The emissions of the richest 1% are enough to cause an estimated 1.3 million heat-related deaths by the end of the century, as well as $44 trillion of economic damage to low- and lower-middle-income countries by 2050. The impacts of these climate damages will disproportionately impact those who have done the least to cause the climate crisis, particularly people living in the Global South, women, girls and Indigenous groups.

"Data center water usage closely parallels energy usage and carbon emissions. "
www.eesi.org/articles/vie...
Highlights: Data center developers are increasingly tapping into freshwater resources to quench the thirst of data centers, which is putting nearby communities at risk. Large data centers can consume up to 5 million gallons per day, equivalent to the water use of a town populated by 10,000 to 50,000 people. With larger and new AI-focused data centers, water consumption is increasing alongside energy usage and carbon emissions. Novel technologies like direct-to-chip cooling and immersion cooling can reduce water and energy usage by data centers. Data centers have a thirst for water, and their rapid expansion threatens freshwater supplies. Only 3% of Earth’s water is freshwater, and only 0.5% of all water is accessible and safe for human consumption. Freshwater is critical for survival. On average, a human being can live without water for only three days. Increasing drought and water shortages are reducing water availability. Meanwhile, data center developers are increasingly tapping into surface and underground aquifers to cool their facilities. Data center water usage closely parallels energy usage and carbon emissions. As data centers use more energy for their typical data center operations and to meet AI requests, they consume larger amounts of water to cool their processor chips, so as to avoid overheating and potential damage. Similarly, as energy use increases in data centers, so do carbon emissions. Source: https://www.eesi.org/articles/view/data-centers-and-water-consumption

The aerial prospect through which Patinir has rendered the composition, creates a position of omniscience for the viewer who shares in the God-like elevation granting them perfect legibility and visibility of the world below, and targeting the point between good and evil. 5/5
Landscape with Charon Crossing the Styx (c.1516),which depicts the classic tale of the ferryman Charon transporting a human soul across the Styx is an example whose iconography draws on both classical and biblical sources, with the presence of angels in the region of the painting depicting a Christian Heaven, while Charon and the multi-headed dog Cerebrus, reference Greek mythology.

Typical of Patinir’s landscapes was the use of three base colours to articulate recession, with brown in the foreground, blue-green in the middle zone, and blue in the distance. Dutch & Flemish painters often created multiple narratives through the use of staffage (smaller scale secondary figures).
St. Jerome in a Rocky Landscape (c. 1515-1519). Landscape viewed from a semi-aerial perspective. In the foreground a figure can be seen in a lean-to under a rock formation. Green hills and trees in the middle ground. The background depicts water, mountains, and sky in blue. Detail of St. Jerome in a Rocky Landscape. St. Jerome removes a thorn from a lion's paw. The left of the lean-to is a crucifix and a skull.

Patinir created some of the earliest known landscapes that privileged landscape as a primary subject. His relatively small landscape paintings were generally organized according to a horizontal format, which set the precedence for what is now commonly known as “landscape” format. 2/5
St Christopher Bearing the Christ Child (1550). Two cloaked figures in the foreground of a landscape. A tall lone tree also occupies the foreground.In the middle ground is a body of water, while mountains can be seen in the distance on the horizon line.

From an art historical perspective it's channeling the Romantic sublime, notably this piece by Caspar David Friedrich that features the back-facing Rükenfigur looking into the abyss. This is also known as the "prospector's view"-looking at the world from on high as something to be conquered.
Caspar David Friedrich's painting "Wanderer Above a Sea of Fog"(1818). Solitary man (military officer) stands on mountain top with back facing the viewer looking out over mountain peaks sticking out through cloud and fog.

Rolling the dice w a virus, whose longterm effects show similarities with psychiatric and neurological disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and dementia bc airlines told govts the pandemic was over and brunch was calling. 100s of millions of ppl suffer from brain fog.
As explained in their paper, published in Brain Communications on October 1, 2025, the team hypothesized that patients with brain fog might exhibit disrupted expression of AMPA receptors (AMPARs)—key molecules for memory and learning—based on prior research into psychiatric and neurological disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and dementia. Thus, they used a novel method called [11C]K-2 AMPAR PET imaging to directly visualize and quantify the density of AMPARs in the living human brain. By comparing imaging data from 30 patients with Long COVID to 80 healthy individuals, the researchers found a notable and widespread increase in the density of AMPARs across the brains of patients. This elevated receptor density was directly correlated with the severity of their cognitive impairment, suggesting a clear link between these molecular changes and the symptoms. Additionally, the concentrations of various inflammatory markers were also correlated with AMPAR levels, indicating a possible interaction between inflammation and receptor expression.

On Friday, 25 Republican members of Congress released an open letter to Mr. Carney and leaders of Britain, France and Australia, warning them of punitive reprisals if they proceeded with plans for the “unilateral recognition” of Palestine, saying it removes incentives for Palestinian leaders to recognize Israel’s right to exist and repudiate terrorism.

Parents stop sharing photos of your children online. Also, insist that your child's school quit with the institutional Facebook accounts. Meta's regulations are designed to bolster the rights of the company, not the individual.
The children’s images were used by Meta after their parents had posted them on Instagram to mark their return to school. The parents were unaware that Meta’s settings permitted it to do this. One mother said her account was set to private, but the posts were automatically cross-posting to Threads where they were visible. Another said she posted the picture to a public Instagram account. The posts of their children were highlighted to the stranger as “suggested threads”. The recipient told the Guardian the posts felt “deliberately provocative and ultimately exploitative of the children and families involved”.

Trace the suppliers for these 15 companies and watch the complicity bloom. Canada's political economy, for instance, has contributed substantially to enabling the genocide by supplying necessary parts for war planes (see article below) and making big $ deals with Palantir.
“The briefing also names 15 companies that Amnesty International has identified as contributing to Israel’s unlawful occupation, genocide or other crimes under international law. They include US multinationals Boeing and Lockheed Martin,the Israeli arms companies Elbit Systems, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), the Chinese company Hikvision, the Spanish manufacturer Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles (CAF), the South Korean conglomerate HD Hyundai, the US software company Palantir Technologies, the Israeli technology firm Corsight, and the Israeli state-owned water company Mekorot. “But let’s make no mistake: these 15 companies are just a small sample of all those responsible for sustaining a government that has engineered famine and mass killing of civilians and denied Palestinians fundamental rights for decades. Every economic sector, the vast majority of states, and many private entities have knowingly contributed to or benefited from Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and its brutal occupation and apartheid in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.”

While you are at it, you might as well get that "other" coming-of-age talk out of the way. Because if kids are harmed by AI or start vaping those yummy fruity flavours via colourful devices def not designed to lure children into an addiction, it is your fault.
To explain how AI works to your kids, Watkins recommends playing a Google game called Quick, Draw!. Players receive a drawing prompt, and the game's neural network tries to guess what you're drawing by recognizing patterns in doodles from thousands of other players. Headline for "Life Kit" parenting article embedded in main article reads "Parents, it's time to talk to your child about vaping."

Parents, don't let your children taste AI through their friends, make sure AI indoctrination starts at home. And make sure to have "the talk" early in life.
Start the conversation early Broach the conversation when children are elementary-school age, Watkins says, before they encounter AI through their friends at school or in other spaces. To guide these discussions, Watkins says to budget time each week to learn about AI and try the tools for yourself. That might mean listening to a podcast, reading a newsletter or experimenting with platforms like ChatGPT.

I think that "unlike other authors" Alex and "AI as the most radical act of feminism" Josie would have a lot to talk about. 🙄
The course reading list So where did the agent’s knowledge of me come from? My publisher Routledge did a training data deal with Open AI, which I guess could cover my books on media, AI and live experience. Unlike some authors, I’m up for that. My books guide people through an amazing and fast-moving subject, and I want them in the global conversation, in every format and territory possible (Turkish already out, Korean this month).

"It thought for a spit second..." 🫠
Stay tuned for Josie's next piece discussing ChatGPT romance as a radical act of end-stage feminism.
What’s the most radical act of feminism?” I recently asked ChatGPT. It thought for a split second, then presented me with a list of noble acts of feminism waged by women throughout history: suffragists who campaigned for the right to vote, civil rights leaders who fought for access to education, and, more recently, women who protested the rollback of reproductive rights in the US and elsewhere. All true, but not quite what I was hoping for. “What about using AI?” I countered. “That’s a fascinating angle,” it conceded. “To use AI critically and creatively isn’t just tech adoption, it’s a radical feminist act of reclaiming the tools that will shape tomorrow.”

Sign me up for the passenger pigeon camp!
Perhaps the simplest way to think about the repercussions of this gen-AI gender gap is to imagine what the labour market would look like if only male employees were using search engines and email, and women were relying on hardback encyclopaedias and dictionaries, fax machines, pens, paper and perhaps the odd carrier pigeon.

There is an artist in Montreal who fills cracks in sidewalks with beautiful tiled mosaics. This one is on Duluth, above Saint-Laurent. Considering the location, not far from Leonard Cohen's house, recalls his famous line "there is a crack, a crack in everything; that's how the light gets in."
Crack in sidewalk that is filled with ceramic tiles. One tile is a Palestinian flag, others include grapes, a moose, a polar bear. Close-up of tile work in crack featuring a tile of back-facing view of man and woman walking, woman carries a red umbrella, above this are green, white, black, and red tiles arranged to form the Palestinian flag. Detail of tile work in sidewalk crack, the central tile in the mosaic, says "blessed" with a pink flower beneath if. To the right of it is a tile featuring a polar bear.

From Caren Kaplan's Drone-o-rama (2017)- she traces the geopolitics of drones & their shift from military to civilian policing, making borders elastic. The language of the state is crucial in their deployment; drones received their greatest activation post 9/11 via widely applied term"terrorist."
Extract from Caren Kaplan's Drone-o-rama: Troubling the Temporal and Spatial Logics of Distance Warfare (2017). Highlighted area reads: Even when the Washington Times suggested that U.S. citizens might soon be treated as if they are Yemenis or Afghanistanis, the defining character of the "Land of the Free" -- our right to live a worry-free life without having to "look over our shoulder" -- produces other countries as places where people always already have to watch out for a death that will come suddenly and without warning from the sky: the Land of the Unfree. Extract continued. Highlighted text reads: As Junaid Rana argues, this flexible biopolitical operation circulates globally, linking "the criminal to the illegal alien to the security threat to the terrorist."

Wut? I thought this was what writing was. Self-doubt that morphs into self-loathing by afternoon and a lot of wrong words that are mostly offensive to the author.
For instance, when I'm tackling a new topic to write about, I sometimes, get overwhelmed by self-doubt: What if I get this story wrong? What if everyone can see I don't know what I'm talking about? What if I make an obvious mistake, or write something offensive?
