A significant and growing portion of the best and the brightest are now sliding down the slippery slope of AI-dependency, no longer thinking fully for themselves and abandoning academia.

The AI bubble is deflating, slowly at first, and then the steep downhill before the cliff.

Just before the AI bubble pops, Blackstone leaps to ride the bubble. So much for Blackstone's future....

PJM stalled many GWs of solar and batteries in a queue backlog that lasted many years. This has now culminated in a risk to the electricity grid that serves 11 states (some partially). PJM is essentially run by the utilities that have a vested interest in maintaining the fossil fuel status quo.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” —George Orwell (1984)

This is absolutely ludricous. Any one of a number of States could be completely overwhelmed by a major disaster, such as a hurricane, earthquake, major volcano (including Yellowstone caldera mega-volcano), severe storms of all kinds, and many man-made disasters.

The people profiting from war should not be the people making the policy decisions about the war. We're looking at you, Jared Kushner.

Household debt at a record high. Student loan defaults at a record high. Credit card debt at a near record high. Meanwhile, corporate profits are the highest they’ve ever been. CEOs are paid 325x more than their typical workers. U.S. billionaire wealth is up 30% in a year. It's unsustainable.

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

Trump’s new AI website is kinda fun, it turns out.

NEWS: My new investigation uncovers the horrific ChatGPT history of the Tumbler Ridge school shooter. OpenAI’s chatbot fueled the shooter's violent fantasies and plans up to the day of the massacre. Chats about guns, timing of attacks, becoming infamous, and more. www.motherjones.com/media/2026/0...

The GAO found that DOGE repeatedly exaggerated its "savings" in online posts, finding billions of dollars in the agency's public tally that could not be corroborated. That's why our lawsuit demanding transparency into DOGE's operations is so vital.

There are 57 Trump administration officials with a net worth over $100 million. That's the story of the Trump presidency: a government of, by, and for the rich.

Some persons/couples/families make it a point to read aloud the American Declaration of Independence every July 4th. My wife and I will be doing so today. Is this something that appeals to you?

@loudoun-indivisibl.bsky.social Join us at our June Membership Meeting, where we will also be making a wide variety of signs for our participation in the Leesburg 4th of July parade. www.mobilize.us/loudounindiv...

Just yesterday, House Republicans voted to strip fruit and vegetable benefits from nearly 5.4 MILLION women and children on WIC. That's on top of Trump's Big Ugly SNAP cuts, as food prices continue to surge. The GOP wants Americans to go hungry to make the rich even richer.

"For droughts in global key breadbasket regions, precipitation extremes over highly populated areas and fire weather extremes across forests, global climatic impact-drivers at 2 °C of global warming may turn out to be much more extreme than model-averaged projections at 3 °C or 4 °C warming."

Within, Gavin points out that the new High scenario "gets to 8.5 W/m2 only about 20 years after RCP85"

Hegseth wants to leap into autonomous drone warfare with both feet, though identifying how drones will be used, what it takes to plan their use, how to define support roles, and then train the support team is severely lacking in the Pentagon proposal. thehill.com/opinion/nati...

The Oligarchy we were warned about is here.

The richest 1% will get $117 billion in tax cuts this year, thanks to Trump. That’s more than the combined budgets of eight federal agencies, including the Department of Education and the EPA. Meanwhile, the bottom 95% will see their taxes increase. It’s clear who he governs for.

Trump is calling for the Justice Department to abuse its power and charge judges with crimes if they decide cases in a way Trump does not like. Do people understand how dangerous this is? He's vying to be a dictator and is trying to consolidate power. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/u...

This will have WIDE RANGING GLOBAL ECONOMIC IMPACTS, likely far exceeding the 2008 economic crisis. No country will be able to escape the 2nd and 3rd order interdependency impacts. Even if the Strait is opened tomorrow (doubtful), far less will now flow through it. www.france24.com/en/france-co...

This should be an impeachable offense. I understand that we’re way past any of that, but that shouldn’t stop us from naming it.

Let us consider the Emperor Commodus, who attired himself as Hercules, claimed to be a god, attempted to rename Rome after himself and raped every girl and boy whose crossed his way. His reign was described by Gibbon as marking the onset of the moral and spiritual collapse of the Roman Empire.
