Pope Leo XIV says wars are being sustained more easily than people are fed. He urged governments to strengthen resources to combat hunger after a severe funding shortfall by the United States and other countries. On Monday, Leo addressed the U.N.

"Portugal has just used up its natural resources for 2026. Is the rest of Europe doing any better?"
#Portugal #Resources

These EU states have already used up their natural resources for 2026
Humans use as much ecological resources as if we lived on 1.7 Earths, meaning many European nations have already reached 'Overshoot Day'.

The fact the United States is currently creating facts claiming that Cuba isn't being starved by them, but that the Cuban government is actually at fault and using all the resources which would otherwise help the population (somehow), really makes me think about all the other times I've heard this rhetoric in history.

Our resources are controlled by a cult that's demanding that we have faith in their impossible god.

So very much this: Even if you think AI is net-positive, we have a duty to expand well, not on top of the most marginalized as always.
The way we do it now is the way of paving natural beauty, discarding entire communities, and taking what is often limited resources from those who need them to live.
It is possible to build data centers that do not have these problems. It is possible to power with solar, to cool with a refrigeration cycle instead of evaporating water.
It just costs more energy. And therefore is only viable if we invest in solar, heavily, and require it.
One of the fundamental tenets embedded in capitalism is that if you can't represent it in the market, it doesn't have to be taken into account. Community and ways of life are those things.

The World Resources Institute’s (WRI) Electric School Bus Initiative reports that a number of fully deployed vehicle-to-grid (V2G) projects involving some 230 electric school buses are now able to supply 8 MWh of power back to the grid at any given time – enough electricity to power about 1,600 typical US homes for up to four hours and significantly shave peak load demand for the utilities they serve.

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.

This paper establishes crucial cooperation criteria for the operation of Dynamic Virtual Power Plants (DVPPs). We propose a control design and reward allocation mechanism to enable and incentivize Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) to provide dynamic ancillary services (DAS). Our results illustrate how the cooperative aggregation of heterogeneous DERs leverages technical complementarities to outperform standalone DAS provision. The proposed reward allocation fulfills critical game-theoretic cr…

If the only indicator of success is budget surplus then we are loosing track of the fact that actual resources - the people, the space, the equipment - are what make a place a meaningful success.

In partnership with California Native American tribes,
the California Natural Resources Agency has developed a goal of expanding tribal stewardship over at least 7.5 million acres of lands and coastal waters.
The Tribal Stewardship Policy and Toolkit will provide policy and resources to institutionalize durable tribal-state partnerships
and to advance durable tribal access, collaboration, and ancestral land return across California.
The Tribal Stewardship Policy will…

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,
