This is BIG. After spending over $1 BILLION on the purchase of multiple commercial warehouses that ICE planned to convert into the largest jails/prisons in the nation, ICE is now largely abandoning the idea and will aim to sell off multiple warehouses at a loss.

NEW — I wanted to know if ICE’s newly uncovered plan to offload seven of the 11 concentration camp warehouses was actually a big deal, so I went straight to the expert: Michael Wriston of @projectsaltbox.com, which has been tracking these warehouses every step of the way. Our full convo here:

I figured living next to an ai data center would be harmful, but I didn’t expect it to be a literal Analog Horror Noise Generator

union person@junlper.beer

this is why there’s been mass revolt and opposition to data centers being built in communities. it is genuinely a health hazard to live this close to something emitting this much sound. these need to stop being built

Two recent studies have re-examined risk of birds colliding with rotor blades of wind turbines. Research found that there was not a single collision. "The results from Aberdeen Bay show that modern offshore wind farms can be operated with low risk to wildlife." www.euronews.com/2026/04/11/t...

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social

I know a lot of our political press corps think of themselves as critical of Trump but they are as much a pillar of his cult as his actual supporter base, because they continuously reinforce the main tenet of Trumpism, that only Trump and his will matters, and our job is to watch him make decisions.

Whatever happens, this is a deeply shameful episode in American history that will leave a permanent stain on the country. Repeatedly vowing to commit war crimes against millions of innocent civilians is beyond the pale.

People need to remember, too, that these are the *successful* authors. The ones who are traditionally published trade authors. Those trying to break in, those published once and then couldn't get another contract, self-published authors and so on are not included. This is the top 1% of authors.

Lebanon is 33% Christian. Israel is illegally invading Lebanon & bombing Christian villages. Moreover, Israel has warned Lebanese Christians & Druze to forbid any Muslim from hiding in their homes & Israeli troops are now hunting for Muslims hiding in attics of Christians. These Are War Crimes.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

As a lady who has done years of therapy & writing about trauma & the self & politics & social science, it is ONLY through the *struggle* of writing that anything new is ever born. The notion that you give AI all your files and it will "know you" and "develop" your ideas makes me profoundly sad.

www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/o... This Ezra Klein piece on how the adopters are using— being used by?— LLMs is horrifying. It hardens my resistance to ever turning one of these toys on at the same time that it makes me more sure that I'm going to be completely out of step and behind as a result.
