I went to the local, employee-owned, organic, coop the other day and parked next to a a Tesla Cybertruck. The guy exited wearing a HODL T-shirt and I knew everything I needed to know about him.

Trump's ban on MSNOW, CNN, and Politico is not only part of the autocratic playbook, but the timing is no coincidence. Trump is well in the autocratic backfire process, thus, entire media outlets he sees as threats must be banished. This is a moment of reckoning for America.

I can imagine it, and it's a world with less climate refugees, because we addressed the concerns raised way back in Kyoto, people who have more options in life because they are better educated, so there is less crime and terrorism and a more stable world.

Lawmakers blast AI companies after researcher warns of human extinction by 2030

Ted Cruz, a republican senator from Texas, said in an interview on ABC’s The View, that AI poses a “catastrophic risk” and that he “read that whole tweet thread that that developer put out. It was highly concerning. Continue reading...
