if you've got an old phone, you can turn it into an offline device, filled to the brim with survival manuals, most of human knowledge, and maps. Throw in a pay-as-you-go SIM card and you've now got an amazing emergency device, especially if it uses a different phone network than your main phone.

Blocking the wayback machine's data crawler: A kneecapped Wayback Machine isn’t just bad news for accountability journalism—it will also be a blow to the legal system, as pages archived by the tool are frequently cited as evidence in litigation
Fight for the Future@fightforthefuture.org · 3mo agoThe move to block the Archive from preserving the news makes zero sense. These news outlets are blocking the Wayback Machine even as they rely on it for crucial reporting… Not to mention we need fact-checking more than ever in the age of AI. www.wired.com/story/the-in...

Brian Merchant@bcmerchant.bsky.social · 4mo agoLast week, a 20 year-old man threw a molotov cocktail at Sam Altman's mansion; two days later, people fired a gun at it. Earlier that week, someone fired gunshots into an city councilman's house who approved a data center. Why the AI backlash has turned violent:
Hubris: "The American “character”...is defined by arrogance, delusion, and militaristic violence.... We would be reduced to a laughingstock as we alienated our allies and friends and walked stupidly into an escalating series of traps laid out by our rivals."

A nation of guns, death and hate: Trump's proposed 2027 defense increase of 42 percent, or $445 billion, to a staggering total of $1.5 trillion, through the elimination of “woke, weaponized, and wasteful programs” — inc. steep cuts to the IRS, EPA, NASA, and NIH.
