Via Lee Hedgepeth and Inside Climate News: For months, Fenn Church fought Alabama Power's efforts to secure access to his property via eminent domain for a transmission line. He won in lower court. Then the Alabama Supreme Court intervened. https://ow.ly/ItgJ51018Wt

For everybody that attended Eclipse this year, I love you all and hope you have a safe trip home. Team DATA has sent out a feedback form! Please do them a favor and fill it out and share it around so we can learn all we can to make every event even better. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Unpacking shit is easy. You just open up what happened and take out the parts and look at them. The hard work is finding a new place for those pieces to go. It helps to remember every day we all become a new person built out of our old life. You are always new. And the sun will eventually rise.
The single best piece of advice I’ve ever been given on processing trauma: “Don’t forget if you unpack something you have to actually put it somewhere. Otherwise it’s still taking up just as much space in your mind.”

If Americans need our little southern recipe for how to defeat fascism it goes like this: - Put people in the streets by standing for popular demands (wages, healthcare, public services) - Do not engage with fascists online - Do not succumb to doomsayers or media-driven narratives - Be happy
Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

I’m sick of headlines treating these forays as something done independently. No. Anthropic created it. Anthropic did this. And they should be held to account, not some supposedly autonomous AI www.reuters.com/world/us/ant...
Getting to spend time meeting and talking with amazing people even after all the tourneys wrap up is why I can never leave this whole scene. Much love to everyone @nightsclimax.bsky.social Long live the night. <3

NEW: A week after ProPublica reported how organized crime is stealing food stamp benefits — aided by the government’s refusal to update benefit-card technology — the Department of Agriculture announced plans to adopt more secure cards with microchips.

This is profoundly stupid. Information like hitboxes and frame data for fighting games should be free (and ideally built into base games) Free the frame data Capcom
ultimateframedata.com/sf6/ it's really bad. UFD just had gifs of SF6 moves with hitboxes visible. they're claiming that data extraction like this is against their TOS. probably older games are safe but if they keep pressing this with SF6 i can't imagine many sites will want to host capcom resources

we should all be pissed off at this btw. if not because sex work is legitimate work and should be treated with respect, then because you should be concerned at attempts to gentrify online spaces as pretext to court investors and force out minorities so those spaces can become part of a portfolio.

listening to Breathe again
interviewer: so what's your process like 90s era The Prodigy: well first we say to each other "these drum samples are good" interviewer: mmhm the prodigy: and then we say "but what if they were even better" interviewer: right the prodigy: do that 12 times then we have a song

See now we're fucking talking One of the only weapons we wield in this fight is our money and attendance, and if everyone involved with an event says "I'm not going unless you stop using AI" there's only two outcomes: *No AI or No Convention* Conventions are made by and for the community
