If you’re rich, I don’t like you. If you’re rich and help the poor, I still don’t like you. If you’re rich and wish you weren’t, I can understand that, but it doesn’t change anything. Giving to the poor doesn’t undo the system that made you rich in the first place. It’s charity dressed up as justice, and it only makes you look generous while the structure that feeds your power stays firm.
If you really wanted to help, you’d walk away from the corporations, the profit, and the comfort b…

Rampant sand mining in the Mekong River is directly weakening critical seasonal river flows that sustain Southeast Asia’s largest freshwater lake, new research indicates.

News Literacy Project survey: 84% of US teens describe news media negatively, and 94% think news or media literacy should be part of their education (Diane Sylvester/Editor and Publisher)
https://www.editorandpublisher.com/stories

Teen distrust of journalism is rising — media literacy may be the industry’s best defense
When the News Literacy Project surveyed American teens last fall, the results were sobering: 84% described news media as “biased,” “boring” or “bad.” In her latest report for E&P, Diane Sylvester unpacks what’s driving that skepticism — and why it may say as much about the broader information ecosystem as it does about young people themselves. From classroom gaps to social media overload, the findings reveal a generation struggling to distinguish journalism from everything else …

Beyond the usual suspect: Nitrogen feeds algae blooms, researchers find
Nitrogen is a bit of a conundrum. In its gaseous form it's the most abundant element in the atmosphere, but few organisms can readily use it. And while all living organisms contain nitrogen, a new University of Vermont study finds that even tiny amounts of nitrogen can fuel cyanobacterial blooms and disrupt lake ecosystems.
