I discussed this plan to remove a requirement for public input on air-pollution permits for data centers a little while back. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nywc...

The EPA plans to remove a requirement for public input on air-pollution permits for data centers. The proposal’s lack of transparency may worsen health risks, increase utility bills, and contribute to community displacement. https://bit.ly/4j2f0fM

book criticism discourse is like 99% hot air, but I do really wish Bluesky had a more lively literary scene. It’s still fractional to X/Twitter, sadly. I guess be the change you want to see, etc. I found this review far more rounded and fleshed out dissentmagazine.org/article/auto...

The Confessions of Rachel Cusk - Dissent Magazine

Autofiction collapses the distance between creator and product. But in her latest novel, Life of M, Rachel Cusk seeks an escape from this confessional mode.

There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”

“A single-payer universal health care system could cover every American, save more than 100,000 lives a year, and still cost $1 trillion less than the system it would replace, according to a new preprint study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health.” ysph.yale.edu/news-article...

Ein hervorragender Vortrag zu Hönigswald, der auch verständlich machen mag, warum ich ihn für das Systemtheoretisieren für relevant halte. Etwa hinsichtlich Reflexivität, der 'Getrennt-Verbundenheit' von Sprache, Monade und Körper, und Hönigswalds Unterlaufen der transzendental/empirisch-Dichotomie.

Fascinated by Sweden's RUT 50% tax deduction for the costs of household cleaning, babysitting, home repairs etc. Intended to bring those labor categories out of the black market, create legal low-skilled labor for immigrants etc www.ungdomskraft.com/en/guide/wha...

Here’s a case where we can & should make a difference. It’s about our communities, our homes. Be loud locally. These companies aren’t entitled to our neighborhoods & land just because they say so. It’s also an echo of DJT’s build- &-wreck-w/o-a-permit mode. A lawless regime encourages lawlessness.

Joanne Freeman@jbf1755.bsky.social · 2w ago

Wow. Given that no one wants data centers near them, they’re trying to eliminate the need for public input. They also want to allow building before permits are issued. So…find a way to submit your input anyway. Call & email & speak up. Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/25/c...

DHS is spending billions on domestic surveillance and data tools capable of targeting anyone, with little oversight or transparency. Congress must investigate how these powerful technologies are bought and used. bit.ly/4wx8EZO

DHS’s Domestic Surveillance, Data Collection, and Analytics Tools

Fueled by a budget boom, the Department of Homeland Security is expanding its technological arsenal, with little oversight or transparency around how these tools are used.

The outrage against Flock is justified, and we must keep up the same pressure to make sure elected officials don't turn to other surveillance companies like Axon that provide the same technology. Our fight isn't about one company, it's about protecting our rights from 24/7 government surveillance.

Cities Are Ditching Flock, Immediately Replacing It With Axon License Plate Readers

Rather than get rid of ALPR cameras entirely, many cities and towns are switching to Axon, whose cameras can be mounted to an existing streetlamp, helping them blend into their surroundings.

This opens the door to commercial development on public lands while also raising concerns about habitat impacts, water use, and the enormous energy demands of large-scale data centers. This isn’t just about one facility. It’s about public lands becoming the next frontier for private AI development.

Mamdani: "When I make criticisms of PM Netanyahu, they are criticisms of PM Netanyahu. And what I shared were not even frankly personal assessments, they were objective facts ... it's a city where everyone needs to know that their belonging to it is not conditional on how they feel about the mayor."
