Massive leak at confirms what we have all known for years, just how much is tracked, stored, and monetized.

Even clearer now how Chrome tracks and reports EVERYTHING you do. For heavens' sake delete it now and move to Firefox

Also they've outright lied for years about their data collection and search practices.

Looks like 'Don't be evil' wasn't enough. ;)

The distinct and noticeable decline in bird population this year is painful

We are living through the silent spring and cannot notice because the noise of our civilization is too great.

"I was not aware that my wife was advocating for the overthrow of the government, but when I found out, I asked if she could do so less blatantly.

So I'm not going to recuse because that would be unfair to insurrectionists. And also against the current system of justice -- which my wife wants to overthrow."

Hearing historical records from baseball’s negro leagues are finally incorporated into MLB stats really makes me want to stream an all-sports talk radio station from some rural town today just to hear the mental gymnastics the hosts will go through to say why it’s somehow bad while also trying not to sound totally racist to listeners.

Major League Baseball wasn't desegregated to a bare minimum of a single Black player on the roster of every team for one game until Elijah Green debuted on July 21, 1959.

Major League Baseball didn't have a Black umpire work a game until Emmett Ashford debuted on April 11, 1966.

Major League Baseball didn't have a single Black manager lead a team until Frank Robinson debuted at the helm on April 8, 1975.

MLB would like fans to forget the pace of progress. Negro Leagues stats are a token move.

An Arizona National Guard member who teaches music at a public high school is reportedly involved with multiple active neo-Nazi groups.

Oh, and her husband? According to this report, he stabbed a Latino teenager to death in 2006 while wearing a swastika armband and combat boots.

Wild article all around.

Just to be explicitly clear.

After Israel condemned the ICC for accusing them of deliberately targeting civilians, Israel forced Palestinians into a safe zone where they wouldn't be bombed—then Israel bombed & killed 32 children in that safe zone.

They burned Palestinians alive. On purpose.

ICC: Prosecute these war crimes.

Remember on Tuesday how Biden said it was preposterous that Israel is accused of committing war crimes? On Sunday Israel bombed a refugee camp they ordered everyone to move to which removes all doubt.

This is a war crime and it is fucked up nothing will come of it. Netanyahu will continue his genocide plans until there’s no one left. It’s totally fucked that the US continues to send money and bombs to this leader.

We passed an anti-price gouging law in Portland years ago that is simple and brilliant.

Every store inside the airport must sell items at the same price they’d be in a normal store inside city limits.

It’s a bit of a shock when you buy a bottle of water there for $2, then on your return trip it’s $8 somewhere else.

Every airport in every city should have this law.

A heartbreaking moment that was saved by an SS photographer at Auschwitz II-Birkenau during the deportations of Hungarian Jews. It was taken 80 years ago, most likely in late May 1944. A little child finds a dandelion in the grass and is handing it or showing it to an older boy.

All the people in this picture had already gone through the arrival selection and were awaiting to be murdered in a gas chamber. They were killed shortly after.

The people outraged over the fabricated story of 40 beheaded babies last October seem to have nothing to say about the horrifying reality of beheaded Palestinian babies in Rafah happening right now & committed by the Israeli military.

Deadly hypocrisy beyond the pale of humanity. I’m beyond disgusted at our failed media and politics not just for letting this happen, but for enabling it and funding it.

A lot of people who spent the last 10 years telling us that respect for the flag was the most important thing in the world suddenly don’t want us to care about who flies what flags how, I notice.
