Last week the News/Media Alliance thanked Trump for a part of the BBB. Today, they are thanking the FTC for killing the "click-to-cancel" rule.
I'm running a retreat in Colombia in September and I'm looking to invite (free of charge, I'll pay travel) a few Colombian artists/designers to participate.
Ideally you'd have a practice (or interests) that align with the themes of the retreat - birds, biodiversity, place-based data art.

Robert F Kennedy Jr is not a vaccine skeptic. Reporters and editors who’ve decided it’s somehow more fair to call him one instead of the anti-vaccine activist and lawyer he is should stop mischaracterizing him so… in the pursuit of accuracy.

Iffy is great. Was just there on Sunday. Give if you can to this important community space.
Israel attacking Iran and Iran attacking back has driven Israeli leaders underground and required US media to gingerly note the IDF maintains underground bases in “populated areas”. I wrote about this awkward fact and US media’s racist and cheesy “human shields” double standard.

If you are concerned that RFK Jr.'s FDA chief Marty Makary is limiting the Novavax COVID booster to those over 65 or with underlying conditions, and may do the same for Pfizer/Moderna as well, consider leaving a comment as well.

The number of journalists killed by Israel in Gaza is three times the total killed in all of World War II. Brown University study.
I keep a running list of all the things I see people carrying by bike in the Netherlands and my favorites are a woman carrying a full twin size mattress under her arm, and 2 women cycling side by side each holding onto the handles of a keg.
