How a billionaire with interests in Greenland encouraged Trump to acquire the territory US president’s friend Ronald Lauder – who first proposed Arctic expansion – is now making deals in the island

"“Trump called me down to the Oval Office,” John Bolton, national security adviser in 2018, told the Guardian. “He said a prominent businessman had just suggested the US buy Greenland.”"

That prominent businessman? Ronald Lauder of Estée Lauder

Most of the time I come up empty handed when thrifting (which is fine. I'm picky). But yesterday, I had a magical day where I set out in search of a specific item for my halloween costume and found it within 5 minutes.

There were so many people that we spent the first hour standing in place before we could get moving

A Greener Halloween | Duke Today

"A 2019 study found that discarded Halloween costumes generated around 2,000 tons of plastic waste each year." All the more reason to DIY or thrift your costume. today.duke.edu/2022/10/gree...

Not surprising that a company that exploits workers is also complicit in apartheid & genocide. #BoycottZARA

E.P.A. Is Said to Draft a Plan to End Its Ability to Fight Climate Change

"If the Trump administration is able to repeal the endangerment finding, it would not only erase all current limits on greenhouse gas pollution from cars, factories, power plants & other sources. It would prevent future administrations from trying to tackle climate change, w/ lasting implications."

Target gave $1M to Trump inauguration fund, a first for the company President Donald Trump raised a record amount of cash for his inauguration, including donations from several companies with operations in Minnesota.

Will continue to boycott Target. (And this is from someone who used to love Target so much that I couldn't imagine living too far from one.) www.startribune.com/target-gave-...

AI Is Accelerating the Loss of Our Scarcest Natural Resource: Water With the rise of generative AI, companies have significantly raised their water usage, sparking concerns about the sustainability of such practices.

Stop pushing AI on us everywhere! I've given some of my garments their own hashtags in order to track how I wear/style them (& to share that with others). Now I can't use that anymore b/c I don't want to contribute to this, especially for something as silly as hashtags www.forbes.com/sites/cindyg...

“A 2010 study that analyzed 40 years of protest coverage in five major newspapers, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, found that the papers depicted protests — even peaceful ones — as nuisances rather than as necessary functions of democracy.”

Now when you click on a hashtag in Instagram, it gives you an AI summary. NO ONE asked for this, Meta. I don’t need a summary explaining, say, what #LowBuyYear is. I know what it is, which is why I used it.

Nike Says Its Factory Workers Earn Nearly Double the Minimum Wage. At This Cambodian Factory, 1% Made That Much. Nike has made an expansive effort to convince consumers, investors and others that it is improving the lives of factory workers who make its products, not exploiting them. A rare view of wages at one ...

"In Nike’s marketing materials, contract factory workers are often smiling." But the reality is forced overtime, abuse, and earnings that are not living wages. Important reporting from @propublica.org & @oregonian.com

No, Poshmark, I do not want to use AI to list my item. You are revealing yourself to be unserious about sustainability when you push this on us.

Trump officials quietly move to reverse bans on toxic ‘forever chemicals’ EPA bids to change chemical risk evaluations, which could expose public to higher levels of PFAS and other pollutants

"If successful, the public would almost certainly be exposed to much higher levels of chemicals linked to a range of serious health issues such s cancer, hormone disruption, liver disease, birth defects, and reproductive system damage, the plan’s opponents say."

Trump’s ‘climate’ purge deleted a new extreme weather risk tool. We recreated it The Guardian has recreated a searchable climate future risk tool developed by Fema but then deleted

A tool developed by the US Federal Emergency Management Agency to chart local climate impacts and risk nationwide — deployed in the twilight days of the Biden administration — was deleted in February by the Trump administration. But it's back! ⤵️ buff.ly/WLlPw7M

Sure seems like they're trying to kill us.

Did you know that in addition to your food scraps and yard waste, you can compost your fingernail clippings and hair?! Composting is required in NYC starting April 1.

This is stupid. It's anti public health and anti civil liberties. New York folks, call Hochul's office & tell her to remove the subway mask ban from her upcoming bill. 518-474-8390. Call your state reps too.

Was tempted by a clothing brand’s sale and seriously contemplating a knit blazer. Then went to look in my closet and realized I already had one. A good reminder to shop your own closet!
