The beginnings of a list:
"The biggest perpetrators were energy companies like Shell, Exxon Mobil, and Chevron, which were able to enjoy massive profits last year"
If you can find any way to go electric, use petrol less, ride a bike, walk, use a train, avoid a plane, etc, go for it. Prolly the petrol corps won't notice your individual actions, but the carbon you'll keep out of the atmosphere might just help to keep our planet's ecosphere viable.
The renaming of military 'posts' to non-Confederate names is already in progress for some time now. The removal of the monument from Arlington is part of that process.
Did you read the article: "Virginia’s governor, Glenn Youngkin, disagrees with the decision and plans to move the monument to the New Market battlefield state historical park in the Shenandoah Valley..."
Wow! This sifting AI can do, in conjunction with bench top experimentation makes for a whole new game in drug discovery. From approx 39,000 substances for training the model, to 12 million compounds screened, to reveal 280 likely compounds, then off to the lab, and they found 2 promising candidates. Talk about finding a (2) needles in a hundred acres of haystacks!!
I’m still trying to de-Google my life, little by little. I don’t trust Bing for similar reasons. DDG is feeling shady of late. What’s the search engine you all recommend that I can inject into my daily life? Is there perhaps a search engine that is focused on code, or have we just all moved on to AI for searching?...
May 12, 2023 Reuters article "No deal between DuckDuckGo and Microsoft to track users online" https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL1N3792HE/
"Independent experts say that DuckDuckGo blocks known tracking scripts from loading to prevent vulnerable personal identifiers from being exposed, including Microsoft-owned scripts. A separate partnership with Microsoft for advertising on DuckDuckGo’s search results page is limited to ad placements, not tracking users or building profiles, a DuckDuckGo spokesperson said."
Further, "Users sharing the headline, “Google Lite: DuckDuckGo Signs Secret Deal with Bill Gates to Track Users Online” in April 2023 can be seen (here) and (here).
The headline belonged to a story that first appeared on NewsPunch on May 25, 2022 (here), which now redirects to The People’s Voice (the two are affiliated) (here) (here).
The original article was published before DuckDuckGo eliminated, in August 2022, an exception that did permit some Microsoft-owned tracking scripts on websites to send data to Microsoft."

Navarro “continues to possess Presidential records that have not been produced to their rightful owner, the United States,” U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly wrote on Tuesday.
“We have to realize it’s not a given that we are in peace. And that’s why we [Nato forces] are preparing for a conflict with Russia," said Lieutenant Admiral Rob Bauer, Chair of the NATO Military Committee.
IMHO Russia has been doing all they can through subversion, mis-information, efforts as destablilization, sowing seeds of distrust in elections, and democratic government, etc, etc, which is to say they are already "at war" with NATO, they just don't really want NATO and aligned countries to know and act on that fact.

I was given some apricot chutney, and it was so delicious I'm inspired to make some myself. I've done lactofermented things like hot sauce, kraut and kimchi. So I'm curious to access the Group Mind: What are your lactofermented chutney recipes, and tips for lactofermentation? :-D
Beautiful!! I'll have some free time in the next couple weeks, and hope to get some lacto-chutney going. I'll post something here, soon. Pic is my hot sauce from the past September - Habanero, Cayenne, Yellow Hots, garlic, cumin seed, and a 5% brine. After it was done bubbling I puree'd it along with some more garlic. It was so good! And I made enough to give some to friends, too. :-)
