Almost all of the world’s shallow-water coral reefs have now been classified as critically endangered by experts who assess ecosystem collapse. The classification, announced Thursday, means that the reef ecosystems face an extremely high risk of collapse within 50 years. nyti.ms/4yIyYR7

If there was a big AI conference in SF, and the organizer on stage ranted about trans people and immigrants, gave a Nazi salute, and demoed an antisemitic chatbot that allowed you to nudify minors, would you really stay because "that's where the AI conversation is happening?" I just don't get it.

More reason to go see this in theaters

Literal nightmare fuel

This is the way

Jesus Christ, we are the dumbest country.

Serious question, what real American wants THIS?

Trump: I’m not a king. Official White House account:

Wasting $1B in taxpayer money to kill us and the planet faster. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/23/c...

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

Has there ever been an actor with a universal approval rating? She was unstoppably funny and interesting. Very sad day www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/a...

Trump sells pardons for something like $1-5 million and most of the people owed 10x that or more. So instead of their victims getting money, Trump got it.

This shit is delightful

It's almost like billionaires having personal media outlets to put the thumb on the scale of truth to their own benefit is a bad thing.

After January 6, 2021, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Comcast publicly pledged to stop donating to politicians who sought to undermine the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election. In 2025, these companies have stopped worrying about democracy and are buying Trump a ballroom.

This is why I'll never buy a printer again 😆

Let’s open our eyes. This isn’t a functioning democracy any longer when - in the middle of a high stakes funding fight - the President illegally suspends federal projects in states run by Democrats as a way to punish the political opposition.

In 2020, we mapped out the danger zones that will close in on Americans over the next 30 years — combining climate data with wildfire projections by US Forest Service researchers and others. See what changes are in store for your county 👇

Couldn't nod my head harder at this piece. The tech industry I was so excited about decades ago is a very different place.

Today is a great day to sell Disney stock!

Btw very important to say that the FCC has not at all said what Kimmel said that was so objectionable! This is classic chilling effect - there are no rules so everyone stops talking www.theverge.com/news/780471/...

This still seems relevant! And I’m going to give away the punchline of this post I published *Tuesday* — before the whole Kimmel ABC fiasco: End subscriptions that reinforce everything bad that’s going on right now and pay for indie media & creativity (if you can) www.moryan.com/on-the-firin...

We have to make change now.

Sure hope Delta isn't this cowardly and unfair.

A DOJ study showing most domestic terrorism in the US comes from the far right is suddenly missing and replaced with a note saying DOJ is complying with Trump's executive order www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

Our government is using the terrible actions of one person, whose motives have not been determined, to threaten squashing people they don't like. They're going to use this as a screen to do unjust things to people and groups who don't deserve it. Rational, moral leadership is a faraway dream.

A stagnant, unchanging democracy is doomed to drown in its worst characteristics. The only way to progress is to be open to change. Originalism is not what the founders intended - they CREATED the ability to change the Constitution. We should honor that spirit and adapt.

I wrote a column responding to Ezra Klein’s eulogy for Charlie Kirk, and argued that democracy depends not just on civil disagreement, but on the civic equality that Kirk passionately opposed. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is so gross. Remember when tech used to be a place for nerds who were trying to make the world a better place? So much for that.

These people are creating a dystopian nightmare.

BREAKING WSJ: The Trump White House plans to conduct a far-reaching review of Smithsonian museum exhibitions, materials and operations ahead of America's 250th anniversary to ensure the museums align with "Trump's interpretation of American history." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Disgusting. Ignoring policies, just at an ethical level, how can any voter look at themselves in the mirror and support this?

I guess we’re okay with this. (Feel free to RT this over the next few days, weeks, years, forever)

Seems like a great time to stop flying Delta, using AI to steal from us arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Has there ever been a headline more representative of the Trump administration than straight-up removing ethics?

Attorney General Pam Bondi fired the ethics director at the Department of Justice

This is how a president becomes a king. The Supreme Court is spitting in the face of the judiciary's responsibility.

Refugees in Kenya have died at food distribution centers, officials noted, including a pregnant woman crushed to death during a stampede. Aid workers said they expected more people to get hurt “as vulnerable households become increasingly desperate.”

This would be the largest public lands sell-off in modern U.S. history and it's happening with no hearings, no debate, and no public input. See what public lands would be available for sale: www.wilderness.org/articles/med...

This is pitiful. Record labels, don’t give in and let all your works be stolen so you can replace musicians for machine created garbage. www.avclub.com/big-3-labels...

We have got to stop this madness. For the love of God, will the world's governments please wake up and attempt to solve climate change? We are going to fry in a skillet of our own making.

Some good news—official data released today shows US solar generation continues to grow rapidly and is on track to set new record highs. In March, solar output was up 35% compared to the same time last year!

Because it's Friday ...

Felt good to get out and speak out today! Decatur GA showed up in the hundreds and the support from passerby was incredible! #teslatakedown

But her emails….

I would love for a journalist somewhere to do a piece on how our currrent political moment has a lot to do with the death of shame. Shame (and the behavioral norms that come from it) have upheld so much of how we've operated. It kept people from doing things that would have brought ridicule.
