New research reveals repeated flooding is altering Florida freshwater resources
Heavy rains causing repeated river flood intrusions into Florida's freshwater springs are changing the function of the clear natural resource. Findings from University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) researchers Paul Donsky and Matt Cohen reveal that these intrusions can cause flow reversal, worsening already present problems.

The condition of the economy of the Russian Federation is now more complicated than in recent years
Due to a strong ruble, high interest rates, shortage of labor resources and budget restrictions,

You are looking for information on a specific subject but can only use one of those two resources. What's your pick?

It's also worth thinking about interpersonal conflict between marginalized people with different experiences. Who mediates? How? How do you account for your existing biases when mediating people with different experiences of oppression than your own?
Practice can help answer those questions before you have to "do it live." I'd personally love resources on this, because I had to "do it live" as an organizer, and that was awful.

Amid a contentious feud with Pope Leo XIV regarding U.S. military interventions over the past several months,
including the war in Iran,
the Trump administration has
⚠️ended an $11 million contract with the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami.
The contract through the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) gave funds to the organization to provide housing and other resources for migrant childrenwho entered the country without parents or adult family members.

"Pesticides from flea treatments and sheep dips found at damaging levels in Welsh rivers"
#UK #UnitedKingdom #Wales

Pesticides from flea treatments and sheep dips found at damaging levels in Welsh rivers
Pesticides used in pet flea treatments occur widely in Welsh rivers and were detected in over three quarters of river water samples, finds new research by Cardiff University and Natural Resources Wales. The study found that two pesticides from flea treatments, imidacloprid and fipronil, exceeded safe levels in almost half of the samples from urban locations.

Logistics in the technical sense (part of supply chain management) is a subset of logistics in the vernacular sense ("the handling of the details of an operation"). You can explore this second and more general sense, and thereby build an understanding of the first and more technical sense, by iteratively asking the question, "how does one make that happen" and follow questions from there.
A big part of organizing is figuring out the (vernacular) logistics (and helping others figure it out). You want to organize a seed swap? Ok. How does one make that happen? Well, you need seeds, people, a place, and perhaps a time. How does one make that happen? You can forage seeds or you can buy seeds for a garden and swap extras. How do you get people to come? Well, figure out where you want people to come from and choose an accessible place. What's the easiest thing to do? Get people from your neighborhood. How does one make that happen? Well, maybe put up flyers. How does one make that happen? Well, print them on your printer if you have one, or at a library, then go post them up. Etc.
Keep asking questions until you either find a roadblock that you can't find a way around, or you find things you can do yourself (one of those things you can do yourself is asking friends to help).
If you practice the exercise of thinking about how things happen, you can start to find things that you can do yourself. You can start to understand what exists now, and you can imagine what's possible. By thinking about logistics, you can figure out how to replace things when they collapse or are dismantled. You can also identify things that can't easily be replaced, and try to figure out alternatives.
This practice is good for figuring out how to build, but it can also be a valuable practice for figuring out how to resist. Concentration camps and ethnic cleansing also require logistics. Mass displacement means moving people. How does one do that? People are generally going to be moved in planes or buses. How does one do that? Well, people get loaded on to planes or buses in specific places. Planes and buses need fuel. Planes are fueled at their airports, which may well be the same places where people are loaded on to them. There is a fuel depo and a fuel truck that makes flying people out of a specific place possible. How does the fuel get to that fuel depo? Well, that fuel is probably also delivered by truck. Someone drives those trucks. Someone fuels those planes. Someone clears the planes for takeoff. Someone fuels those busses. Someone drives those busses. And so on.
Logistics networks can be highly complex. The more complex the operation, the more possible points of failure and more possible points where pressure can be applied, where operations can be disrupted. Ethnic cleansing is a complicated operation. The logistics of disrupting complicated things tend to be much less complicated than the logistics of the complicated things themselves.
The Right has exploited this fact for a long time. Centralized social services are logistically complex. Public infrastructure is logistically complex. By destroying these things, they can loot public resources by privatizing the infrastructure and functionality.
But the things that support the Right are even more logistically complex. Oil, cars, AI data centers, internal paramilitary, these are extremely complicated and fragile. There are numerous pressure points, all of which can respond to numerous strategies.
If we want to win, we should reduce the influence of politics over the things we care about. We should focus on building distributed mutual aid networks that don't rely on state funding and aren't subject to the whims of politicians. This is also known as "dual power." That is, creating counter-institutions outside of the dominant political system. The Right already does this in the form of churches and corporations.
As we reduce our complexity, we can then press our complexity advantage against the things for which the Right *needs* the state: the apparatus of violence needed to maintain capital and enforce the dominant order.

RE: https://tldr.nettime.org/@tante/116713587055769588
I was actually using LLMs a couple of years ago for text classification. Before that I pushed hard for resources to support automation. I helped build an automation team where none existed. I pushed to use transformer models to solve problems before LLMs existed. I used simple ML to make predictions and classify issues. I've been on the cutting edge for a long time.
I *should* be an early adopter of the modern LLM thing. But tech oligarchs transformed themselves into reverse ouroboros (infinitely shoving their heads up their own asses). The oligarchs never really believed that other people had free will, but I think they had been too scared to let that slip. After the lockdowns, I think they just snapped and here we are.
As much as I trash LLMs, I've had a nuanced critique for a while (wiring about this now). The lack of consent is so huge. The oligarchs have plans for us, and it doesn't involve our consent.
Under different conditions, I do actually think there could be revolutionary elements to this tech (not so much LLMs themselves as LLM MCP, and not for the things they think). But without consent, I think (and hope) the friction will overcome the momentum.
"AI" is already more expensive than humans. It will never be profitable as long as people resist. There are multiplying problems, and I don't see those being fixed without collective effort. I have a lot of thoughts, but "consent" (or the real or implied lack thereof) is central to so many aspects of LLMs.
The oligarchs want to force LLM tech onto all of us without our consent. Ultimately, they want to replace us all with obedient machines. The mistake they made was assuming we would be as obedient as the LLMs with which they have become so obsessed.

The Greater Chaco region is a living, ancestral landscape,
replete with invaluable cultural resources and deeply sacred to Indigenous peoples of the Southwest since time immemorial.
However, the region continues to face the fossil fuel industry’s relentless attempts to drill these lands,
and the administration is now moving rapidly to revoke the area's 20-year ban on oil and gas development.
Roughly 90% of nearby public lands are already leased for drilling
