the picture of the stuffed animal sticking out of the glove compartment just inches away from the blood spattered dashboard is gonna be one of those images that haunts me forever. even when your whole job is looking at the horrors on purpose and you get good at forgetting, some things are seared in.

Building a City from Scratch: An Introduction to Urban Planning Through Manukau Ranges. #CitiesSkylines2
From Blueprint to a Living Metropolis Have you ever wondered why your home is on one side of town and the factories are on the other? Or why the subway entrance is precisely on that corner?…

Building a City from Scratch: An Introduction to Urban Planning Through Manukau Ranges. #CitiesSkylines2
From Blueprint to a Living Metropolis Have you ever wondered why your home is on one side of town and the factories are on the other? Or why the subway entrance is precisely on that corner? These are not accidents; they are the result of urban planning, a discipline of deliberate choices that shape our daily lives. Building a city is one of humanity's most complex and fascinating endeavours—an act of creation on a massive scale requiring foresight, strategy, and adaptation.

Outskirts of Australian cities at risk of catastrophic fires on scale of deadly LA blazes, study finds
At least 6.9 million residents on Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Adelaide, Perth and Hobart fringes exposed as dry summer follows years of vegetation growth

Many Australian cities share common traits that made the deadly 2025 Los Angeles fires so destructive, according to analysis into whether a similar disaster could occur here in future.
At least 6.9 million Australians living on the fringes of capital cities were at risk, according to a report by the Climate Council and Emergency Leaders for Climate Action, challenging assumptions that bushfires are a regional or rural concern.

My favorite part of the US doing horrible shit is every time it happens there is a segment of the population who says "this isn't who we are!" As though they are 12 years old.

We're looking at multiple days of 45° and a slight reprieve of 37° on Fri. I've been anxious as hell about it for days. Being in a small town there are not really any options for cool places other than stay home, so I'm just hoping my air con and fans are enough.

This is spot on re why media outlets are being dazzled / treating responses as apologies etc. But imo the tech angle is not ultimately obscurant: Xai built community-choking data centres to enable ultra-fast abuse gen, journos need to understand that!

I think the AI angle of this is obscurant. It doesn’t matter that grok is “an AI” whatever you take that to mean. Suppose X hired a team of guys to photoshop the clothes off of women and children whenever anyone asks. That’s functionally identical what happening here. It’s not complicated.
A functional country would shut Grok down permanently. Like, immediately. Right now. Last week. Whatever. Just flip the switch. Obviously.

Big oil’s dirty secret in Iraq
Gas flaring is remarkably high in Iraq. The impact this has had on ordinary people and the planet has been obscured. Until now.

Just to restate this very clearly: the fossil fuel industry isn't a normal business. They are powerful enough to draw subsidies and other forms of gov't intervention for otherwise unprofitable ventures.
They are just absurdly good at this.

One way of understanding this is that militaries do not run on renewables or EVs. More conflict = more oil.
The fossil fuel companies are insisting they're not interested in increasing oil extraction in Venezuela but their investors / shareholders don't seem to believe them
