Weird to think I was born in the last month we will have seen colder than average weather.
Wild fact from @billmckibben.bsky.social's latest newsletter:
"The last colder-than-average month on planet earth was in February of 1985, which means that no one under the age of forty has ever known one."

Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records.

Absolutely. This is power on a level so sky high that “they can fuck your kids and no one will try to do anything”
And that’s how we need to talk about extreme wealth. It’s not buying golden toilets, it’s buying your children. That’s the real prize.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

the mad dash—not unlike the gold rush of the 1800s—to consume and paywall info should concern everyone.

Court filings "show top tech firms in a frantic, sometimes clandestine race to acquire the collected works of humanity.” Books were a “crucial prize,” and they "didn’t see it as practical to gain direct permission from publishers and authors to use their work."
