Roundup on the roundups: I've published a new post assembling fifteen items on deportation, surveillance, ICE / DHS / Border Patrol brutality, and courtroom battles in Charlotte, Chicago, and beyond.
Roundup on the roundups, Nov. 27
Chicago has spent weeks in the barrel, and now Charlotte, N.C. gets to experience the tender mercies of the deportation campaign.

This is a VERY long piece about solar geoengineering that starts, scientifically speaking, badly, but gets better, but still has a few issues.
The Strange and Totally Real Plan to Blot Out the Sun and Reverse Global Warming
A 25-person startup is developing technology to block the sun and turn down the planet’s thermostat. The stakes are huge — and the company and its critics say regulations need to catch up.

Surprised to find a bunch of Marbled Godwits on the beach (in Hilton Head, South Carolina, USA) today.
Kid-me once got in deep trouble with my parents because I saw a bunch of kids throwing rocks at a flock of Marbled Godwits on a beach, so I threw rocks at the kids until they left.

He is not the most powerful man in science. He is the most powerful man in pseudo-science.

Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

The button bush plants were one of the few smaller plants left in the circled area at Eagle Marsh, as that entire area was the target of a controlled burn that left nothing but the few patches of bigger trees and a few shrubs around the edges in a couple of spots.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Raising the minimum wage is good, but not good enough.
Workers should’t have to constantly fall behind until politicians can be made to do their job.
It is time to do what Michigan, Maine, Ohio, Florida and 16 other states have already done and take the politicians out of it. #IndexTheMinimumWage

I am super-pro-public transit, and use it way more than the average American, but I live near a light rail station with very, very stable and predictable scheduling, and even then I would not use it for many things I use a car for because the cost of transit is time.
i wonder how much of Americans' views on driving vs. transit would change if they had to pay for gas/insurance/etc every time they turned on the engine
"i'm not paying $5 to take the train to work twice a day when i can just drive" is a genuine opinion held by so many people

Fascinating read on how a suspicious pitch highlighted a growing problem in freelance journalism: A flood of generative AI that even prestige publications don't catch, complete with fabricated quotes, from scammers who see opportunity in a field so many real humans are struggling to survive in.

A suspicious pitch from a freelancer led editor Nicholas Hune-Brown to dig into their past work. By the end, four publications, including The Guardian and Dwell, had removed articles from their sites.
