.com/environment/...
