Supporting your local food bank doesn’t just help your community — it helps the planet.
From the article:
Their metrics showed that — in addition to providing over 1.7 billion meals to 40 million people in need globally — food banks also diverted an estimated 1.8 million metric tons of carbon dioxide. By intercepting unspoiled food destined for the landfill, and redistributing food from local farms and wholesale produce markets, the 2023 report offered evidence that community-led solutions to addressing global hunger can also help protect the globe itself. “Nearly a third of the world’s food is lost or wasted at the post-harvest, retail, and consumer levels, never reaching the people who need it,” the GFN team wrote in the report. “Food loss and waste proves costly for producers, takes up space in landfills, and emits harmful greenhouse gases, intensifying climate change.”
Reading this was one of those "oh duh!" moments for me. Despite being aware that food systems and food waste are major sources of emissions, I had mentally placed food banks in a "addressing non environmental problems" category. But of course, food banks make our food system more efficient and less wasteful by making the most out of the food we have already produced.
This is just another example of so many of our problems being connected. Donating to a food bank doesn't just address food insecurity, it's also a powerful force for reducing food waste and carbon emissions.
“Why would companies push generative AI in seemingly every part of their service, even though customers don’t like it and it doesn’t really work? It’s simple: they neither know nor care what the customer wants, barely know how their businesses function, barely know what their products do, and barely understand what their workers are doing, meaning that generative AI feels magical, because it does an impression of somebody doing a job, which is an accurate way of describing how most executives and middle managers operate.”

"even if something isn't what the Lady wanted it was done in her name, are those things so different?" Yes???? They literally are????
Whenever I see takes like this I always feel like I need to make an official statement like "We, the Christian church as a whole, do not condone the Crusades and we're pretty sure that's not what God wanted either! It was primarily political!" And that's just like. One example.
If you spend several hundred years talking about how great the Crusades were and use the word as a synonym for fighting for God during that time as well, you can hardly be upset if non-Christians are a bit suspicious that a bunch of you have suddenly started repudiating them in the last few decades.
It's also a big part of why we Jews are uneasy with you suddenly not thinking we're collectively guilty of deicide. Not that it's not nice, but it's a very sudden change that goes against a millennium of previous teachings.

article: “I suspect that a bit of the steam has gone out of the LGBT thing,” Backman told the right-wing outlet, staying ahead of the issue. “There may be the odd protester, but if they have got armies of PR people laser-focused on that then I suspect it may be OK.”

Since we're getting into "did you know that Santa's eight tiny reindeer are a reference to the eight legs of Odin's steed?" season once again, remember: while there are some elements of Christmas (or Hallowe'en, or Easter, or...) observations that are probably pre-Christian in origin, before one believes any of that this-is-really-100%-just-a-Pagan-holiday-with-the-serial-numbers-filed-off stuff, one must consider all of the following possibilities:
Our earliest known records of the cited pre-Christian practices were written down by some random Christian monk centuries after the fact, and we genuinely have no idea how accurate this account is, to what extent the apparent similarities with Christian practice are due to the author deliberately or unwittingly putting a Christian spin on it, or indeed, whether they were just making shit up.
The similarities between the two sets of practices have been exaggerated or misrepresented by Christian writers who were bent for prefiguration theology (i.e., the idea that the Bible echoes backwards in time and pre-Christian religious practices were unwittingly imitating future Christian practices).
The similarities between the two sets of practices have been exaggerated or misrepresented by Protestant writers who believe that all Pagan deities are Satan in disguise, so they think that if they can prove that Catholic practices are secretly Pagan in origin, that proves that Catholics are secretly Satanists.
The similarities between the two sets of practices have been exaggerated or misrepresented by overzealous mythographers trying to prove that all mythology and religion throughout all of human history is secretly a single unified monomyth; if it's pre-Victorian, expect shades of prefiguration theology, while if it's post-Victorian, expect a lot of stuff about the Collective Unconscious.
A bunch of 19th Century proto-Fascists were trying to construct a pre-Jewish cultural identity (and considered Christianity to be tainted by association), but didn't want to give up any of the fun rituals, so they made some shit up about how it was still okay to do Christmas because something something Odin, or whatever.
A bunch of early 20th Century Pagan reconstructionists filled in the gaps in their understanding of pre-Christian ritual with culturally Christian assumptions, then turned around and pointed at their own accidentally Christianised reconstructions as evidence that Christian practices are derived from them.
A bunch of late 20th Century self-help manual authors tried to break into the occult bookstore market by uncritically repeating any or all of the above.
Someone on the Internet just made it up.
When you see a corporation not pay $16 BILLION in taxes, remember those corporations are funding Republican politicians who want you to be upset with immigrants and migrants.

I looked this up before reblogging. She's a member of LULAC, the League of United Latin American Citizens.
This is a coordinated effort to intimidate and suppress the Latino vote in Texas.
Look at what these fuckers are doing.
Lidia Martinez has been a LULAC member for over 35 years and works to expand voter registration among seniors and veterans in South Texas, C
"They scared the hell out of me," Martinez told CBS News after nine officers with tactical gear and firearms showed up on Aug. 20.
[...]
"My nightgown and I had all these policemen around me. It was embarrassing, humiliating, I was so angry. It was horrible," Martinez said.
They seized her phone, computer, personal calendar, blank voter registration forms and her certificate to conduct voter registration, according to Martinez.
She's been a LULAC member for over 35 years and works to expand voter registration among seniors and veterans in South Texas.
"I feel that they're going to stop a lot of us from going out and doing our work, and that's what they want," Martinez told Omar Villafranca.
Same fucking story.
Stand with LULAC to fight back!
Here's their donation form. Charity navigator rates them 4 stars. Let's make the Texas AG's bullying backfire by drawing nationwide attention to this organization.

Why the current hype around AI is a slap in the face for creatives.
Why the current hype around AI is a slap in the face for creatives.
Y'all I know that when so-called AI generates ridiculous results it's hilarious and I find it as funny as the next guy but I NEED y'all to remember that every single time an AI answer is generated it uses 5x as much energy as a conventional websearch and burns through 10 ml of water. FOR EVERY ANSWER. Each big llm is equal to 300,000 kiligrams of carbon dioxide emissions.
LLMs are killing the environment, and when we generate answers for the lolz we're still contributing to it.
Stop using it. Stop using it for a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g. We need to kill it.
