People can and will argue about the cause of the droughts but they can't argue with the facts of the continued droughts in many places in Canada.
This has a dramatic effect on crop yields and livestock feed prices.
We have all seen the increases in beef prices.
This is the cause.
Farmers admit it.

The AI industry's plot to make people stupid, so it can rule. Thiel: "The basic idea was that we could never win an election...because we were in such a small minority." Enter Big Tech.

AI enthusiasts keep marketing their product as a magic pill that will make universities redundant. Their strategy: get students to read less, write less, and think less. In other words, students will be better off by cheating the process of learning. AI is the grift that keeps on grifting.

"developers and corporations making inflated claims about jobs but leaving residents to deal with polluted land, water, or air, increased traffic and strained infrastructure, and higher costs for utilities and services. They’re done paying for... corporate welfare."
I wrote about ICE's concentration camps and the tech bros' data centers as key elements of the economic infrastructure of fascism.
And how politicians need to take the public's lead in opposing both.

Apparently the National Archives doesn’t realize that this is not just a case of being able to read cursive. This is 18th century cursive, which, I can tell you as someone who transcribes 18th century French cursive, will require more than an untrained volunteer.

Can you read cursive? The National Archives needs volunteers with your 'superpower'
“Reading cursive is a superpower,” said Suzanne Isaacs, a community manager with the National Archives Catalog in Washington, D.C.

I don't see many long threads on here, but I'll try one - it's about Holbein's Ambassadors, his 1533 masterpiece in the National Gallery. It's often presented as a great mystery, but I think once we understand the circumstances in which it was made, its meaning becomes clearer.
