"It doesn't affect me mentally that the world is in a bad situation. I just view it as a challenge. It's fixable. Humans can undo what they've done, it just requires will, caring. Anything can be changed." The Bulletin's @meckdevil.bsky.social, interviewed by @troyfarah.bsky.social for @salon.com.

"Thank you for calling the Straight of Hormuz customer service line. Please listen closely because our options have recently changed. If you are calling regarding our hours of operation, please note that these may vary."

Iran says the Strait is closed as Israel continues its assault on Lebanon, Trump ramps up his attacks on Italian PM Meloni, and much more. Your midday update is here.

This might be one of the funniest chart about energy scenarios I’ve seen. You can hardly see “actual” for gas

The really basic & incredibly obvious lesson of Russia-Ukraine and Israel/US-Iran is that wars are hard and unpredictable. Even when one side appears to have a clear initial advantage.

This sounds like a great idea

Hundreds of thousands of borrowers in Illinois, and millions more nationwide, need to select a new student loan repayment plan if they don’t want to end up on a more expensive plan by default.

Word to the wise. If you're in the USA and you're reading anything from an English-speaking nation that is not the USA as the UK, Australia, maybe even Canada and you hear the term "neoliberal" just replace it with "conservative," which is typically the corresponding term in the USA.

Kinda think “Israel blows up the deal they didn’t negotiate that commits them to ‘refrain from the threat or use of force’ against Iran and Lebanon in perpetuity” is an under-discussed outcome right now.

The whistleblower has posted footage from inside a JBS pork plant, showing broken equipment and a near-impossible working environment.

I've come to wonder too whether #AI just ends up kinda freezing our collective knowledge, as if what we know now is all there is to know. Which would cut us off from possibilities

A new Consumer Reports investigation finds that Uber and Lyft riders often see different prices for the same ride, even when they request it at the same time, along the same route to the same destination.

"The last thing any of us want is a world where every company across every sector is ceding value to a few models that eat everything they see," Nadella wrote. "There is no societal permission for an AI future that hollows out entire industries." https://bit.ly/4eJCvaU

Jesus fucking christ. "I can't tell anyone that you raped me because it would destroy my brand" is one of the bleakest god damn things I've ever seen, and I literally study bleak shit for a living.

LFG #Canada we are getting it

More than $1 billion in medical debt has been erased for over 530,000 Illinoisans across the entire state. And our latest budget continues our effort to make healthcare more attainable.

The Pacific Northwest, especially west of the Cascade Mountains, is known for its mild, damp climate, historically ideal for growing leafy greens. But as climate change raises the mercury, those harvests have become harder to reap, reports Syris Valentine.

What a great idea #Canada www.rogerschocolates.com/shop/canadia...

What a beautiful and tasty idea! kudos to all involved.

sure why not

IMHO this is the best policy initiative from #PMMC yet. Kudos! www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

ICE shouldn't be at schools. Period. This is horrific, it's unacceptable. These parents should be immediately released and we must all collectively demand that ICE stay out of schools. www.thebanner.com/education/k-...

Why #nuclearEnergy will always be a bad idea... "Choosing a final disposal site for spent fuel and building a facility would require 100 years and tens of thousands of years to monitor the storage deep underground." No language has survived anywhere close to that time. Nor have humans ..

Since #AI has proven itself as unreliable I'm not sure that this is a good idea, let alone taking people out of decision making

The boat designed by Leonardo da Vinci has come back into use after a bridge was closed and traffic increased. The ferry is a model of sustainable transport, powered solely by the river’s current.

“Even in this receptive cultural environment, the depredations of the fracking industry—which has abandoned hundreds of ‘zombie wells’ on leased land and contaminated the aquifers on which ranchers depend—have begun to take a toll.”

Speaking of proper etiquette. Suburban street. Man carrying a small, struggling, screaming child who wants desperately to return to its mother, apparently in the opposite direction but nowhere to be seen. None of your business, the presumed dad has his hands full? Inject yourself into the situation?

One infers speed will be of the essence to conservative, Republican fascist attempts to steal elections going forward. Seems the sequence is people vote, Repubs cheat and quickly announce fake results, then claim anyone who challenges, audits, reviews it is a cheater out to steal their victory.

WTF is going on??
