Your electricity bill is going up because data centers are raising demand, not because your utility started scaling out some renewables. Pass it on.

Why is my timeline suddenly full of people attacking an all-women space crew based solely on their appearance in a staged photo?
There’s a former Nasa rocket scientist and a civil rights activist in that group, but no, yeah, let’s all do some comedy Monday misogyny because there’s also a singer.

Adobe is backing the GOP attack on click-to-cancel.
Last year the FTC ruled that any subscription you sign up for with a click must be cancel-able with a click.
Now Republican politicians want to roll back this rule, and Adobe is supporting their push.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

I want us to study the history of resistance to slave catchers right now. I want us to study how slave catchers worked, how they were sanctioned, who paid them, and why they did what they did, right now. I want us to study the hyperlocal and networked ways slave catchers were impeded. Right now.
