So.. This is what has been happening recently:

• Climate breakdown tripled death toll in Europe’s June heatwave, study finds

• Accelerated glacial melt and monsoon rains trigger deadly floods in Pakistan

• French warned of high-risk summer for wildfires as Marseille blaze contained

-Texas flooding death toll climbs to 119 as search for more people continues

• Thousands meet their MPs to show huge demand for climate action

... and this is what politicians are talking about when they meet 🤦

This is what the NY Times chose to highlight from the Netanyahu/Trump meeting, compared to Al Jazeera.

You decide which is the important news.

I love how smart these AI technologies are. They understand that "bigger" for cities can be ambiguous, refer to either the population or the area. It's also great that it's showing the sources in the upper corner, and displaying the basic facts.

Small minus on consistency and correctness, but other than that, really a great answer.

and yes, nested GLX also works under wayback:

it's been a couple weeks of wayback now, and we've made a lot of progress... probably because we sit around talking about fixing bugs rather than whether the parents of transgender children should face stochastic terrorism

I THINK THE SOIL IS WHAT QUANTUM "COMPUTING" PRETENDS TO BE!

EXTREME PARALLEL INFORMATION PROCESSING!

THE SOIL IS A COMPLEX COMMUNICATION NETWORK WHICH EXISTS IN AN INFORMATION SPACE THAT COMPARES FAVORABLY WITH HILBERT SPACE!

THE SOIL IS ALIVE AND AWAKE AND WE ARE CONNECTED TO IT!

SETI IS POINTED THE WRONG WAY!

LOOK DOWN!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Farmworkers in California are organizing a strike, Huelga para la Dignidad, Strike for Dignity.

Their demands include immediate citizenship and protections for farmworkers across the country, and an end to the raids, abductions, and deportations.

Their calls to action to us include not buying produce during the strike and spreading the word.

Fund to support the workers and their families: bit.ly/farmer-fund

Laura Loomer is an advisor to Trump, and she's quite clear that what's going on is not "deporting criminal aliens" but the ethnic cleansing of all 65 million Latinos in the US. In fact she's pretty clear she wants this to be the genocide of the US Latino population.

I'm not sure many people recognize we're already a few lines into the "first they came for the..." poem. But we are.

dead, but soon revived
within these walls even death can die

Don't judge the tech bros on how cringeworthy or clumsy they are. Judge them on their intent

Our reactions to things like this are "hey everyone, this is really dumb. Lol"

It feels good to speak on the ugliness and stupidity and get affirmation others also see how fucked up it is

But there is no protection in that, it's a momentary salve, it doesn't make it go away

Begin to think about how we fight what is coming

Stop laughing. Start fighting

Finally, some good political news! The gender-affirming care ban has been struck from the budget bill by the Senate parliamentarian.

Since R's now need 60 votes to make that provision happen, it's probably dead in the water.
