So much of the ICE invasion’s harm here in Minneapolis is going to be diffuse, long-term, things that faded away quietly, things that •didn’t• happen, injuries barely seen and never tallied.
Long after the media spotlight is gone, we’re going to be repairing, rebuilding, trying to catch back up, trying to heal, trying to fill the holes these months left. It’s like a whole second pandemic for us.

Welsh charity buys more than 405 hectares for rewilding https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/feb/15/welsh-charity-buys-more-than-405-hectares-for-rewilding

I've been totally wrapped up in the daily grind for a while lately. Had a chance to catch up with my son in Minneapolis a couple days ago. The good news is that he's still safe and actually has some great opportunities coming his way. The heartbreaking news is that Operation Metro Surge pretty much convinced him to pursue only those opportunities that are going to allow him to leave the country after graduation.
I'm totally thrilled that he has his pick of several great int…

This has been the fastest, least planned trip to London since I was going to Kuwait regularly. Leaving tomorrow having been able to catch up with one friend, had two home-cooked meals by mom (see pic), and three restaurants. I didn’t even have time (or appetite) for a shawarma sandwich!

Rejected. Now the US has to play catch-up.

A couple of young fellers were fishing at their special pond off the
beaten track when out of the bushes jumped the Game Warden. Immediately,
one of the boys threw his rod down and started running through the woods
like the proverbial bat out of hell, and hot on his heels ran the Game
Warden. After about a half mile the fella stopped and stooped over with
his hands on his thighs, whooping and heaving to catch his breath as the
Game Warden finally caught up to …

It's a bit hard to find, but Dutch PBL Agency (@leefomgeving.bsky.social) estimates that the new coalition agreement has a positive effect on greenhouse gas emission reduction. Current policies would lead to -65% by 2040, and the new policies would bring that to -70 .. -75%.
However PBL doesn't tell us whether we'll catch up on the -55% goal for 2030 in the Climate Law; last year, it estimated that we're on a course for -50% (-45 .. 53%).

What’s behind the mass exodus at xAI?
Internal sources spoke with The Verge about the recent restructuring at xAI and the direction Elon Musk is taking the company.

@… I think so many people switched to distributed VCS that enthusiasm for contributing to SVN also dried up. Same reason for many SVN tools being sunset and integrations lacking.
So despite having years to catch up, there's no velocity to get there. The biggest new feature I've seen is shelving, but it's still experimental.

A lot of their strategies are like spammers and phishers: they’re kind of stupid, they’re kind of lazy, but they just spend all day trying — and they only have to catch somebody off guard once. And so while they lazy it up, we have to remain in a state of ceaseless vigilance…because as we all know from phishing scams, everybody slips up eventually.

Tharp launched the Chaotic Era in January, just days before Trump’s second inauguration.

Google is taking over your Gmail inbox with AI
Google’s new AI Inbox for Gmail uses AI to suggest personalized to-dos and topics to catch up on instead of showing you a list of emails.

While staying vigilant, we’re embracing the chance to catch our breath and to start healing. The city right now has a bit of the feeling of the days after a natural disaster: there is so much damage to repair. Thousands of people are still sheltering at home, understandably reluctant to go to work and/or school. Thousands are facing imminent eviction when March rent comes due.
There’s organizing around rent relief, talk of a rent strike. Food delivery is still in full swing. Mutual aid is not letting up.

Per replies, something I need to clarify:
We often use the word “neurotypical” to mean “neither autistic nor ADHD.” That might be useful as a shorthand, I guess, but it’s that mode of thought I’m specifically arguing against here: creating a single catch-all category defined as a negative, calling it “normal,” and assuming that it fits most people.
That doesn’t stand up to empirical scrutiny, and I don’t think it’s particularly healthy or helpful.

Very proud and excited to vote in the NDP leadership race today!!
This is not the first time I've voted in a Federal leadership race... more on that later but first, my choices! I considered only voting for two people, but I ended up filling in all 5 choices.
#1: Tanille Johnston @…
#2: Avi Lewis @…
#3: Heather McPherson
#4: Tony McQuail
#5: Rob Ashton
Why?
You might ask why I would publicize my choices. I don’t expect others to of course. It is a privilege and a right in Canada to exercise your democratic choice freely and privately, but I also think there is value in knowing how others voted.
#1 why Tanille? #electoralReform and proportional representation myself, I didn't just want to pick my top two. I wanted to make a statement on each of these candidates an influence each one.
To be blunt, Heather is #3 because she is the middle-of-the-road candidate. She is an excellent representative as MP and has gathered the support of other MPs including my own, but while I would be OK with her leadership, I would see her as a continuation of the status quo, and that is not what the NDP needs as a party, nor is it what Canada needs as a country.
We desperately need a vigorous and clear alternative to the Centre-but-mostly-Right Liberals, and the MAGA-wannabe Conservatives. The only way to do that is to catch the attention of Canadians and inspire them. I am not sure that Heather has the ability to do that, and if we continue with the same leadership crew in the NDP, I am not confident that the policy choices will be strong enough to inspire and attract Canadians.
That is why Tanille and Avi are far better options.
#4 Why Tony:

Tony is the real deal. Honestly, I would have loved to rank him higher. He represents the true life blood of rural, socially progressive, environmentally aware, Canadians. You should go check out his platform. I am so glad that he was able to participate fully in the race and we need his voice in the NDP.
#5 Why not Rob?
I have been an active member in my Union for more than 10 years. Unionism is The Way. Rob is representing a division within the union movement that claims that working people can't have jobs if the environment is put first. This is a lie.
We need union leaders that look to the future and speak honestly to people. We need union leaders who are genuinely progressive, not ready to do the bidding of corporate masters to the benefit of a few.
Working people need honesty, and when an industry is on decline, a clear path to new, excellent, union, jobs!
