Trump threats, U.S. troop build-up raise specter of battle for Hormuz
A surge of additional U.S. forces to the Middle East and Donald Trump’s threat to “obliterate” Iran’s energy infrastructure
have set the stage for what U.S. and Israeli security officials increasingly see as the war’s dramatic escalation:
a battle for control of the Strait of Hormuz and key energy installations.
A contingent of 4,500 U.S. sailors and Marines is heading to the Middle East,

Trump threats, U.S. troop build-up raise specter of battle for Hormuz
Israelis said securing the strait for energy shipments could become the war’s main goal now that regime change and ending Iran’s ability to obtain a nuclear weapon seem out of reach.

A wonderful recent 99 Percent Invisible episode. I obviously learned my urbanism from Sesame Street (and, without knowing it, Jane Jacobs). My neighborhood could use a little more sidewalk ballet, though fortunately we're not really plagued by Ronald Grump.

U Is for Urbanism - 99% Invisible
For over half a century, millions of children have learned their ABCs and 123s from Sesame Street. But the beloved show has been teaching something else entirely… a quiet lesson in what makes a great neighborhood. “I had a lot of people reach out and say they think this is why they always wanted to

Back of the envelope calculation was that it would take about a 1/4 hectare of spekboom to offset the carbon emissions of my 2010 Honda Jazz.
Given that it grows in fairly crummy soil, and really doesn't need a lot of care, again back of the envelope, the cost came to a few thousand rand per month. A lot of money, but not crazy, out of reach expensive.
Nice to see someone else is trying to scale this insight -

We had our dryer vent blown out yesterday. Not quite 3 years since the last time. Our vent’s only got about a 20-25 foot reach, and horizontal, but it still coughed up about a basketball-sized bolus of lint dust. If you have a dryer in your home, when was the last time you cleaned it out, or had it done? Distinct fire hazard as it fills up. It’ll also work more efficiently afterwards. #PSA

We have a revolutionary moment in our hands. I cannot express strongly enough how important it is to seize this moment.
We must *build* an alternative society, starting by drawing people in and giving them opportunities to create a better future. We cannot win with logical arguments, because people are not logical. We must demonstrate, through experience, what we mean when we talk about liberation, autonomy, and mutual aid. We must create the new world in the shell of the old, here and now, so people can understand what it is we are fighting for. This is our best opportunity, right now, to reach out while the window is wide open.
If we miss this opportunity, we may not get another.

It’s not hard to see why ICE has expanded its reach beyond the Twin Cities.
The qualities that have hindered ICE’s operation in Minneapolis and St. Paul
— density and walkability; a large, almost exclusively left-of-center population
— are absent here.
In Minneapolis, I saw patrollers on nearly every street corner.
It’s easy to gather for protests or come together to organize a mutual aid network.

The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

Zelenskyy says US gave Ukraine and Russia a June deadline to reach agreement to end war
The U.S. has given Ukraine and Russia a June deadline to reach a peace deal, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He said the U.S. plans to pressure both sides to meet this timeline. Zelenskyy spoke to reporters on Friday, with comments released on Saturday. Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure have forced nuclear power plants to cut output. Over 400 drones and about 40 missiles targeted the energy grid. The strikes have increased power deficits, leading to extended outages…

Deforestation is drying out the Amazon rainforest faster than previously thought #Amazon

Deforestation is drying out the Amazon rainforest faster than previously thought
Deforestation is having a more devastating effect on the Amazon rainforest than earlier data suggested. While cutting down large swaths of trees destroys vital habitats, it also harms the region's ability to generate its own rainfall. According to a new study published in the journal Nature, the Amazon could reach a tipping point and experience major forest dieback (where large areas of the rainforest dry out and turn into a savanna) sooner than previously thought.

If your stated goal is to make computing into a “utility” (aka subscription) you can only obtain from Big Tech and if your entire industry is comprised of rentiers, it makes perfect sense to also make actually owning a general computing device as expensive as possible.
As far as Big Tech is concerned, this is a feature, not a bug.
It’s capitalists acquiring capital and pricing it out of the reach of those they want to make dependent on them.
Also: fuck these people.

Health care, new cars and new homes feel unaffordable to most Americans,
a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll shows.

Most Americans say that they can afford basic necessities like their current housing costs, groceries, utilities and gasoline.
But large numbers across income levels also say larger expenses and the cost of things associated with an enjoyable life
— including taking a weeklong vacation
— are out of reach.
Overall, 53 percent of adults say…
