We'll fight, not out of spite
For someone must stand up for what's right
'Cause where there's a man who has no voice
There ours shall go singing
My hands are small, I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own and
I am never broken
For someone must stand up for what's right
'Cause where there's a man who has no voice
There ours shall go singing
My hands are small, I know
But they're not yours, they are my own

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

"political violence is never acceptable," is a phrase you don't hear politicians say after cops beat the shit out of peaceful demonstrators

Google image searches have been… less than useful, so I’d not used it in a while. I saw this cheesy AI image supposedly of Stephen Hillenburg, drawing SpongeBob, along with an ‘inspirational biography.’
Just curious, I tried a search,
and, Oh my!😳
I took a screenshot of the results…

As tech firms keep adding the largest and most compute-intensive AI models into more and more aspects of our digital lives, they are increasingly dependent on a growing share of existing energy and natural resources, leading to rising costs for everyone else, write Sasha Luccioni and Yacine Jernite.

AI is the apotheosis of the Dunning-Kruger effect and some day (not today), y'all are going to learn that the hard way, maybe in a Michael Crichton-esque Gell-Mann amnesia-awakening moment. Maybe.
In its push for “efficiency,” DOGE has leaned increasingly on AI—regardless of whether it makes any sense. And it's using it as an imperfect means to destructive ends, @brbarrett.bsky.social writes.

Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this.

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism.
So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1

NEW: Extraordinary drone footage from Pacific Palisades in LA showing hundreds of homes burned to the ground.
The death toll has now risen to five and damage is already estimated at over $50 billion.
This is likely to be the costliest fire in US history.

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
