US should cancel silicone valley and Wall Street!

Adults thought they made it when reach adulthood, whenever they feel it is, and stopped absorbing new information.

the fact that we're all just accepting that our attention spans are being systematically destroyed for profit is wild. like we know it's happening and we just... keep scrolling anyway

I am a climate scientist and this is correct. As the planet warms, storms like the one today are getting stronger… and as the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the mid latitudes, it increases the risk of the “freezer door” swinging open. Technical explanation here: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

"She said her greatest fear was that AI was insufficiently regulated. 'This is moving so fast, and yet we don’t know how to make it safe. We don’t know how to make it inclusive. Wake up, AI is for real, and it is transforming our world faster than we are getting ahead of it,' she said."

Because our systems prioritize profit over people.

Economics makes more sense if you think of it as a Power Game! Accounting could have been mandatory in high schools since 1950. The traditional social structure has decided that most people are supposed to be losers who do not know the script. Screw the peons! 🤑 chevan.info/depreciation...

prospect.org/2026/01/20/p... @prospect.org who exactly cares about shops that cater solely to the #wealthy? Why waste important #journalistic resources on covering this crap. Focus on the #progressive issues that matter to the majority of #humanity (and not just #Americans ).

Today's #China #news - 1. #population keeps falling 2. #realestate crash 3. booming #exports (e.g. #EV #solar #batteries) Why are these being talked of as bad things? Can you imagine a world where their population is growing; consuming like #Americans and instead of #cleantech shipping #oil #gas
