I know I've crossed paths with a couple of people on here in the past who are involved in community theater.

I'm leading a working group for developing an AI policy for our community theater. I told the rest of the board that I would first take an informal survey of how other community theaters are approaching AI usage.

I've reached out to all of our local peers, but if you are a theater person on the fediverse, and you're aware of your community theater having an AI policy, I would love to hear from you.

(Editor's note: If you are not involved in theater and just want to sound off about AI, please save it. I would like to keep this thread manageable and on-topic. If you want to help, you can boost the post.)

Calling #Wikipedia nerds and friends! I'm writing about the stuff happening in Wikipedia land, and I had a thought that I wanted to run past people who actually know what's up (yes, I am a Wikipedian, but a bit of a lapsed one).

Is there any connection to be found between the fact that #AI generated contributions were banned by Wikipedia recently, and the move to fire the community teams?

Perhaps the community was showing too much of its power?

Gotta respect the Vanuatu Daily Post's visual communication of this landmark. A moody shot of Vanuatu Minister of Climate Change Ralph Regenvanu stylin' it, with Trump and Putin slinking off in shame in the background...

They say the images of melting ice caps and polar bears failed to mobilise people... Well, here's an old/new aesthetic for today's era of climate baddies.

Sadly, NZ’s wishy-washy 11th hour support disappointing:

https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/pacific/596009/un-backs-vanuatu-led-resolution-endorsing-landmark-icj-climate-ruling

NZ voted for the resolution, but it wasn't among the 60+ co-sponsoring nations. A few years ago, it certainly would have been.

As Vanuatu ambassador, Odo Tevi, said to the UN:

“We should be honest with one another about why this matters … It matters because the harm is real and it is already here... The states and peoples bearing the heaviest burden are very often those who contributed least to the problem.”

UN backs Vanuatu-led resolution endorsing landmark ICJ climate ruling

Vanuatu's climate change minister says the overwhelming support at the UN General Assembly confirms that no state is above its obligations to protect people and the planet.

This backing from the UN strengthens the ICJ opinion as an authoritative reference point for courts, governments and climate groups to cite in climate litigation and advocacy around the world. So, reference and cite it wherever you can.

There's a great deep dive by Rebecca Solnit that goes into the many involved & the efforts over years, the student group & the work of the Indigenous Chamorro human rights lawyer Julian Aguon.

"This May Well Be the Most Consequential Case in the History of Humanity"

Something huge just happened. Or rather another step was taken in the successful trajectory of the most important climate action you probably never heard of. It was a follow-up to maybe the biggest thing that happened last year, though it didn't get much attention then either. There was a period

Last July, the ICJ clarified that states are indeed obligated to regulate fossil fuel emissions, reduce global warming, cooperate internationally and protect human rights, including the right to a "clean, healthy and sustainable environment".

Last week, despite opposition from the United States, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Israel, Iran, Yemen, Liberia and Belarus, the UN General Assembly voted to support the opinion - 141 votes to 8.

UN backs historic climate crisis ruling, despite US attempts to stop resolution

The US, Russia, Iran and Saudi Arabia – some of the highest oil-producing nations and major greenhouse gas emitters – opposed the measure

A major success for ni-Vanuatu and Pacific climate advocacy - the UN has backed last July’s ICJ climate advisory opinion.

What began as 27 law students in Port Vila at the University of the South Pacific forming Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change, turned into a Vanuatu-led campaign to bring climate change and human rights to the International Court of Justice.

Adopted! UNGA Resolution on the ICJAO passes with overwhelming majority. — Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change | Seeking an Advisory Opinion from the ICJ

NEW YORK, May 20, 2026 –   Today, at the United Nations General Assembly, a strong majority of States affirmed simple but powerful truths: the climate crisis is not beyond the reach of justice, the time to act is now, and the rule of law must guide climate action.

#JWST image of Messier 77 ✨

M77, also known as the Squid Galaxy, is a barred spiral galaxy more than 45 million light-years away, invisible to the naked eye.

Its bright centre is an active galactic nucleus, an intensely energetic region created as gravity pulls gas towards a central supermassive black hole.

The 6 bright lines (+ 2vertical rays) are diffraction spikes: visual artefacts created by Webb’s hexagonal mirrors & telescope design.
