Roads can become more dangerous on hot days—especially for pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists
During heat waves, everyday life tends to feel more difficult than on an average day. Travel and daily movement are no exception.

"Actuellement, l'Europe est en train de se suicider par peur de la mort. Au lieu d'avoir peur de tout, l'Europe devrait partir de deux hypothèses certes discutables : la Russie est trop faible pour conquérir l'Europe, et les États-Unis sont trop faibles pour dominer le monde."

Minneapolis Public Schools closed schools because they deemed it too dangerous for students to be there on Thu and Fri.
Tomorrow morning, students go back to school. My question: what’s changed? Is it not still dangerous?

When "self-driving" cars were first getting some hype back in ~2015 or so, I told people who asked me that I didn't think they'd be safe, and that I wished the same money were being invested in driver-assistance systems instead.
At the time, advocates were claiming that self-driving cars would be safer than human drivers.
We now have both self-driving cars and some nifty new driver assistance things, and it turns out that the self-driving cars are in fact being developed by corporations whose attention to the bottom line results in danger to others on the road pretty regularly. I don't actually have stats here for whether they're "safer than human drivers" or not, but the opportunity for one bad software update to make *all* self-driving cars dangerous at once kinda makes me doubt that.
Here's an example of Waymo cars getting "more aggressive" as they try to balance between being too timid and obstructing traffic (including emergency vehicles) and being too dangerous:
https://archive.ph/JJuGv
Here's another example of passing stopped schoolbusses leading to a software recall:
https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/News/waymo-issue-voluntary-software-recall-after-close-calls/story?id=128207776
In the first article, Waymo claims 91% fewer serious accidents per mile. Obviously an independent audit would be actually trustworthy, but even if we take that claim at face value, it's meaningless if an update tomorrow causes 100,000 accidents.
Note that they could be using better engineering practices, and the fact that they aren't shows that they don't care enough about the risks. They could be deploying new software versions incrementally and slowly, letting new versions rack up lots of miles only on a few vehicles before pushing them to a fleet. The should also have the equivalent of a simulation unit test for "schoolbus is stopped, what do?" and if a software version fails that test, it doesn't make it to the fleet. Clearly they don't have that.
I feel pretty vindicated in my earlier prediction that this tech is a bad idea in the hands of the current advocates.

So, I could pay to have a dangerous tree removed ($9000), or I could gamble my family’s life and have it fall on my property and then have insurance cover it.
Hmm... choices. Can I just play video games. 🤔

People are getting really confused about this. When I say “pretext,” I don’t mean for individual ICE officers. I mean that the Trump regime still (!!) does not have enough popular support and political cover to cross certain lines. They’re finding themselves genuinely stymied by federal courts and state govs, Congress is getting less (not more!) quiescent, they’re finding themselves unable to control the press, and popular support is collapsing.
Saying “the situation is already extremely dire” is true and important. Saying “they’ve already achieved total authoritarian control” is wrong, dangerous, and an invitation to give up when we most need people active.

It's funny how "AI" tools are simulteanously marketed as "agents" that can run fully in the background and do stuff but whenever they do something bad it's the user at fault for not supervising the software that doesn't work.
Even when it’s directly used and the user has the chance to review everything—it’s extremely dangerous, especially at tasks it is doing fine like 95% of the time and/or when the bad things are only subtly wrong.
Imagine other tools being like this, like a steering wheel that turns the car 95 out of a 100 times. 2% of the time it steers into the other direction. 3% of the time it steers 5x as much as normally.

What's especially interesting, and dangerous to capitalism, is that there are a lot of opportunities that come out of this.
Corporations are destroying everything. We actually don't need them. We can build mutual aid networks, guerilla gardening, library socialism... When we stop with consumerism, we can find the joy in actually living, creating, being a creative human rather than simply a consumer. With a bit of momentum we can bend the system to our will. With enough momentum we can shatter it completely and free ourselves from this trap.
Things can go a lot of different ways. I'm excited to see how things go.
Edit:
I'm specifically excited about this...

Was there a massive leak of a dangerous greenhouse gas in Iceland🇮🇸 in 2011 - or was it just a data📈 reporting error? European emission databases show that the Norðuršl aluminium factory🏭 in Iceland released 60 tons of SF₆ in 2011 — but no such emissions in any other year. It's so much that it is hard to believe this really happened. And that is not the only odd thing I found in emission databases.

Errors and Inconsistencies in European Emission Data
Factories that suddenly have emissions a thousand times lower than before, unexplained data gaps, and inconsistent CO₂ emissions from different data sources are some of the issues one finds when having a closer look at the European Union's emission databases.

Wildfires are polluting the air far more than thought
Scientists have discovered that wildfires release far more air-polluting gases than previously estimated. Many of these hidden emissions can transform into fine particles that are dangerous to breathe. The study shows wildfire pollution rivals human-made emissions in some parts of the world. This helps explain why wildfire smoke can linger and worsen air quality long after the flames are gone.

MIT study shows high-fat diets give liver cancer a dangerous head start
A high-fat diet does more than overload the liver with fat. New research from MIT shows that prolonged exposure to fatty foods can push liver cells into a survival mode that quietly raises the risk of cancer. Faced with ongoing metabolic stress, these cells abandon their normal roles and revert to a more primitive state that helps them endure harsh conditions. Over time, that shift leaves the liver less functional and far more vulnerable to tumor formation, helping explain why fatty liver disea…

Today we have more information than any civilization in history.
But aside from Wikipedia, we've organized the sum total of our collective knowledge into formats optimized for making people angry at strangers in pursuit of private …

The Case for Blogging in the Ruins

The Catholic Church condemned it, Diderot's collaborators abandoned him, his publisher secretly censored entries behind his back, and he worked

Help us keep up the fight — Inequality Media Civic Action
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most dangerous administration in a lifetime. We're here to push back and empower the resistance.

The Unborn Child Protection Act.

But the new administration scrapped those carefully laid plans in favor of haphazard downsizing.
In January, more than 600 people worked in communications offices spread across the NIH.
Today, there are fewer than 100.
Officials, including Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., justified the deep cuts as…

Federal research agencies are pulling back from fostering public discussions about science after the hollowing out of government communications offices.

The Food and Drug Administration rarely uses its authority to pull dangerous medical devices off the market
and is so poorly staffed that it’s sometimes unable to make sure companies are taking critical steps to protect patients during health emergencies,
according to a new report by the Government Accountability Office.
The inquiry by the congressional watchdog was requested nearly two years ago by top members of the Senate
in the wake of an investigation about the 2…

Since the Trump administration launched high-intensity immigration sweeps this year,
federal agents have routinely countered protestors using crowd control weapons
— rubber bullets, flash-bang grenades, tear gas and pepper balls.
