"Just as we make ourselves more energy-secure by switching from fossil fuels to renewables, we make ourselves more food-secure by switching from animals to plants." - @georgemonbiot.bsky.social
Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...
Just a reminder how bad it is here in 'Merikkka these days, yesterday a bunch of children were murdered in a mass shooting and it didn't even make the news.

A share of merch sales will go to the Sandy Hook families, which will be the first time they get any money since they filed this lawsuit eight years ago.
Legal fees have been insane. Please sign up and help us out!
With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.
We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.
Please stand by for more.
A more accurate headline might read: 'Broccoli farmer has his facts wrong on solar energy & land use'.
For Ireland to hit its target of 8GW of solar power would require 0.25% of farmland.
Somehow the remaining 99.75% isn't adequate to maintain food supply...?

With this new InfoWars, we will democratize psychological torture, welcoming brutal and sadistic ideas from everyone, even the very stupidest among us. It will be like the Manhattan Project, only instead of a bomb, we will be building a website. The InfoWars of tomorrow will converge into a swirling vortex of content about content, talent acquiring talent, rings of concentric media mergers processing all human artistry into one endlessly digestible slurry. This will be a dank, sunless place, one where panic and capital feed on each other like twins in the womb of a hulking, unknowable monster—a monster known by many names, but which I like to call modern-day America.
What a beautiful piece of writing from my boss, @brycetetraeder.bsky.social.

New York's proposed 2026-2027 budget includes provisions that will require all 3D printers sold in the state to run print-blocking censorware—software that surveils every print for forbidden designs. This stifles free expression and privacy. New Yorkers, take action at EFF.org/3DPrintNY.

I was referring to the human-influenced part of climate change.
Every 3D print in NY can be surveilled — from political speech to company prototypes — if these provisions make it into the state budget. We need to act NOW to stop it. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
California amenaza la impresión 3D. El proyecto de ley A.B. 2047 busca imponer censura algorítmica obligatoria en las impresoras y criminalizar el uso de firmware de código abierto. Un desastre estilo DRM que destruirá la innovación y el control del usuario. www.eff.org/es/deeplink...

tRump, 79 & turning 80 in June, just declared in Vegas: “I’m not a senior... I cater to the seniors, but I don’t happen to be a senior myself.” 😂
Bro, you’ve been a senior citizen for 14 years. This level of denial is next-level dementia. He can’t even admit his own age.

We wrote it in consultation with dozens of doctors, including those who regularly treat patients who are miscarrying 👇

I mean the companies will do the right thing and send us a refund...am I right?......🤔🤔
Privacy stalwarts in Congress just bought us 10 more days to put together a bill that actually reforms Section 702. Keep pushing.

I made a site a while back that’s just a map of live webcams. It’s pretty sparse in places, I’m piggybacking off a service that’s for the US and Europe, but there are some in Tanzania that are pretty zen when it’s light out
