Beirut, Lebanon – Israel killed 10 firefighters in a strike on the southern Lebanese town of Baraachit in what rescue workers described as a deliberate attack.

The deaths pushed the number of rescue workers Israel has killed in Lebanon to more than 100 in the past year – most in the past two weeks.

Wow, I had not realized that. All the news says "covid tests." Here's an article that actually says "testing devices," which is what they all should say.

AI is theft

"AI is based on what we call ‘the privatisation of collective intelligence’. The value of generative AI tools is based on original human creative work that has been ripped off and monetised. All of the books, paintings, articles and recordings used to train generative AI models are largely unacknowledged and unremunerated. No consideration has been given to the human creatives whose work is used to create knock-offs and competitors in the creative market."

Today in Labor History October 9, 1874: Mary Heaton Vorse was born. Vorse was a labor journalist who participated in and wrote eyewitness accounts of many of the significant labor battles of her day. In the 1910s, she was the founding editor of the “Masses,” as well as an activist in the suffrage and women’s peace movements. In 1912, she participated in and wrote about the Lawrence textile strike. She helped organize the Wobblies’ unemployment protest in New York, 1914, and was good friends with Elizabeth Gurley Flynn. In 1916, she reported on the IWW Mesabi Range strike. And in 1919, she worked as a publicist for the Great Steel Strike. She also wrote the novel, "Strike!" about the 1929 textile mill strike, in Gastonia, North Carolina, which was made into a film in 2007.

wouldn't it be nice & kind if people with infections wore masks to protect others from getting infected?

Hopefully, conditions will improve for you.

But it sure SEEMS like we on the side of a living planet ought to be able to engineer SOMETHING.
