I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Five years ago, I wrote an open letter asking climate scientists to speak out. Now governments are in retreat, it is surely time to act, says climate professor Bill McGuire

This. This is the correct, science-backed, responsible framing. Wish more news outlets did it like the CBC.
'Just stop burning fossil fuels.' Scientists stress that our smoky skies only have one true fix | CBC News
Smoky skies in Toronto have led to new scrutiny of government efforts to fight fires and manage forests. But scientists say the realistic way to tackle the smoke is fighting climate change itself.

It is funny that some people honestly think this is how impartiality in the media should work. And actually sometimes the bothsiderism is so painful and selling the public so short.

What a bizarre act of self-sabotage by the new editor! Why the hell would you ditch one of the country's best cartoonists?
Fiona Katauskas@fionakatauskas.bsky.social · 3w agoSo, I found out on Friday that my gig at the Guardian is coming to an end in late August. Needless to say I'm rather bummed by this development AND in need of a new job so if anyone's looking for a cartoonist HMU.

The sunroof. A brilliant innovation. (If it's not raining).
It’s weird to be clearly living through exactly what was warned about with global warming and still have the concept treated as a future event or hypothetical.

I was lucky enough to be in Kakadu a couple of weeks back. The locals are terrified of what bird flu might wreak if/when it makes it there. If you've been, you'd know the birdlife is incredible. Would be absolutely heartbreaking.

Great news for lovers of community radio. Today, UTS (in Sydney) confirmed they'll commit to ongoing funding for 2SER-FM. It's in a diminished form, so there's more work to be done, but it survives. WOO HOOO Thank you for all your support so far. Go independent media! www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...
Sydney community radio to avoid axe under reduced capacity model

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”
Forbes@forbes.com · 2mo agoScientists have reached a consensus that human behavior is a big driver of climate change—but Americans aren't buying it.
We've had years to get up to speed with charging infrastructure in Oz. And yet we're woefully behind, particularly on major highways that carry holiday traffic & in many regional areas. The question is why? Has there been pressure from fossil fuel interests NOT to roll it out?
