If I’m ever taken out by state violence, please don’t let Shaun King do ANYTHING on behalf of me and/or my family.

update:

Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers. When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it. They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long. In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it. The flowers attract a standing army to our fields. We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.

I’m telling yall now, NYC is the place to be this summer No matter where u are Try to get to NYC this summer Just trust me on this

An American has tested positive for Ebola and exposed 6 others to the virus. The individual cannot be treated at the National Quarantine Unit in Nebraska because 18 of 20 beds are now occupied by Americans exposed to hantavirus.

And she was right.

Yes AND… We need to STOP our government from approving the structures from going up in the first place.

The US Department of Energy just mapped every data center in America. This is what the AI power grid looks like. The dots are data centers. Yellow = operating. Orange = under construction. White = planned. The lines are high-voltage transmission 735kV, 500kV, 345kV the arteries that move electrons from generators to compute loads. Look at the density along the East Coast, Northern Virginia to the Carolinas. Then look at Texas. Then Northern California. The largest circles on this map represent facilities demanding over 5,000 MW of power. Single campuses pulling more electricity than mid-sized cities. Northern Virginia is so dense the dots overlap. Data centers cluster on transmission corridors. Not because land is cheap because power is available. When the line is full, the next data center goes somewhere else. The grid is the bottleneck. Every orange dot is a power purchase agreement being negotiated right now. Every white dot is a utility commission filing, a gas plant approval, a pipeline capacity booking. The $66.8 bn NextEra-Dominion deal, Meta's 10 new gas plants in Louisiana, the Alaska LNG FID push they all trace back to maps that look like this. AI infrastructure is built in substations, on transmission corridors, and at the end of gas pipelines. Link in the comments, to see my stocks 👇

“The Arctic is currently warming at four times the rate experienced by the rest of the planet. But the Antarctic has started to catch up, so that it is already warming twice as quickly as the planet overall.” buff.ly/lXt4VwP No time to waste. #ActOnClimate #climate

Idc how hot it gets in the towns i remember the winter we had ! I’m taking this every time

please get comfortable with going to events, movies, concerts, coffee shops, museums by yourself so you don't miss out on life waiting on people.

Something very important that workers need to understand is that EVERY strike used to be illegal, and the cops would literally beat you with clubs and shoot you if you went on strike, and workers did it ANYWAY because they chose bravery over cowardice.

A white guy can do the worst thing ever and the headline will still open with a compliment

And it gets into a deeper issue about Black press and Black culture. This is a story about a powerful figure in Black culture (Kevin Hart) allegedly causing havoc in Black workers’ lives that HE hired. By deleting the story, where does that leave the ppl he apparently sued?

"When a community is quarantined, everyone stops working but expenses don’t cease. In a region built on day labor, weeks without income forces impossible choices, including whether to break quarantine to eat" It's in all of our best interests to prevent quarantine breaking. #UBI
