After working on climate-related humanitarian work around the world for the past 20 years or so, this is the thing that gets me the most.
$2 billion a week would go such a long way towards solving the vast majority of issues for the world's 5 billion poorest.

New: 150 unionized ProPublica workers are on strike TODAY over AI, layoff protections, wages, and more.
They're asking readers to not visit ProPublica or engage with content on other platforms. It's the first work stoppage of its kind at the newsroom.

this is true beyond journalism. the federalist society is exceptionally well-funded while the closest thing to a liberal counterpart has to engage in endless penny pinching
I was so happy to see "People, not Platforms" all over the place this year at #AtmosphereConf, and I'll always believe in that statement in my core.
But, by next year, I need everyone saying this one. Over and over, until it's all you can think about.
Let me ask you about that specifically. I wasn’t at South by Southwest. We have a little baby. I didn’t travel this year, but I watched Instagram. I experienced South by Southwest through the magic of Instagram and TikTok. You had a suite there at South by Southwest. I looked at some of the videos. The caption on one of the Instagram carousels… I’m just going to read you the caption. This is from the Superhuman suite at South by Southwest. There were a lot of talks there. The summary of the talks was, “AI can’t replace human creativity, empathy, or emotion. It won’t take all of our jobs, but it will reshape how we work. And in the AI era, taste and judgment are more valuable than ever.” Valuable on what metric? Is it dollars? Valuable on every metric. Specifically dollars. Dollars are what I pay my mortgage in. Is it dollars? I’m sorry, I didn’t understand the question. If my “taste and judgment are more valuable than ever,” but it’s also infinitely replicable and you think I need a new business model or every creator needs a new business model or– Sorry, you made a big leap from that. How do I make more dollars? If my “taste and judgment are more valuable than ever,” where do the extra dollars come from? So just to be clear on the tagline for Superhuman, what we believe is that we can help all our users become superhuman by bringing them tools that allow them to expand their work. The main way we think about people is that Grammarly doesn’t do your work for you. Grammarly helps make you a better writer. And you still publish your essay, you still post your article. It’s our job to turn you into a superhuman. That’s our promise to our users. That’s what the banner’s about. Your question is a very good question.
All time Decoder sequence here. Dollars, baby. I love 'em. www.theverge.com/podcast/8987...
Stunningly bullshit framing on this NYT story that insists that somehow renewables are a dicy unpredictable thing and downplays that they're far, far cheaper most of the time by focusing on how they're not always. As is often the case with the NYT, comments smarter than article.
Actually hilarious to get caught trying to lie this bad, hope whatever Target slid their way was worth it
Dire
Please give. Ian is legit.
Also I am angrier with every passing second. One or two ultrawealthy persons could relieve all of this now
It’s beautiful that regular people are doing their best here but it’s also extremely fucked up
It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...
In other words, all someone who wishes you ill has to do is buy an item off your wishlist, and Amazon will hand over your address.
How many educators, librarians, DV or homeless shelter staffers, or other community volunteers will be negatively affected by this?
This is... very disturbing.
Part of the myth of Ring is that this is MY camera on MY door--but when you see a map and realize that there are a hundred in your neighborhood and they're all connected by a corporation that serves the police, the illusion dissolves.
INSTANT follow, sooo happy about this! 👔
“They want our daughters and granddaughters to have zero information about their bodies and sex, no ability to protect themselves from pregnancy, limited choices for an intellectual and professional life, and—once our girls have been corralled into early marriages—few opportunities to leave.”
Annotated stories are my version of comic books.
Fucking love this.
Y'all, ICE thugs are still terrorizing people in Minneapolis and St. Paul.
They are counting on America looking away, and it's currently working. Please tell everyone you know, please reach out to people with huge followings, and ask them to help refocus our attention on the ongoing abuses.
googoogaagaamaxxing: why is this SO PERFECT, omg
Been thinking about this ever since the footage was "recovered" from cameras that were supposedly not active.
starting to feel like there's a direct relationship between the growing obsession with lifestyle hygeine (no drinking, no caffeine, no sex, obsessive working out and looksmaxxing) and the inability to meaningful moral stands on issues of actual import
Hey, honey, wake up. The predations are merging!
If you’re going to use AI to artificially run the clock back on the actors in your ad, might you spare a few dollars to make sure it hits…any emotional chord at all?!

Whoaaaaa 😵💫
the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex
Some people are asking what I want Schumer to do. He should be screaming over medical care and access to facilities. He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]
This country disrespects children more than anyone else
ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...
Incrementalists take it on the chin again. This is why they hate Mamdani. He's giving up the game that people in power HAVE POWER and don't solely exist to beg you for $5 every day. He's ruining the Democratic Party by showing voters that they have the power to do stuff instead of crouching in fear
