In an Ohio town, a "retired gas industry executive, a shadowy 'grassroots' group and a controversial media company are spreading misinformation while turning residents against a proposed solar farm — and each other.
The media company, a notorious "pink slime" operator, bought the local newspaper and turned it into a propaganda machine.

Climate change made Helene more dangerous. It also makes similar storms more likely
Researchers found that Hurricane Helene was stronger, rainier, and significantly more likely because of climate change. The U.S. can expect more such storms in the future as warming continues.

I’ve already learned that I need to work on intentionally spot metering (unsure if that is the right term), and that the monobath does *not* play nice with Kodak TMax 100.
D-76 gets here tomorrow.

This robot started working again today after about a 14 day absence.
Waiting to hear from IFTTT customer service team if it was their engineering team who got it running again -- thank you if so.
I have extended the period that this robot is off limited status (publicly sharable) through about 10-17-24 so new users can see it and decide if they want to follow.
Due to high volume I usually keep it on limited status.
Thanks,
Michael

Today I’m facing yet another wave of spam from junk accounts.
Folks, if you admin an instance, please add some friction to creating an account there. Making new users step over a small barrier to get in can help ensure a better experience for everyone on the #Fediverse.

in reply to Dan Gillmor • • •It’s about time we found a way to charge these oil & gas companies for the decades of harm they’ve caused, knowing all along what they were doing.
It’s even worse that we’re still letting them continue to lie to people, and use those ill-gotten profits to block progress towards clean, renewable energy.
Worrying about the loss of farmland should be their concern, but not from solar farms. From the planet heating up & crops no longer being able to survive.

Tombstone did it...

in reply to Dan Gillmor • • •Yeah
dunno about the 'shadowy' bit
but here where we live, state college, pa.us, after a long and rather arduous process, we're in the final stretch for a large solar energy purchasing agreement.

Those opposing it are coming out of the woodwork,
remarkably uniform in the details of their opposition, and very well organised.
I can't be arsed to imagine this is 'grass roots'
