Since Florida banned abortion at six weeks of gestation in May 2024, the number of pregnant women traveling out of state for the procedure has tripled: from 2,800 in 2023 to 10,200 in 2025, according to late-July data from the @guttmacher.org Institute english.elpais.com/usa/2026-08-...

The EU AI Act now requires “providers to disclose when images, audio, video or even text have been generated or substantially modified by AI, using visible labels alongside technical methods such as digital watermarks and embedded metadata.” www.computing.co.uk/news/2026/le...

Tech companies must label AI content from Sunday

I don't have a hot take on data centers, but I have several years of research on one (the Facebook/Meta data center complex in Prineville, Oregon). The more I research current trends, the more I think that one was a kind of goldilocks deal, the exception to the rule ...

Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."

We found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb. 2025)

Texas Won’t Study How Its Abortion Ban Impacts Women, So We Did

Since Texas banned abortion, no one has studied the statewide effects on pregnant women experiencing complications. Here’s how we sifted through data on millions of pregnancy hospitalizations and anal...

Trump claimed during the 2024 campaign that he wanted to leave abortion to the states. His pick for Attorney General, and his former personal lawyer, just said a nationwide abortion ban is on the table

NEW: Under questioning from Senator Ted Cruz, acting AG Todd Blanche said he would review Biden-era DOJ guidance on the Comstock Act if confirmed to the role. Comstock is an 1873 anti-obscenity law that conservatives want to use to stop the mailing of abortion pills in all 50 states @autonomynews.co

This is all shocking and the piece gets it across. But how do you write this long piece without ever mentioning that the sentencing judge is Reed O’Connor, one of the most egregious and reliable right wing hacks on the bench? I read it elsewhere and needed that fact to make any sense of the story.

Liz Soto and Savanna Batten are 2 of those sentenced to 50 years in prison for Prairieland. I visited them in a north Texas jail—11 months into their incarceration over a July 4 noise demo—to meet the Trump admin’s “Antifa terrorists”. from behind glass, Soto said, “They didn’t like my book club.”

this is a fake quote - by spreading it or refusing to delete it after being told it's fake, these people are actively helping the collapse of our information environment, and in doing so, directly helping fascists and authoritarians

Horrifying escalation of radical right-wing terrorism in Belfast, fueled in part by Musk and his algorithmic hate machine. I watched this playing out in real time last night as the mob walked through the streets, kicking on doors, lighting fires. It is pure fascism and it is a worldwide movement.

Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social · 2mo ago

The Far Right riot in Belfast last night was nothing less than “a race-based pogrom”, Belfast MP and leader of the SDLP Claire Hanna said. The mob hunted down non-whites and set fire to their homes. Carl Whyte, a local councillor, called it “a hard Far Right element”.

Well this is just stupid. ‘Doing good’ is the most divisive, political/partisan topic in existence because it exposes the differences between people’s values, beliefs and expectations, which is *guaranteed* to produce tension. One cannot have a discussion about ‘doing good’ without critique of bad

You know AI is going great when a UN conference has to explicitly demand of its speakers that they only say nice things about the plagiarism and environmental destruction machine
