I’m on a mission to follow every starter park I see on climate change, climate activism, journalism, U.S. politics, geopolitics, tech, academic research, etc.

just a cute little internet theory~~ nancy guthrie is missing because savannah guthrie tried to air undisclosed epstein info from interviewing victims + the fact that her husband feldman works for a public image expert company that worked for bill clinton

I admired her ability to make a strong argument - without repeating, because she was sharing refinements of her own understanding; not least that "we" are only a part of the life on this planet - that our consciousness might value life for its own sake, instead of capitalizing and commodifying it.

Rest in peace Jane Goodall. Incredibly sad as if a family member has passed. I know she is in heaven doing awesome right now. She worked so hard. I wish her nothing but absolute peace and happiness.

every sane person: the US has way more gun deaths than every other high-income country, even when you adjust for poverty and crime simply because of the lack of gun control gun pervert: you’re living in an echo chamber look look Chicago look look Minneapolis

Yeah, the secret reason is taxes. Trump made cuts in 2017, senate balanced it with a time bomb that went off in 2022. "Section 174" allowed software engineers to be written off as R&D headcount, where R&D was a tax write-off. Repeal that, and companies have to pay taxes for engineers. More details:

Who wins in the long term is a matter of who can utilize sustainable energy more and we know China is very willing to play the late game. 👀

* HUAWEI IS DEVELOPING NEW AI CHIP ASCEND 910D: WSJ

US big tech data centers do not care about sustainability as they don’t blink twice to cause water crises across the country. Surely pressure from China will force them to think more long-term rather than only caring about the next quarter’s stock evaluation.

Swiss chard and cooked spinach has become a stable in my diet. Highly recommend getting more potassium and magnesium in your diet rather than only sodium.

already thinking abt how in 20 years you could play the airpods low battery sound to me and even if they're not a thing anymore it would trigger an instant fight or flight response in my brain

I highly recommend holding off from buying a Pixel phone, which are already notorious for bugs and hardware issues. Google continues to layoff the Pixel team. It’s simply a risky buy considering the already poor track record.

Jessica Aber’s death, simultaneous with Trump revoking security clearances of Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton. The coup is moving fast.

went into season 2 of Severance with low expectations since most shows and franchises fumble it the second time around… but damn my mind is blow. It’s just as good if not better.
