I'd really love to see some accountability and consequences, but I fear establishment Dems will get wishy washy when it's time for retribution. It's a rough year (decade) to deal with SA trauma, and all I my furious heart wants is many slicings and beheadings.

This is how agenda setting and narrative work. Notice how the frame, in graf 4, shifts to "just eight days before Election Day". So instead a focus on the 50-page report, we get 6 grafs w/most of them tying report to Dems trying to win an election. Fascinating stuff! www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/u...

Here’s something you should know about minks: They have lungs and airways remarkably similar on a cellular level to those of people. They’ve spread flus and infected humans before with COVID-19. Right now, bird flu is spreading on a Utah farm filled with thousands of them… 🧵

‘Pure arrogance’: anger in Finland as Google illegally fells 250,000 trees for datacentre

theguardian.com‘Pure arrogance’: anger in Finland as Google illegally fells 250,000 trees for datacentreCompany ordered to stop work at two sites in country, which has found itself at forefront of tech firms’ latest push Behind a wire fence lies a vast gaping wound of earth. Before Google’s arrival a few months ago, an estimated quarter of a million trees occupied the 330 hectares (815 acres) of forest near the town of Muhos in rural northern Finland. Now they are all gone. After the tech company illegally stripped the entire area to build a datacentre – taking even the top soil with it – all that remains is a vast expanse of mud indented with the trail marks of machinery, puddles and mounds of earth, roots and branches. Residents say that brown water flowing off the site is going into a stream that feeds the Oulujoki River. Continue reading...
