This news is important because all the fucks out there actively attempting to wreck the world want you to think that the work is hopeless and just mitigating the worst case scenario. It's not. Fucking keep going.

people should be taught situational awareness in schools: don't stop in the middle of a trail/sidewalk if others are around, have your money ready, don't walk abreast a path if you're a slow-ass group, pay attention to the stoplight, etc.

Wile E. Coyote, despaired, takes a bucket of paint and a brush and paints a beautiful two-bedroom house on a mountainside. He paints a beautiful coyote wife in the window, and two adorable coyote kids running around in the yard. He tries to enter this new coyote life, but it is inaccessible to him

In a global milestone, Peru’s Satipo and Nauta-Loreto regions have recognized native stingless bees as rights-bearing entities. Backed by a 2025 national law, the framework allows legal action to shield critical pollinators from deforestation and pesticides. Liz Kimbrough reports for #Mongabay.

“Studies suggest youths are more empathetic and less narcissistic than in the past, as well as more open-minded and inclusive. Drug use is down, youth violence has dropped and teen pregnancies have declined.” It’s almost like panic abt kids’ wellbeing serve existing adult demands for control.

Trying to cater to the worst bad faith actors in your audience is shadowboxing. It's a losing battle. All you'll do is dilute and hobble your actual ideas and sand all the interesting things off them. Fuck those folks. They will take umbrage with shit they make up in their head and blame you for it

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

Placing a layer of algorithmic recommendation on speech does not make speech less free, but it does pervert it. Algorithmic mediation turns speech into a resource extracted from human behavior. Platforms do not value speech because it is protected, they value the service it provides them.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...
Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

The situation in Nepal is incredible. The government tried to ban social media last week which led to violent protests and the prime minister ousted. Gen Z protesters then met in a 100K strong Discord chat where they elected ex-chief justice Sushila Karki as the interim prime minister.
