Hmmmm getting ideas here 🤔
The lesson from Serbia is that when no party represents the people, you can build your own alternative even if it takes years of community assemblies, organizing and resistance to severe state repression. Democracy and justice are fragile; it takes the utmost strength to keep them alive.

Why is Musk willing to damage his brand and Starlink’s business to protect Russian data centres?
Musk said he restricted Starlink in Ukraine- causing fast moving drones to lose connectivity - and that he had every right to do so because of some terms of service or contract that he didn't show us. (He didn't address suddenly doing this with no warning to Kyiv.) www.cnbc.com/2026/10/24/u...

Finland orders Google to stop work on the two data centres after Google cut down a forest without authorization, leading to hungry wolves wandering into nearby Finnish villages. www.bbc.com/news/article...
“Objectivity” in journalism today has come to mean implicit alignment with the values of colonialism, capitalism, and the patriarchy. Journalists who refuse get accused of ‘bias’.
A bunch of people on Reddit condemn the Halifax Examiner (and me personally) for being "biased." Of course we're biased — everyone is biased. These criticisms might be conversation starters if they explained what they think our bias is, but just saying "biased" doesn't go anywhere.

First, NS Premier Tim Houston signed a “one project, one review” agreement with Ottawa, claiming provincial environmental assessments were “world class,” so federal impact assessments were not needed. Which is garbage and a giant leap backwards. And now … www.halifaxexaminer.ca/dismantling-...

An adviser to the Canadian PM said that one of the purposes of data centres is to create a market for fracked gas..
Data centers solve two big problems for Permian oil drillers: excesses of water and fossil gas. Historically they've flared the fracked gas and injected the produced water into the ground, causing earthquakes. Now they expect data centers will burn all the gas and use the water for cooling.
For all the women and non-white people used to working twice as hard, this ad feels like a warning.
The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

I see a direct line from roughing up the 80-year-old man in Wolfville to evicting Joan Baxter and Jennifer Henderson from the EverWind announcement to vilifying Paul Wonzey. It's all about delegitimizing dissent.
