Artificial intelligence is "incredibly unpopular technology" that is essentially being forced on people, says writer @astradisastra. Data centers are facing stiff resistance in communities across the United States, providing "local choke points where people can come together and push back on the billionaire Big Tech agenda."

"The school would rather... hurt their students than even consider divestment."

A Jewish American student who was arrested after police cleared a Gaza solidarity encampment at UCLA has condemned the treatment of Palestine solidarity student protesters ⤵️

Just watch the first two minutes. You hear tasers going off; students are screaming throughout. They are thrown to the ground, assaulted.

We see the police throw students down the stairs as the cops also push away press.

This video is just 5 minutes of what happened tonight.

All eyes on Rafah

I’m in awe of these brave students at Columbia and across the country who put it all on the line, degrees and futures, for Palestinian lives. I salute you.

Portland State University’s library has been under occupation by pro-Palestinian protesters since Monday. Chairs are piled around the windows. Wood pallets are stacked next to the doors as fortifications. Here is a look inside the makeshift fortress. https://t.co/WbUtVFI1dh

For authors still wondering if your voices matter, $75,000 will now be donated to the @ThePCRF because of the dogged work of @wawog_now and the moral courage of dozens of writers of conscience who spoke out in solidarity with the people of Gaza.

Does anyone know stories or novels about a wooden leg or where one appears? There’s “Good Country People” by Flannery O’Connor. Any others?

Wow, RIP to The Grit, an Athens institution —

When it comes to the carbon footprint of our diet, we focus on things like transport and packaging (the brown bit).

But most of the emissions come from land use and activities on the farm (green bit).

This is why *what* you eat matters much more.
