The Electric Slide www.notboring.co/p/the-electr... One of the best and important Substack articles I've read so far. It captures my growing frustration with America's AI strategy.

Although I disagreed with Charlie Kirk on a number of issues, I abhor political violence. My thoughts go out to his young family. That's heartbreaking.

Few see the clean energy transition as clearly as David Roberts of @volts.wtf. On Supercool, we discussed what happens when clean energy technologies cost only marginally more than their materials. "We're going to be able to do more locally than anyone thinks. And we're going to do more off-grid."

Beautifully written article - definitely worth a read. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/an-...

"We cannot build bananas in America." - Madeline Dean 🤣

I like how Pope Leo XIV #newpope is kicking this off! “Una acción valiente contra el cambio climático”

Went for a walk in my favorite local Franciscan Monk Garden today (and here's hoping you have one of them too :) Saw a little marker under a blooming cherry blossom that read "Hate Destroys. Love Alone Creates."

Have you noticed this thing where AI CEOs say "In 2 years all humanity will be surpassed utterly" followed by "so, it's important to increase your skill set and remain adaptable." I feel like if you believe the first part, the second part is just a kind of encouraging noise, like "hustle, kid!"

We are the stories we tell ourselves. What story do we tell of America? Which ones do we believe are possible. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/147907...

Iris Murdoch: “Love is the extremely difficult realization that something other than oneself is real. Love, and so art and morals, is the discovery of reality.” ... I miss reality

Weinersmith's "A City on Mars" is such a great read and cuts through the delusion we can escape the problems on Earth by populating Mars.

Beautiful day to #standupforscience in DC. Francis Collins is our community's Pete Seeger

This song by Johnny "Guitar" Watson perfectly captures the zeitgeist of today. youtu.be/3sYUthjyTb8?...

Lest we forget. “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ It matters what stories we tell ourselves. And, I appreciate that my Church shared this letter in spite of pushback. www.vatican.va/content/fran...

Nothing spells "fun" for the kids like a state-sponsored, sovereign fund backed social media platform. #tiktok

The Great Gatsby didn't age well for me, but this line from Fitzgerald kind of nails things. "These are careless people who smash up things and creatures, secure in their vast carelessness."

Uh...this doesn't seem legal or right. www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

The recent success of the resource constrained #DeepSeek team demonstrates that the risks of breaking up Big Tech are way overstated. If anything, we may release real innovation in tech and our economy.

1/IMPORTANT thread about Bluesky funding and origins. Many folks know that it was seeded by Jack Dorsey around a libertarian vision of a magical network that wouldn’t need moderation because it would be decentralized and baked into a protocol (somehow).

Wow!...is right. This is pretty exciting evidence of asteroids' role in providing materials conducive to life on Earth

As Twitter dies trolls are looking at other media outlets to engage. Hide their replies. Then go to their profile and block them. Never engage. They will soon tire of their trolling if they get no response. Peace and Harmony prevails when we stick together.

Gen Z cares more about the environment than any previous generation. Gen Z also spends less time outdoors and in nature than any previous generation. Hmmm.

“‘Education … the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world.’” —  @DrDCWahl t.co/ECXx5EeJIv

According to research, references to nature have been decreasing steadily in fiction books, song lyrics, and film storylines for the past 50 years. How can #kidlit #MGLit help kids reconnect with the natural world?

I'd love to find a way to connect with the good folks of #kidlit and #mgbookchat who have migrated to bluer skies.

Hi! Glad to be here. Looks relatively new and shiny here :)
