Announcing the Cartoonists for Kamala fund raiser! Many cartoonists have donated original art of their work (not just a print!) for the auction where all the funds will go directly to the Harris-Walz campaign.
Here's a link to get you started. More art will be added over the next couple of days as this kicks into gear.
Our Mastodon friend Geoffrey Deihl makes the necessary connection between: 1) politics as usual, 2) US government subsidies for the fossil fuel industry, and 3) an increasing level of killer storms like Helene and Milton.

Adding this to the thread from #HEATED newsletter. No, DeSantis alone didn’t cause Milton.
But YES! all the deny-and-delay politicians that the #OilyBoys have bought since the 1970s did & still do have a big hand in it. We knew enough in the 1970s to begin phasing out fossil fuels. We knew and #TheyKnew. #ClimateAction #ClimateActionNow @emorwee

Gaza Strip in maps: How a year of war has drastically changed life in the territory
cross-posted from: sh.itjust.works/post/26372640
Analysis from the BBC (who are usually quite motivated and effective at justifying Israel actions).The sheer devastation is incredible. 66% of buildings damaged. 90% of the population displaced. Water and sanitation systems non-functional. 53/500 needed lorries entering the territory per day (down from 142). They're not even trying to look they're helping now. The population have been squeezed into over-populated tent cities.
It feels like they think if they create the conditions for disease and it kills people, they don't get blamed.
To me, it's hard to think of a way this could get closer to genocide. Absolutely sick.
Israel seem to be galvanised by inaction of the world and probably looking to do the same in Lebanon. Is Yemen after? Where does this stop?

Two men other than my father had dramatic impact on my life. Both of them were PE teachers, one in elementary school and one in high school.
I was awkward, uncoordinated, and a social outcast. I was always the last picked when teams were picked. My elementary school PE teacher solved this by making me the "captain" and I got to pick the teams.
My high school PE teacher, who won State championships and coached future NBA all-stars still had time to be my doubles partner when we were playing tennis.
Those two men were definitely my champions.

October 9, 2017 – EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt told a crowd at the Kentucky Farm Bureau that he would like to remove all tax credits given to wind and solar energy. “I’d let them stand on their own and compete against coal and natural gas and other sources.”

The subsidies for renewable energy were meant to stimulate development and use of new energy technologies. Thus far, the subsidies have already had a measurable impact. Berkeley National Laboratory found that oil and coal that we avoided burning between 2007 and 2015 equated to saving between 3,000 and 12,500 premature deaths in eight years.

#SevenYearsAgoToday #AreYouBetterOff
Beyond the health and environmental advantages of subsidizing new sources of energy, Pruitt also ignored the question of whether the oil and coal industries could ‘stand on their own’ without federal support. The fossil fuel industries have received about $20 billion dollars annually in federal tax subsidies.

First, Pruitt acts as if coal and gas never received tax credits.
Second, the EPA is supposed to protect the environment, not the fossil fuel industry.
Third, Pruitt is another sickness that Biden failed to cure.

Windows 11 vs. Ubuntu 24.10 Performance For Intel Core Ultra 7 Lunar Lake
Following my recent Intel Core Ultra 7 200V "Lunar Lake" Linux benchmarks and looking at the Xe2 Lunar Lake graphics (including Windows 11 vs. Linux already), you may be wondering about the Lunar Lake CPU performance between Windows and Linux... Here are some benchmarks of the ASUS Zenbook S 14 with Core Ultra 7 256V under Windows 11 and Ubuntu 24.10 Linux.

October 9, 2017 – Donald Trump and EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt moved to repeal the Clean Power Act, introduced by Obama to lower carbon dioxide emissions 32 percent by 2030. Trump and Pruitt had long seen the act as an attack on coal mining jobs and reversed the environmental regulations as a gesture to the coal industry.

In spite of the many well-publicized pieces of legislation Trump has influenced in order to create more jobs for coal miners, employment in the industry has grown just 4 percent since he was inaugurated. To put the size of the coal mining industry in perspective, the industry as a whole employs about 65,000 people nationally—about 1/5 the number of Americans employed in solar energy alone.

Telling that Postmedia (owned by the Chatham hedge fund) bought Saltwire (former owners of the Halifax Chronicle Herald) this past July.
Their muzzling of political debate continues.
