California’s wildlife crossing, conservation win or bureaucratic arts and crafts project?
A commentary by David Blackmon argues Gov. Gavin Newsom’s Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing has ballooned from an estimated $54 million to $114 million plus added maintenance funding, turning a once shiny “model project” into an unfinished boondoggle. The piece says wildlife crossings work when they are placed and managed using proven, data-driven methods, citing successes in Banff and multiple U.S. states that cut animal-vehicle collisions. The takeaway is, mock the mismanagement, not the idea of wildlife crossings, because saving animals should not require lighting a money pile on fire first.

EFF warns publishers that blocking the Internet Archive will not stop AI scraping, but could wreck history
The Electronic Frontier Foundation says publisher efforts to block the Internet Archive, including technical measures beyond robots.txt, are unlikely to meaningfully prevent AI companies from scraping news. EFF argues these moves could instead cut off decades of preserved reporting that journalists and historians rely on. While lawsuits over whether AI training on copyrighted material is legal continue, EFF says nonprofit archiving is a separate, longstanding activity and should not be collateral damage, warning the public historical record could be permanently harmed.
